Capturing Meter Readings

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

• ORION radio (RF) read

• Manually keyed read

• VersaProbe touch pad read

Figure 18: Reading display field

When the reading is captured, the reading displays on the account read screen. 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 navigation 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. See "Tamper Processing" onpage21.

• No transmission is received from the ORION endpoint. 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 sight between the handheld and the

endpoint is obstructed.

Try moving closer to the meter or tap the right arrow on the account read screen to skip the meter and go to the

next account.

Manual Reads

The handheld can read ORION endpoints and touch pads,

and collect manual reads. If the route contains a mix of

meters, the handheld always stops at a manual or touch

account to allow a meter reading when in Auto mode.

To enter a manual read

1. Tap the Reading eld to activate it.

2. Use the keypad to type the reading value.

3. Press ENTER on the keypad to store the reading.

Result: The software accepts the read and advances to

the next account.

OTE:N If the meter reading is high or low, or has an

exception condition, the handheld sounds an alarm,

displays the condition and requests further action

depending on Settings.
