18 E-Coder)R900i Installation and Maintenance Guide
Testing the E-Coder)R900i Pit 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 appears on the HHU’s display within one minute.
Verify 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:
• 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 Pit Installation
1 Read the MIU one more time 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.
3 Before leaving the installation site, refer to the “Checklist” on
page 14
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 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.
