Important information
4.9.1
Decimal places and scaling
The Metron 2 is designed scale the input readings according to your high and low scales. These high and low
scales can be set to the following limits:
Without decimal place: -999999 to +999999
With decimal place: Six numeric digits, plus an optional negative symbol and a decimal place. For example:
-0.00123
1234.00
-1.23456
99999.9
Are all valid numbers that can be used in the Metron 2.
4.9.2
Cell ID
The Cell ID is a unique identifier of the cell that the Metron is connected to. When the Metron is programmed to
report the Cell ID, it will send this unique ID as channel 99, via SMS or GPRS. This code can be used to look
up the location of the Cell that the Metron 2 is connected to, to give you an idea of its approximate location.
To look up the location using the Cell ID, we recommend you download a smartphone app to do this. One that
we recommend (free) is iCell ID for iOS devices. You just need to enter the Cell ID into the app and it will load
the location of the cell it is connected to.
