8) To activate the device at installation
Connect the Parakeet Sensus to a Sensus protocol enabled Encoder/Meter and trigger the
device Radio Test Mode as previously described via a “SWIPE” or “TAP”. Doing this places
The endpoint into Operational Mode for the remainder of the endpoints life.
If a PARAKEET SENSUS is disconnected from a Sensus protocol sensor at any point, the
PARAKEET does not return to Flight Mode, instead reporting communication errors.
9) Confirming an Installation
Reading a PARAKEET SENSUS endpoint immediately after installation verifies proper
operation and reading performance. Before leaving the installation site, the installer can use a
web-app to confirm the endpoint wiring has been done correctly and that the endpoint is
broadcasting RF data for reading.

device.
