Deployment Procedure

The following procedure lists the steps required to deploy mulitport meters.

1. Install the electric meter epuipped with a TWACS module and an EMTR-3.

2. Install the ORION intelligent end device (IED).

3. Use the Listen List from the HHTR-3 to determine which ORION IEDs are

being heard by the selected EMTR-3.

4. Since the installer knows the ORION IED serial number, install the ORION

IED using the Listen List. If you hear nothing or obtain Error Code #33 (see

Error code descriptions and solutions on page 62) repeat this step.

5. If the ORION IED serial number is not in the Listen List, then program the

IED serial number into the ORION Connect ™ software in the Radix

handheld device. Listen for that particular serial number from a distance of

4-5 feet from the TWACS-equipped electric meter.

6. If you still cannot detect it, walk closer to the ORION IED to check if the

device is communicating.

7. If the ORION IED is heard within 4-5 feet of the EMTR-3 by the Radix

handheld device, but is not in the Listen List, check for another EMTR-3

within a clear line of sight and repeat the process.

OTES

This procedure is a recommendation, but it is not a requirement. Exact

installation procedures will be determined by the utility company and the

installers.

Multiple IEDs such as water, gas, or propane, do not need to be installed in any

particular order.

ORION water meters begin broadcasting when they detect a certain flow rate,

but ORION gas meters require installers to manually turn on the radio.
