Underpinning the success of Alexander’s meter reading systems are the field proven tools, such as the VersaProbe® touch wand, along with the latest ultra-rugged and feature rich mobile Android handheld data collection products – Kyocera Duraforce Pro series and Juniper Allegro/Archer series handheld devices. These tools combine ideal features, performance, and reliability that are unmatched in the meter reading operations environment. These tools are built to withstand the rigors of weather, as well as drop and shock events. Further, they ensure consistent, quality data collection each and every day throughout the reading process.
The VersaProbe® was designed to read commercially available, direct-connect, and inductively coupled utility meter register/encoders. The patented VersaProbe® unit operates as a standalone meter reading device for touch-read meters and registers, or as a touch-read add-on to many meter reading handheld devices such as the rugged Kyocera Duraforce Pro series smart phone or the Juniper Systems Allegro/Archer series handheld. Bluetooth® interface functionality enables wireless connectivity between the VersaProbe and a meter reading handheld device, if desired.
The VersaProbe® touch wand allows utilities to read meters efficiently by automating the process of data collection, thereby eliminating read and transaction errors. VersaProbe® enables cost effective touch-reading to save time and reduce meter reading expenses.
