FIGURE 10-11.
Alarm Actuator and Totalizer System
2.7 Repeater. The repeater is used to extend the distance the remote
equipment can be located from the q eter. The repeater is located as close as
practical to the meter. The repeater allows reduction of the electrical load
on the meter generator electrical contacts, extending the life of the device.
It also provides a strong signal to allow monitoring equipment at remote
locations to be as much as several miles from the meter.
2.8 Accumulators. When it becomes necessary to place two or more q eters in
parallel to satisfy a system requirement, an accumulator collects and combines
data from these meters and transmits a totalized signal to the remainder of
the system.
