A1120/40 Operating & Maintenance Instructions - Chapter 1

___________________________________________________________________________

Elster Metering Limited - M181 001 1A - 5/2009

Introduction

Structure of the Manual

The A1120/40 meter Users Manual consists of a number of Chapters containing information

on Meter Hardware, Communications and Software Support. Each Chapter is self contained

so that for specific information, only that part of the manual needs to be referred to. Each

Chapter can therefore be distributed as a document in its own right.

Manual Numbering System

The manual numbering system is defined as follows:
M181 - (A1120/40) 001 - (Manual variation) - 1 (Chapter number) - A (Issue)

Sections and their Contents

The contents of the manual are divided into the following Chapters:

Chapter 1 - Introduction (M181 001 1)

Chapter 1 contains a general description of the manual itself.

Chapter 2 - Operating & Maintenance Instructions (M181 001 2)

Chapter 2 contains general information on the A1120/40 meter including configuration and

installation.

Chapter 3 - Software Support (M181 001 3)

This Chapter contains full documentation for Power Master Unit Software Support.

This includes Reading, Programming and Configuring the A1120/40 meter.

Chapter 4 - Communications (M181 001 4)

Operating and Installation Instructions for all types of communications including, RS232,

RS485 and GSM modems. General information and configuration data for setting up ASL,

GSM modems are also included.
