READy MTU

7.3  Create a group of non-Kamstrup meters for READy MTU installation

It is recommended to create a group of non-Kamstrup meters that will be retrofitted with READy MTU that can be synced with 
READy App.
Create a group:

1. Select the 

Meters

 view in READy Manager.

2. Select 

New group

. Name the group.

3. Select the meters that are to be part of the group and add the meters to the group.

7.4  MTU modes and LED blinking scheme

7.4.1  MTU modes
7.4.1.1  Transport mode

When you receive READy MTU, the device is in transport mode. In transport mode, the radio is deactivated. The magnet sensor 
for activating the MTU is active.
By influencing the magnet sensor for 3 seconds, the LED on the front of READy MTU turns on. The MTU checks if a meter is 
connected on the encoded interface before turning on the radio. If no meter is connected, READy MTU remains in transport 
mode.
Remember to enable transport mode when decommissioning READy MTU. See section 

9.6 Decommissioning.

7.4.1.2  Installation mode

After activation, READy MTU starts up in installation mode. The LED turns on and a connection beacon is sent out every 4 
seconds.
Installation mode is active for 5 minutes after activation.
After the installation mode period has ended, READy MTU enters normal mode.
When operating in normal mode, installation mode can be triggered by holding the magnet to the front of READy MTU. This will 
also reactivate the LED.

7.4.1.3  Operation mode

In operation mode, READy MTU can at all times be accessed via READy App. A connection beacon is sent every 30 seconds 
during normal operation. The LED is not active in normal mode.

7.4.2  LED blinking scheme

1 time every 5 seconds

Everything is OK.
READy MTU is reading the encoded output and sending data 
via AMI. 

3 times every 5 seconds

Something is wrong.
READy MTU is not reading the encoded output or sending 
data via AMI.
