Field Service Unit Set-Up
The Field Service Unit is a 900 MHz two-way radio frequency (RF) transceiver, used for configuring and
testing Silver Spring 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 Silver Spring Networks 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 Silver Spring
Networks C&I Gas Meter Interface (p/n 1620-05001). The cable assembly attaches with a ‘push and twist’ lock
for the weather-resistant seal.
