Read Tasks

MIU reads are typically performed in response to an

assigned workorder (task). MIUs may also be

independently read by a technician to collect the latest

assigned and independent reads: Press “Read” on the

Home page for an independent Read. When prompted,

activate the MIU to be read by placing a magnet on 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 reading and status information from the MIU using radio communications and

display it on a screen for review:

• Meter - Meter Id

• MIU – MIU serial number

• Reading - The last register reading recorded by

the MIU. Pulse registers always return the

current reading as shown on the face of the

the reading returned will be accurate within the

last hour.

• Firmware - The current MIU firmware version

• Battery - the MIU battery voltage

• Alerts - any alerts (problems) on the MIU

It is critical to confirm that this information is correct, especially the MIU and Meter 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 reading is properly

recorded.

When done viewing the reading information, tap “OK”. If completing a task, you will

return to the workorder/task display. If completing an independent read, you will return to

the activate MIU screen ready to perform another reading.
