FLEXIBLE DATA ENTRY: When used with a SensusTouchRead AutoGun, the HHD automates the reading process. Reading data from Sensus and compatible absolute encoder equipped meters is obtained and stored in the HHD. Manual entries can also be made using the keypad, which features elastomeric, tactile response keys. Preprogrammed "high" and "low" range imits, calculated and passed from the utility billing software, can be sent to alert the user of possible reading errors. In addition, the Model AR 5502 provides expanded features for reading and programming Sensus RadioRead MXUs. CORDLESS AUTOGUN: Used in conjunction with the AutoRead HHD, the cordless AutoGun provides the ability to perform TouchRead readings without the need for cables from the AutoGun to the AutoRead HHD. Information is stored in the AutoRead HHD through a bi- directional, low -power RF link. AUTOMATIC, ERROR -FREE DATA COLLECTION: When used with aTouchRead AutoGun, the HHD collects and stores readings automatically from Sensus or compatible absolute encoders. Regardless of the route sequence programmed into memory, the HHD software identifies each meter encoder using the encoder's internal identification number.The software then searches the route program and automatically stores the meter reading in the correct customer account. When the utility's meter readers hear an audible alert tone from the HHD, it is alerting them to a special condition or hazard.They need only refer to instructions on the HHD screen on how to proceed. This process eliminates errors and increases meter reading speed. AUDIBLE VERIFICATION /WARNING: The audible tone confirms completed TouchRead and RadioRead System readings or alerts the user to faulty or out -of -limit readings.Tones can also be programmed with notes to alert the meter reader to hazardous situations or to respond to field survey questions.
