Table 2-7 RF Buster
The RF Buster consists of:
• A relatively strong magnet (using the orientation as shown in Table 2-7,
the magnet is on the lower right corner of the RF Buster)
• An LED/Speaker
• A short range RF Receiver, tuned (roughly) to the range of 911.58MHz
through 917.58MHz
• A button that enables the RF Receiver while it is pressed and held in the
down position.
When the button is pressed and the Buster detects RF in the above range, it
blinks the LED and generates a short audible “beep” for each RF transmission
detected.
The operation of “busting” an endpoint consists of performing the following:
• Press and hold the button
• Pass the magnet over the endpoint’s reed switch
• Continue to press and hold the button while the Buster blinks/beeps.
• Once the Buster stops blinking/beeping, release the button.
When the endpoint is busted (as shown in Table 2-8), the reed switch closes
causing the endpoint to immediately attempt to read the meter.
