2. CellNet Water MTU Overview
The sections which follow provide a high-level functional description of the
CellNet Water MTU.
2.1 Features
The CellNet Water MTU provides the following features:
2.1.1 Field Configurable
The CellNet Water MTU can be configured via the programming interface using
the Touch Gun. Configurable parameters are as specified in [ref 2]. Note that
configuration is limited to parameter settings that are consistent with the
Marketing Specification – particularly with respect to battery life.
Field re-configurability is not supported for this release, but will be supported in
subsequent releases of this product.
2.1.2 Magnetic Switch Controlled Activation/Deactivation
The CellNet Water MTU can be “activated” and “deactivated” by passing a
magnet over a magnetic switch present on the endpoint.
2.1.3 Magnetic Switch Forced Transmission
Once the CellNet Water MTU has been activated, it can be forced to transmit
meter readings by passing a magnet over the magnetic switch.
2.1.4 Touch Coupled Register Interface
The CellNet Water MTU communicates with the register via an inductive
interface, making the endpoint/register connection easier to install and less
prone to water damage due to incorrect installation.
2.1.5 Battery Life
The CellNet Water MTU, when deployed as configured at the factory, will
operate for [TBD] years.
