3.3 – Test Connection
Each Transceiver comes from NextCentury in
Travel Mode
. In this
mode, all radios on the device are turned off. To exit this mode, simply
press the test connect button (Figure 1-C).
Note:
Once travel mode has been exited, the device will never re-enter that
mode and will remain active.
4|Signal Status LED/ Test Button
The Signal Status LED (Figure 1-E) provides a way to easily check the
status of each device. The following table (Figure 4) shows what the
different LED patterns indicate.
LED Pattern
Descipiton
4x Slow Red Blinks
In
Travel Mode
(see sec. 3.3).
8x Fast Red Blinks
Sending message searching for the GW-
301 Gateway it should
Sync
with.
8x Fast Blue Blinks
Sending message to the GW-301 Gateway
that this device is
Synced
with.
2x Green Blinks
Message has been received succefully by
its GW-301 Gateway.

Signal Status LED Table
4.1 - RF Signal Indicator
•
When the Transceiver is out of
Travel Mode
(see Section
3.3) and is not
Synced
with a GW-301 Gateway, the RF light
will blink red when sending messages. When the
Transceiver has successfully
Synced
with its GW-301
Gateway, the light will blink blue when sending messages.
Anytime a message is successfully received, the LED will
blink green twice.
4.2 - Test Button
•
This button is pressed to see if the Transceiver transmission
is being received by its GW-301 Gateway. If the signal is
being received, the RF LED (Figure 1-E) will blink green
twice.
5|Battery Replacements
Once you get a low battery alert on the NextCentury website,
you will need to replace the CR123 battery.
1.
Open the Transceiver plastics by pressing in on the plastic
release tab (Figure 1-G) while lifting away the top cover.
2.
Remove the previous battery.
3.
Insert the new battery in the orientation indicated on the
battery terminal.
Note
: A TR-201 Transceiver permanently retains pulse data in non-volatile
memory. Reprogramming the Transceiver is not necessary once a new battery
is placed in the transceiver. Once the new battery is placed into the TR-201
Transceiver it will automatically “Sync” to its GW-301 Gateway. Even though
re-programming is not necessary, the initial meter read should be reset to
allow for matching meter reads between the “NextCentury Cloud” and the
meter.
6|Television and Radio Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
7|FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada
Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This portable equipment with its antenna complies with FCC’s and IC’s
RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. Users are advised to maintain a separation distance of
20cm to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure limits.
