E-Coder)R900i Installation and Maintenance Guide 13
Testing the E-Coder)R900i Inside Installation
After the MIU has been installed, follow these steps to verify that the
MIU is working properly.
1 Power up the handheld unit (HHU) test device to start the testing
program provided.
2 When the E-Coder)R900i is installed correctly, its MIU ID# and a
meter-reading appear on the HHU’s display within one minute. Ver-
ify that this is the correct meter reading by comparing it to the
meter’s dial.
3 If a meter reading does not appear on the HHU’s display, or the
meter reading in the HHU’s display is not the same as the reading
on the meter’s dial, do the following:
• Reactivate the MIU by using a flashlight to activate the photo
sensor light.
• Verify the battery is connected.
• Test the installation again (repeat steps 1 and 2).
Completing the E-Coder)R900i Inside Installation
1 Read the MIU once more before leaving the site to ensure MIU is
transmitting.
2 Make sure the appropriate ID# on the MIU has been assigned to the
meter setting.
To avoid RF signal saturation of the HHU, position the receiver at least 2 to 3
feet from the MIU. In a densely saturated area, removing the antenna from
the handheld can assist with readings.
A register reading of 8 most significant digits will be returned.
The light sensor is located under a small recess near the center of the dial
plate. This recess is denoted by a flashlight symbol on the dial plate.
