Field Service Unit Set-Up
The Field Service Unit is a 900 MHz two-way radio frequency (RF) transceiver, used for
configuring and testing Innovatec devices.
After arriving at the customer site, activate and test the Field Service Unit as follows:
CAUTION
DO NOT
turn the Field Service Unit
ON
if
the antenna is not installed. Damage to
the Field Service Unit will result.
1. Plug the Field Service Unit connection cord into the serial port of the laptop
computer.
2. Plug a 9 VDC / 500 mA power supply into the Field Service Unit power socket.
CAUTION
Using anything other than a 9 VDC /
500 mA power source may damage the
Field Service Unit.
3. Turn on the Field Service Unit. An indicator light will shine if the
Field Service Unit power supply is functioning correctly.
Installation Procedure
1. Remove index register from C&I gas meter. For American, Rockwell and Sprague meters,
remove the index register and replace with the Pulsimatic pulse output register or the
RioTronics index register with pulse output. For a Roots meter interface, attach the
appropriately modified register head with pulse output to the meter before installing the pulse
output pickup device.
2. Attach the Innovatec C&I Gas Meter Interface (p/n 1620-05001) to a surrounding fixture to
the gas meter. Fixturing locations can include the meter piping, meter fixturing brackets or
surrounding structures.
3. Attach the cable assembly from the Pulsimatic or RioTronics pulse output generator to the
Innovatec C&I Gas Meter Interface (p/n 1620-05001). The cable assembly attaches with a
‘push and twist’ lock for the weather-resistant seal.
