transponder ID number is 4368172 and the meter serial number is 99586212. (Note that
the order of the name is determined by the Route Management software. If the Route
software downloads the last name first, the ReadAll will display the name in that manner.
If the Route software downloads the first name first, the ReadAll will display the name in
that way.)
Starting the Reading Process
To gather a reading for any meter, press either of the READ buttons on the unit above the
screen on the left and right sides. If it is more convenient, you can also start the meter
reading process by pressing the touch screen anywhere in the customer and meter
information area.
Once the meter reading processing has started (by pressing the screen or one of the
READ buttons), the ReadAll will begin the reading process for the AMR technology for
this meter.
• For TRACE meters, the ReadAll will interrogate the transponder to gather the
meter reading.
• For meters read manually, the ReadAll will display a numeric keypad to allow
you to enter the manual meter reading.
Manual Meter Reading
When you press a READ button or the customer area on the read screen for a meter that
is read manually, the ReadAll will display a numeric keypad to allow you to enter the
meter reading.
