]]> Comment on Helpful Tips For “Eyeball Reading” The Neptune ECoder Register by Jim Mimlitz http://scadametrics.com/blog/?p=279&cpage=1#comment-2193 Jim Mimlitz Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:04:20 +0000 http://scadametrics.com/blog/?p=279#comment-2193 Hi Eric,

Neptune’s R900i is a wireless-only water meter register, designed to be read by the utility company only; and thus there is no way for you to collect readings from that meter with any wired data collection device. And to the best of my understanding, the R900i protocol is Neptune-proprietary, so there is no way for you to intercept the wireless signal, either. For all these reasons, it is incompatible with our signal splitter (Radio-Read Filter) and EtherMeter.

You would need to ask the water district to change the register to a combination E-Coder plus external R900 radio endpoint; and then install our Radio-Read Filter and EtherMeter.

That way, both the water district and customer (you) could both collect data without interfering with each other. This is a very popular application configuration among our commercial and industrial clients who wish to monitor their utility consumption while not interfering with the readings collected by the utility companies.

Hope this helps!
