Abstract

A system for remotely reading meters utilizing cable communications as shown in Figure 1 . A sensor decoder (2) is connected to the output of a utility meter (M). The sensor decoder converts the meter output to digital data which is transmitted over a communications cable line (c) to a remote location (8). The data concerning the meter is decoded at the remote location.
