1.       Introduction
         The following document describes the technical specification of the second generation of
         Water Meter transceiver board (called ETMW-SM) for the USA market.


         The ETMW-SM is actually a water odometer, offering Automatic Meter Reading – AMR.
         The ETMW-SM is 2-Way RF communicator built-in water meter. The RF capabilities
         enable the transmission of the meter reading and some extra information to a Collecting
         unit. In addition specific parameters can be programmed via the RF link.


         The ETMW-SM operates at the 900MHz ISM band. The board consists of the following
         units: RF Transmitter & Receiver with integral Antenna and a Microcontroller (plus
         simple Digital Logic), which control the operational modes of the unit.
