BEACON Monitor
BEACON AMA monitors, updates and displays information about each E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meter. Each card on the
Monitor page in BEACON corresponds to a meter in the Utility portfolio. The card is a resource for meter account information,
including meter ID, account ID, name and address.
Click the plus sign (+) in the upper right corner to expand the card. Expanding the card reveals tabs with additional account
information: Location, Meter, Reads, Endpoint and Valve. Select a tab to see information specific to the tab label. In Figure
11*, the Endpoint tab is selected.
*The endpoint must be active and provisioned in BEACON and the Utility Settings must be configured. Complete information is available in BEACON Help.

Next Endpoint Communication
With the Endpoint tab selected, you can see endpoint status information.
The Next Comm field displays the next endpoint call-in time, which includes configured time slots, accelerated endpoint
call-in times when the valve is closed, and “off-peak“ and weekend endpoint call-in times that are scheduled in BEACON. See
"BEACON First Time Setup" on page 9 for more information.
The Endpoint tab also displays the endpoint Signal Strength, which is important for actuating the integrated valve.
Actuation History
With the Valve tab selected, you can see information specific to the valve, including the actuation history. On the expanded
meter card, click the Valve tab, then click the Actuation History arrow to expand the view to see actuation dates, times and
positions (Figure 12).
