Using the RoadMAPS Unit

The collection method on the Account Detail screen is either
R100, R200, R300, R900 or ERT. Route numbers usually derive
from route numbers assigned at the time of previous meter read-
ing routes, such as handheld meter reader routes.
Rereading Missed Accounts
The procedure for rereading missed accounts is similar to the pro-
cedure used on the initial reading. To assist in reading missed
accounts, you may need to view route and account details to
locate the exact starting point for reading. It might also be helpful
to drive slower and get as close as possible to the missed meters
to improve chances of receiving read data.
To identify a missed meter, select a route from the Route Selection
screen that shows a read status of less than 100% in the progress
bar at the top of the screen. Once selected, missed accounts from
that route are shown on the Missed Reads screen.
If necessary, use the MIU Detail button for the missed account
and determine if there are any problems with the account that pre-
vent a successful reading. Note the address of any accounts for
subsequent reading and reporting.
To reread a missed meter, drive to the first unread account
address on the route and position your vehicle for meter reading.
Reread the remaining accounts on the route.
If you do not succeed in reading an account after a second
attempt, the account remains with a status of unread in the PC
memory card to be returned to the utility. The company can ini-
tiate follow-up action to investigate the source of the reading
problem.
Pausing and Restarting Meter Reading
Follow this procedure to stop and then restart data collection
using the RoadMAPS unit. This is useful if you want to review the
route reading status of a route or individual account or if you need
to look up the starting address for a route to be read.
