ROSSMA IIOT-AMS ANALOG meter-switch is designed for data acquisition from monitoring and measuring instruments with current interface 4…20 mA and/or 4…20 mA+HART and/or resistive interface such as pt1000, Ni1000, TK5000, with subsequent wireless data transmission. It can be used at industrial facilities, housing and communal services infrastructure, and in hard-to-reach locations. The meter-switch enables installation of monitoring instruments in places without power supply and operates in harsh climatic and weather conditions.
Depending on configuration, devices are equipped with a built-in 3.6 V battery with capacity of 14 Ah, or built-in battery packs with 3.6 V voltage and capacity of 126 Ah or 168 Ah. Simultaneously, the meter-switch can be powered from an external DC source with voltage from 3.3 V.
WARNING: Meter-switches are equipped with non-rechargeable lithium-thionyl chloride (LiSOCl2) battery ER34615M/T manufactured by Fanso. Attempts to charge the battery may cause fire!
ROSSMA IIOT-AMS ANALOG is equipped with one analog input, or one analog input with HART protocol support, or four analog inputs.

Operating Principle
The meter-switch supports two operating modes:
✅ Working with Active Instruments
Operating with monitoring and measuring instruments powered by an external power source.

Figure 1. Connecting active control and measuring instruments to ROSSMA IIOT-AMS ANALOG X1
✅ Working with Passive Instruments
Operating with monitoring and measuring instruments powered by the meter-switch's built-in battery.

Figure 2. Connecting passive control and measuring instruments to ROSSMA IIOT-AMS ANALOG X1
Operating Algorithm:
- Data is read from the monitoring instrument with a configurable period starting from 30 seconds. Data is stored in meter-switch memory and transmitted during scheduled wireless sessions at set intervals.
- Data transmission period can be configured from 30 seconds. By default, manufacturer sets data transmission interval to once every 15 minutes. Data transmission is performed by a timer set in the meter-switch's internal memory.
- Meter-switch communication timing management is performed via network server and can be adjusted by command.
