Method for managing a communicating meter

Abstract

A method for managing a communicating meter supplied by cell, for measuring consumption of a fluid, the meter including a measurement unit. The meter has three operating modes: a nominal operating mode wherein the measurement unit makes measurements at a predetermined nominal frequency, a degraded operating mode wherein the measurement unit makes measurements at a predetermined degraded frequency lower than the nominal, and a minimum operating mode wherein the measurement unit makes measurements at the predetermined degraded frequency, and a control unit of the meter performs the following steps: making an estimation of the remaining capacity of the meter battery; requesting that the meter passes from the nominal to the degraded operating mode when the estimation is below or equal to a first threshold; and requesting that the meter passes from the degraded to the minimum operating mode when the estimation is below or equal to a second threshold.
