ORION RF Reads
When an ORION endpoint transmits a read, one of several results can occur:
• The handheld is in range and receives a transmission and stores the reading.
• The handheld receives a transmission that reports an alert such as tamper or
potential leak.
• No transmission is received.
Below are common reasons for not capturing a read:
• Incorrect endpoint serial number
• Endpoint radio is paused or stopped
• Account record is not loaded into the handheld
• Handheld is out of range of the endpoint
• Obstructed line of site between the handheld and endpoint
Auto Mode Vs Manual Mode
There are 2 Modes for meter reads: Manual Advance Mode and Auto Advance Mode.
Manual Mode – Advances to the next account when a reading is received (or entered)
even if the next account has a reading stored.
Auto Mode – Advances to the next unread meter when a reading is received (or entered).
To toggle between Auto and Manual modes, press and release the A key on the keypad
twice “AA”.
