Solutions to problems duringcommunication with meters can be found under the topic "Solving Problems".Line of communication:After you select your command, MiniCom 3 will begin to use the serial portand communicate with the meter. During this time the green LED icon in thelower right corner in the Status Bar changes colour to red. Then there is onlymore function in the program, "Abort communication", that can be selected.Communication status is indicated in the Status Bart to the left of thecoloured LED icon.If you are using a registered version of MiniCom 3, you can follow the communication in detail in the"Output window".© 2006 Sensus Metering System
Commands 25Meter parameters:Before selecting a command you must first check communicationparameters of the meter. The meter you select must have its MBus addressand baudrate set correctly (for the communication with just one meter werecommend the common primary address 254). The parameters can bechanged by double clicking on the meter in the "Meters" window, or byclicking the button on the right on your mouse and selecting the command"Meter Parameters", or by choosing from the main commands menu "Tools" /"Meter Parameters".If you don't know the exact meter address, and you are communicating withjust one meter, use the common primary address 254, which every meterreplies to. If you are communicating with more than one meter and you don'tknow their addresses, use the command "Meter scan".Using the common primary addresses (254 und 255):When you send a command for programming or setting the primaryaddresses 254 and 255, all of the connected meters execute this command.You risk accidentally sending a command to all connected meters that wasonly intended for one meter. Don't use the common addresses whencommunicating with more than meter at once.In the case of communication with the meter using the common address 254 where the meter wassuccessfully read, the program automatically exchanges the common address 254 in the meterparameters for the real address. The address change automatically appears in the Meters window.The last read meter address will be saved in the program. Wenn you connect another meter you haveto change the meter address. In the case of one meter to the common address 254.Using the optical interface:When using the optical read head, it is necessary to first ensure that thehead is in the correct position on the meter. The cable should be parallel tothe straight vertical side of the meter, with the LED icons on the head and themeter connecting as on the picture below.Some meters require activation of the optical interface before starting thereadout. The description of each specific meter type tells you how to activatethe optical interface.© 2006 Sensus Metering System
