DIAGNOSTIC MODE
The meter’s diagnostic mode is a useful tool for determining meter issues and
preventing potential problems in the future. Use the + and
– keys to scroll through the
various menus. To enter a menu item, press the
OK
button. To exit out of the menu,
press the
CANCEL
button. To completely exit Diagnostic Mode, press the
CANCEL
button several times until the meter is in the operational mode. If
OK
is pressed on a
menu item that has no further information or options (such as Software), the Cancel key
must be pressed before other menu items may be accessed.
Note:
Each meter is individually configured and thus may have different menu items
available than the ones described below.
Main Screen
Once diagnostic mode is entered, the first screen
displayed (above) will show the firmware version (top
right corner), the name of the meter’s current
configuration, serial number (which should match the
number on the top of the meter), and the pole’s RFID
tag number.
Faults
This menu will display any errors reported by the meter.
When an error occurs, a message is sent to
maintenance staff via SMS or e-mail. The message
indicates the type of error that occurred, the time, and
the location. Here is a sample message generated
when the meter detects a coin blockage:
“Coin Blockage at Pole Serial Number X-YYY (Terminal Serial Number 0012345)”
(Refer to the index for a complete list of codes).
