ORION® Automated Meter Reading System for Trimble® Ranger™
Program & Quick Read
Program & Quick Read is used to perform a number of functions on ORION endpoints and touch modules.
Quick Read allows you to read one meter at a time without having meters loaded into the handheld. The handheld gathers
the meter reading and displays the results on the screen.
The most common uses of the Quick Read feature are:
• Reading an endpoint or touch module when troubleshooting or testing at a customer site
• Reading one or more endpoints or touch modules that are to be installed at a customer site, to verify that they are
working correctly
• Testing a newly installed endpoint
• Performing meter testing at the meter shop
• Gathering a final reading from a meter
Note: The handheld does not store any Quick Read information and cannot send any Quick Reads back to the reading
data management software.
Quick Reads offer flexibility. You can view up to 50 readings received or you can request to view readings from a specific
ORION endpoint.
