SMiRF

- QSG

When connecting an MIU to a water

meter register, enter the number of

moving and painted dials. Tap on

the numbers to adjust them to match

the dials on the face of the register

being installed.

If the MIU is being connected to a

pulse register, you must also set the

initial register reading, the pulse

constant and pulse ratio.

To set the initial reading, tap the moving dials and pick their

proper values from the list shown. Your system administrator

should provide the pulse constant and ratio values. The pulse

constant is a multiplier applied to each pulse from the register, the

pulse ratio is a divisor. For example, to configure a register that generates a pulse for every 5

gallons consumed, enter a pulse constant of 10 and a pulse ratio of 2.

Consumption = Pulses x Constant / Ratio

When done tap, “Next”.

When the SMiRF prompts you to activate the MIU, place a magnet

against the activation location on the MIU. When the MIU has

been successfully activated, it will initiate radio communication with

the SMiRF and in a few seconds the SMiRF will beep to indicate

that the MIU has been detected; it will then gather information

about the MIU using radio communications and display it on a

screen for review.

It is critical to confirm that this

information is correct, especially the

MIU ID. When many technicians are

working in the same area, it is possible that the SMiRF received a

message from a different MIU that was activated by another

technician. It is very important to check the Meter Id and MIU ID to

ensure the installation is properly recorded. If any of this data is in

error, tap “Back” and correct it. When everything is correct tap

“Next”.

The SMiRF performs the installation using the entered data and the

acquired GPS information. If GPS information is not available an

warning message is displayed. Upon successfully installing the

device an installation summary window is shown for review. When

done evaluating the information, tap “OK”.
