5.4.RTM-register pairing
5.4.1.Programming current register reading (pulse register only)
This feature allows to initialize the current reading of each Port.
RTM Elster AMCO measures, and count pulses coming from the pulse register. It is thus necessary to
establish the link between the reading of the meter given in volume unit (gallon, for example), and RTM
Elster AMCO current reading accessible through radio link.
Example : if the water meter indicates 1000 gallons.
- if the pulse register is from type k = 1 (1 pulse per gallon)
1000 pulses represent 1000 gallons, so the value to be programmed into the RTM current
reading will be 1000.
- if the pulse register is from type k = 10 (1 pulse per 10 gallons)
100 pulses represent 1000 gallons, so the value to be programmed into the RTM current
reading will be 100.
- if the pulse register is from type k = 100 (1 pulse per 100 gallons)
10 pulses represent 1000 gallons, so the value to be programmed into the RTM current
reading will be 10.
5.4.2.Programming pulse value (pulse register only)
In order to know through a radio command the pulse value of the meter connected to the RTM Elster AMCO,
specific parameters for each Port allows to store the corresponding pulse value.
The pulse value is used to convert the water consumption read in number of pulses, in volume unit ( gallon
for example).
RTM Elster AMCO provides up to 4 parameters to store the pulse value of each wired water meter.
ATTENTION:
the pulse value will only be stored for informative purpose. RTM Elster AMCO does not use it to convert
automatically the readings. Because of the wide range of pulse value, all operations are processed in
number of pulses, it is up to the user software to convert the information in volume unit.
5.4.3.Programming meter model (pulse register only)
“meter model” parameters gives an indication on the digital register type connected on each Port. It can be
initialized during “RTM-Register pairing” phase but it is not mandatory. Default value is 0 and corresponds to
unknown type. This field is just for informative purpose.
ATTENTION:
the meter model will only be given for informative purpose. RTM Elster AMCO does not use it. This
parameter could be useful for user software to ensure proper register reading interpretation for billing
purposes for example. It's up to user software to define the correspondence between meter model
parameter value and digital register type connected.
