The Field Maintenance Terminal (FMT) is a Windows based application running on a PC or laptop to perform remote diagnostic interrogation and configuration on the UW500 Robust Ultrasonic Water Meter
UW500 Robust Ultrasonic Water Meter Data Collector is an add-on USB device equipped with an 868 MHz RF radio, communicating remotely with the prepaid meters. This allows technicians to do diagnostics while being in radio range of the meter. This is ideal for installations with no direct access.
Automated Meter Reading (AMR) is available on the FMT to remotely collect data from meters by driving past them
in a vehicle. AMR Fields are selectable, so that only the required fields are uploaded. All AMR data can be viewed on FMT or on Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet.
Automated Meter Configuration (AMC) is used to rapidly change meter configuration settings using the same driveby mechanism. FMT reads the Configuration Index of the meter. If a new Revision is available for the meter, new parameters are sent to the meter. All in a split second, while passing the meter.
The FMT is password controlled, with various levels of access. The FMT can access any meter in Read-only mode, to get diagnostic or historical data. To perform configuration changes the FMT is locked only to specific installations.
