 Resolve Reading Malfunctions and
Bad Reads
During the course of reading a route, you may encounter
errors when the AR5000 captures partial data. This can
include errors in the meter ID or errors reading the data from
the meter. When the system encounters a bad read, you can
re-read the meter ID or you can manually enter the read for
the current location.
Note
If the system does not locate the meter ID
anywhere in the route, the screen displays a
“Not Found on Route” message. Use the tab
key to select Store and save the read data into
the system memory. Select Apply to save the
data to the currently displayed location.
Note
This error only occurs with TouchRead or
RadioRead systems. For more information, see
Enter TouchRead Readings on page 2-16 and
Enter RadioRead Readings (AR5002 only) on
page 2-18.
