A wide-area remote telemetry system which monitors and controls remote devices by means of a information control system. The system uses a plurality of sensor interface modules which constantly monitor devices for triggering events. The sensor interface modules transmit information to at least one data collection module which gathers, process, stores and transmits information to a host system via standard external communication systems. The host module receives, records, processes, and transmits information to the network. The information may then be transmitted to customers or may be accessed by customers as desired.

1. A pulse encoder for a sensor interface module, said pulse encoder for use with an existing meter having a meter dial, said encoder comprising:an encoder shaft having a first end with a top and bottom, and a second end having an attachment clip, wherein said bottom is slotted to fit over a meter dial and said top has a shoulder; a surrounding spring mounted around said encoder shaft and biased against said shoulder; an encoding magnetic field generator having a central opening therethrough, wherein said generator is mounted over said encoder shaft in order to rotate with said encoder shaft and biased against said surrounding spring; and a magnetically actuated reed switch positioned adjacent to said shaft having two flexible reeds, wherein each reed has a contact point for connecting and deconnecting with the contact point of the other reed whereby the rotation of a magnetic field by the magnetic field generator causes the connecting and deconnecting of said contacts.
