The fully operational phase involves remote
meter reading via the radio modules. In
AMR (fixed) mode, each radio module tran-
sits the reading with a programmable fre-
quency (default: 3 transmissions per day). In
mobile mode (Walk-By/Drive-By), the radio
module emits a data web with the measure-
ments when it receives a call from the read-
ing kit
Maddalena. To receive the signal of
the radio module, go near the meter with
an appropriate receiver, or if a fixed (AMR)
reading system is present, the data is col-
lected automatically.
l
WARNING!
Reading of data can be per-
formed using various software.
Please consult the metering oper-
ator for more information on the
specific use of reading software.
3.1 Synchronisation of
mechanical reading
The radio module stores the volume record-
ed via an inductive sensor. The module is
set-up in the factory with initial volume at
zero.
If the meter on which the radio module is
installed has a reading other than “zero”, it
may be appropriate to synchronise reading
of the mechanical meter and that of the
radio module using the programming kit.
Simply read the value in litres on the me-
ter and set the reading using the activation
module” paragraph).
3.2 Activating the radio module
The radio module is activated through the
NFC port located under the small label
showing the “entry point” logo located be-
side the module’s antenna.
