Stealth Reader

Configuration

In order to configure the Stealth Reader it has to be fully Installed go to the SMiRF.

MIU installations are typically performed in response to an assigned workorder (task).

MIUs may also be installed independently by a technician (e.g. for a demonstration or

as a repeater to extend range). The installation processes for task assigned and

independent installs are very similar. They are described below and the differences

are noted.

To install an MIU without a workorder, tap “Install”. Then select the type of MIU to be

installed. If it is a workorder go to Tasks and start from that window. The windows are

the same as follows.

When connecting an MIU to an absolute encoder or pulse register, the software

displays wiring hints for connecting the MIU to the register. After correctly wiring the

devices, tap “OK” to continue.

If the MIU location and meter ID have not already been provided in a workorder, a

form is presented for the technician to enter the Meter Id, Address, City, and State.

If installing a Repeater there will be no Meter Id. The Meter ID and the Address are

required fields. You may not proceed without filling out all of the required fields.

When connecting an MIU to a register, enter the number of moving and painted

dials. Tap on the numbers to adjust them to match the dials on the face of the

If the MIU is being connected to a pulse register, you must also set the initial register

reading, the pulse constant and pulse ratio. To set the initial reading, tap the moving

dials and pick their proper number from the list shown; this tells the MIU what the

current register reading is. Your system administrator should provide the pulse

constant and ratio values. The pulse constant is a multiplier applied to each pulse

from the register, the pulse ratio is a divisor. For example, for a register that

generates a pulse for ever 5 gallons consumed, enter a pulse constant of 10 and a

pulse ratio of 2. Tap the numbers to adjust them to the correct values.

When done tap, “Next”.

The SMiRF then prompts you to activate the MIU so it can communicate with the

MIU. Activate the MIU by placing a magnet on the activation location on the MIU.

When the MIU has been successfully activated, it will initiate radio communication

with the SMiRF and in a few seconds the SMiRF will beep to indicate that the MIU

has been detected; it will then gather information about the MIU using radio

communications and display it on a screen for review.
