28MiniCom 3Secondary MBus address:The meter ID is a part of the secondary MBus address. If you change it, youchange the secondary address as well.The secondary address consists of 4 parts: meter ID, manufacturer code,version and medium. It should be unique among all meters, so you shouldalways set a different meter ID.The delivery setting of the meter ID is the serial number from themanufacturer.If the Meter ID has been set successfully, it will appear in the Meters window in the "Meter ID" column(when using the secondary address). If the meter has already been read, in the Results window themeter ID will be changed. These changes enable further communication with the meter with its newaddress. To thoroughly check implementation of the change, we recommend running a meter readout.3.4 Set Customer LocationUse this command to set the customer location of the meter.This dialog will appear, if you haven't read the meter before starting this command. If you click on"Start Readout", after reading the meter a dialog with the current parameter value appears. If youchoose "Ignore", a dialog with a default value appears, which doesn't correspond to the real parametervalue.Clicking on "OK" sends the data to the meter (even if you don't make any changes). "Cancel" stopscommunication with the meter.If the command doesn't run successfully, still try to read the meter using "Start Readout". Solutions toproblems during communication with meters can be found under the topic "Solving Problems".© 2006 Sensus Metering System
