A remote meter reading system (10) includes a group of meter interface units in which each meter interface unit (12) operates between periods of activity and inactivity. The plurality of meter interface units (12) are assigned to groups, each of the meter groups having a sleep rate assigned. Upon reading each of the meter interface units (12), the sleep rate assigned to the meter interface units (12) in each of the groups is advanced to the next group's sleep rate. This process is cycled through all of the meter groups in the system in order for all of the meter interface units to have approximately the same amount of overall battery savings.

Un système de lecture (10) de compteurs de télémesure comporte un groupe d'interfaces de compteur, lesquelles (12) fonctionnent chacune entre des périodes d'activité et d'inactivité. Ces interfaces de compteur (12) sont attribuées à des groupes auxquels un rythme de sommeil respectif est attribué. Lors de la lecture de chaque interface de compteur (12) la fréquence de sommeil attribuée à chacune d'elles dans chaque groupe est avancée par rapport à celle du groupe suivant. Ce processus est répété dans tous les groupes de compteurs du système de sorte que les économies de batterie globales soient approximativement les mêmes pour toutes les interfaces de compteur.
