RFN-430SL Radio Frequency
Electric Meter Node
Save time and money with
remote meter reading
The RFN-430SL is your
gateway to the Smart
Grid with low-cost
remote meter reading of
medium to large
commercial and
industrial (C&I) power
customers and
advanced data
collection capabilities.
The RFN-430SL is based on the
Itron Sentinel® meter and allows
bidirectional communications of
data via Eaton’s Cooper Power
Systems Radio Frequency AMI
Network saving valuable time
and money.
The Radio Frequency AMI
Network utilizes an industry
leading self-forming,
self-optimizing, self-healing and
future-proof radio frequency
network infrastructure. There is
no field network configuration
required at any time. Once the
meter is powered up, the
network does the rest.
