Programming MOSAIC FIREFLYs
Pre-Installation Setup
#1 Verify the ROADRUNNER Date / Time / and Time Zone settings are correct
Refer to the ROADRUNNER Pocket Guide for step-by-step instructions.
#2 [F5-1] Set your FIREFLY Template:
See Appendix A through F for specific Template parameters
The “Desired Firmware” template option can be utilized to specify the version of firmware that
should be loaded to each FIREFLY being programmed. When setup, this feature will
automatically detect the current FIREFLY firmware version and load the “Desired Firmware”
version during FIREFLY programming if the two values do not match.
#3 [F5-6] Set the Reading Mode
Set the FIREFLY mode to Verify FF Read
Set Reading Mode options include the following:
“Single FF Read” allows the user to interrogate a single non-mesh FIREFLY (selected on the
ROADRUNNER) during the time it is configured to accept reading requests.
“Verify FF Read” allows the user to Read Verify the physical meter reading against the non-
mesh FIREFLY reading during the time the non-mesh FIREFLY is configured to accept reading
requests.
“Multi FF Read” allows the user to interrogate all non-mesh FIREFLYs (in the current route on
the ROADRUNNER) during the time they are configured to accept reading requests.
NOTE: After a read is taken in Multi FF Read mode, the FIREFLY enters a
dormant state for 10 minutes. This is done to reduce the amount of RF traffic.
The FIREFLY will not respond to commands during this dormant time.
#4 [F5-9] Check the Options Screen
(Please see the Options section below for an explanation of all Options.)
Check the options screen from the FIREFLY Menu for the following:
1) FIREFLY Support Mode = MOSAIC Mode
2) Capture Data = Enabled
3) Delta Warning = 2
4) Truncation = Enabled
5) Connection ID Method = Serial Number (*NOTE* the first time a FIREFLY is programmed, the
connection method must be set to serial number)
