ABSTRACT:
A system for remote reading of meters such as utility meters comprised of an encoder for generating and storing pulses which can be interrogated as needed to determine usage or for load information. The encoder is comprised of a pulse generator connected to the meter for generating a pulse for each incremental movement of the meter which is then converted to binary coded digital data and stored. A two tone oscillator is provided for reading the stored data over telephone lines. An inhibit circuit inhibits the outputs of the two tone oscillators when the phone line is in use or when there are disturbances on the line.
