Optical Communication Head CL4S

This optical probe is used for local communication with electrical energy meters. It's compliant with the IEC 62056-21 (in the past IEC1107). The communication is galvanically isolated. It works with infrared light.
The head has an infrared transmit and an infrared receive diode. It's magnetically fixed on the meter port for optical communication. From the meter side, this port can also be sealed.
