Elster Handhelds
User Guide 67 7. Installing RTMs
The final status will be displayed as either Set Pass or Failed.
After a successful installation:
• The RTM subcount value will be set to zero.
• The status will be displayed as Installed.
2. Press OK to move to the next account.
If the GPS coordinates are zero, the interrogator will automatically read them at this
time.
Using the scanner
The scanner feature is available with installation routes. To use the scanner requires a
Bluetooth card in the handheld device and the scanner must be Bluetooth enabled.
The scanner can be used instead of using Find or typing in the RTM serial number at the
beginning of the installation process.
• To use the scanner, press the scanner trigger while scanning the RTM serial number
bar code label.
A successful scan will cause the handheld to beep and cause the scanner to beep
twice.
The scanned RTM serial number will then be displayed in the RTM field.
See “Scanner and GPS properties” on page 87 for scanner configuration properties for the
handheld device.
Taking GPS coordinates
GPS coordinates can be captured during RTM installation. To use GPS requires a Bluetooth
card in the handheld and the GPS receiver must be Bluetooth enabled.
Note: Turn on the GPS receiver before trying to capture GPS coordinates. The device takes
about 30 - 45 seconds to get a good satellite fix.
