This value is programmed at the factory and is retained in the event
of a power interruption. The value can be reprogrammed if your
requirements change.
5. Daily Read History
The value in each Daily Read e-index is recorded at a pre-
determined time every day and can be retrieved for up to 35 days. In
the event of a power interruption these values are lost and cannot be
retrieved.
6. Time of Use (TOU) e-index Parameters
There can be different values for each TOU e-index. These values
are programmed at the factory, but will be lost in the event of a
power interruption. If your requirements change the TOU start and
stop times can be reprogrammed at any time.
7. Time of Use (TOU) e-index Values
The value in each TOU e-index accumulates as the mechanical
index registers consumption. In the event of a power interruption the
values in each TOU e-index is lost and cannot be recovered.
8. Index Drive Size / Subcounts per Revolution / Pre-Dividers
The pre-divider value is programmed at time of manufacture and is
dependant on the drive size of the meter/index being used with the
transponder. This value can be reprogrammed by the utility if your
requirements change. The pre-divider value resides in flash memory
and it is not lost in the event of a power interruption.
9. Pressure Compensation Factor
The pressure compensation factor programmed by the utility at time
of installation is lost in the event of a power interruption, and must be
reprogrammed. Compensation factors are unique for specific
indexes and can be obtained by contacting AMCO Automated
Systems’ Customer Service Department at [phone].
