APPENDIX C: THE AMR TOOLBOX
Programming the Transmitter
The AMR RF transmitter can be reprogrammed using the
AMR ToolBox. This is generally done during installation
or when changing the meter. Basic programming functions
include:
• Enabling the transmitter
• Testing the transmitter
• Forcing a transmission
• Changing the transmitter parameters
For more details on programming the transmitter, see
AMR ToolBox User Guide.
If the transmitter parameters are changed once it is
operational, the meter readings should be recorded, as
described in the Recording Counter Values/Readings
section of the Installation chapter, to ensure data collection
integrity.
Connecting the Transmitter to the ToolBox
In order to reprogram, the transmitter is connected to a
programmer unit which is connected to a PC running the
AMR ToolBox, as shown in the figure below.
