Capturing Meter Readings

The ORION Field Application software captures meter readings in one of three ways:

• ORION RF read

• VersaProbe touch pad read

• Manually keyed read

Figure 19: Reading display field

The meter reading displays on the account read screen. When reading in Manual mode, the reading display field is blank until

the meter reader enters the reading. When reading in Auto mode, the field fills and the display automatically advances to the

next account when a reading is received.

If the meter reading is high or low, the handheld sounds an alarm, displays the condition and may or may not request further

action depending on the settings.

ORION RF Reads

When an ORION endpoint sends a reading, one of several results can occur.

• The handheld receives a transmission and stores the reading. If the meter was displayed on the screen, the display

advances to the next customer account record (Auto mode).

• The handheld receives a transmission that reports an alert such as a tamper or a potential leak. For a potential leak,

the handheld logs the condition and stores a read. For a tamper, the handheld sounds an audible alert and prompts

you to process the tamper before advancing to the next account.

• No transmission is received from the ORION endpoint. Try moving closer to the meter or tap Next to skip the meter.

Common reasons for not receiving a reading include:

• Incorrect endpoint serial number. • Handheld is out of range of the endpoint.

• Endpoint has not been started. • Handheld time and/or date is not correct

• Endpoint serial number is not loaded into the

handheld.

• The line of site between the handheld and the

endpoint is obstructed.

ORION ME endpoints and ORION SE endpoints operating in mobile mode are capable of two-way communication with the

ORION ME FHSS transceiver. In addition to the current reading, additional two-way communication functionality is accessible

via the ORION ME Details button on the account read screen as explained at "ORION ME Details" onpage21.
