Programming Configurations - Parameters Explained
VHP ONLY
Radio Options are “ON” or “OFF”. “ON” setting will cause the device to transmit.
Register Select the meter manufacturer from this list. This enables the Smart Transmitter to
“understand” what the meter is “saying” and correctly interpret the data.
Refer to the VHP manufacturer-specific information in this section for more info.
TX rate Sets the interval between transmissions. Default is “044sec”, or every 44 seconds.
Time NOT USER CHANGEABLE. Current time in 24-hour format. Example: 7:00PM = 19:00,
NOT 07:00.
Day NOT USER CHANGEABLE. Current day of the week.
Time Mode? Options are “OFF”, “TIMED”, “MON-FRI” and “T & M-F”. This enables the
Smart Transmitter to “sleep” at the designated intervals set below. When enabled, this
option will significantly extend the performance and usable life of the
Smart Transmitter.
• “OFF” will make the Smart Transmitter transmit 24/7.
• “TIMED” will make the radio “sleep” (stop transmitting) at the End Time and
“wake up” (start transmitting) at the Start Time.
• “MON-FRI” will make the radio “sleep” (stop transmitting) on Saturday and
Sunday and “wake up” (start transmitting) Monday through Friday.
• “T & M-F” combines both the “TIMED” and “MON-FRI”, so the Smart Transmitter
will only “wake up” (start transmitting) Monday through Friday between the
Start Time and End Time, and “sleep” (stop transmitting) at night and on the
weekends. This is the MARS recommended setting.
Start Time “Wake up” time for the Time Mode setting. See above.
End Time
“Sleep” time for the Time Mode setting. See above.
Radio ID: PULSE / ARB-V ONLY. 10-digit ID for the
Smart Transmitter to transmit. When
connected to an encoded register, the Smart Transmitter will ALWAYS assume the ID of
the register.
Serial No: NOT USER CHANGEABLE. Internal serial number.
Pulse Fact PULSE / ARB-V ONLY. 8-Digit pulse multiplier for the internal odometer of the
Smart Transmitter. It is ALWAYS read left to right. This tells the Smart Transmitter
what each pulse means as far as advancing the internal odometer to match the meter.
Example: Meter is configured for 1 pulse/gallon. The utility wants to bill in 100’s of
gallons with 6 digits. “Pulse Fact”=00000001, “Pulse Num”= current reading, and
“Pulse Digits”=6.
Digits PULSE / ARB – V ONLY. Number of digits, or wheels, for the internal odometer to read
and transmit. Normally this would be 6, but in pulse or ARB-V mode this can be
changed to suit the customers’ needs.
Reading PULSE / ARB-V ONLY. Starting point for the internal odometer in pulse or ARB-V
mode. Input the current reading for the register in this field. It is ALWAYS read left to
right.
Take care to note that the units when calculating the Pulse Factor, Pulse Number, and
Pulse Digits align! Otherwise, you may experience undesired operation.
No-Flow Options are “OFF” or “ON”. Sets the no-flow alarm. This will set a flag to alert the user
while reading the route if this condition exists.
Leak Lrg Options are “OFF” or “ON”. Sets the large leak detection alarm. This will set a flag to
alert the user while reading the route if this condition exists.
Leak Sml Options are “OFF” or “ON”. Sets the small leak detection alarm. This will set a flag to
alert the user while reading the route if this condition exists.
Wheel Num This is the wheel for the alert flags to monitor, and is set as the digit of the odometer
from the
left. For small leak detection, MARS recommends setting the wheel number
to the 10’s of gallons wheel to avoid any false alarms. Please refer to the pulse
parameter information in this section for more information on odometer wheels .
