Intelis Gas Meter Test Mode
You must exit Test Mode to program Test Mode parameters. Attempting to program Test
Mode parameters while the meter is in Test Mode will result in a temporary error. Test Mode
configurable parameters include:
• Pulse width. Default pulse width is 150 ms.
• Pulse weight. Default pulse weight is 0.25 cf/pulse.
• Maximum Test Mode time. Default is 1 hour.
Important: The default Test Mode time is 1 hour. The Intelis Gas Meter will automatically
time out after 1 hour in Test Mode whether there is activity or not.
Test Mode configuration can be completed at the factory at the time the meter is
manufactured. Parameters are configured in one of three ways:
• Through a custom programming file.
• Through programmed default configuration.
• In the field using FDM Tools.
Note: Refer to the instructions for your prover type in the following sections for the
recommended Test Mode pulse width and pulse weight parameters.
Entering Test Mode
Entering Test Mode is accomplished using either the FDM mobile client or through the
magnet in the prover connection end of the prover cable. After the Intelis enters Test Mode,
the following steps occur.
1. The Intelis Gas Meter logs an Entering Test Mode event.
2. The Intelis Gas Meter enters Test Mode.
3. The Intelis Gas Meter Test Mode index is reset to a zero reading.
4. The Intelis Gas Meter starts an optical pulse output.
Caution:
There are some parameters that could result in the Intelis Gas Meter
constantly pulsing (such as a small pulse weight and a long pulse width with a
high flow rate.) Adjust the pulse width, the pulse weight, or flow rate as needed.
5. The Intelis Gas Meter LCD moves to Test Display Mode.
Recording Test Mode consumption
While the Intelis Gas Meter is in Test Mode, the listed operations occur.
