Abstract
A method for managing the operation of an information sensor for a meter, includes putting the sensor into a deep standby mode, in which a battery of the sensor does not supply electrical power in particular to a module for demodulating signals from the meter; connecting the sensor to the meter; detecting, using a detection module of the sensor, an information signal from the meter; removing the sensor from the deep standby mode in order to put same into an operative mode in which the battery supplies electrical power in particular to the demodulation module.
Claims11
A method for managing the operation of an information sensor for a meter, the method comprising:
- putting the sensor into a deep standby mode, in which a battery of said sensor does not supply electrical power to a module configured to demodulate signals from said meter;
- connecting the sensor to the meter;
- detecting, using a sensor detection module, an information signal from the meter;
- removing the sensor from the deep standby mode to put the sensor in an active mode in which the battery supplies electrical power to the demodulation module.
