Datalogging
The M1B radio logs data as an
enhanced data function.
The basic data functions of the M1B
radio – leak detection, backflow,
high usage – are all detectable
through the normal remote AMR
operations (via the reading system).
The datalogging function offers a
first-hand customer-service tool to
examine the consumption pattern of
a specific meter. For instance, if a
customer has been flagged as
having a possible leak, the water
utility can use the FPDA to
download the meter/radio’s data and
immediately discuss the site’s usage
data.
