DCU Frequency: 451,237,500 Hz (451.2375 MHz)

Sometimes transponders will send out data without reading information. This sometimes happens for a few days with newly configured Hexagram transponders. If this condition persists for more than a few days, then they should be rewired or reconfigured.

Total: 9 out of 64 (14.06%)

These meters haven't registered any usage in a while, which may mean that either the lot is unoccupied, the residents have moved out temporarily, or the meter chamber is stuck with sand or rust.

A read is considered anomalous when the reading received contains something other than pure numbers (e.g., a reading of "0001?4" is anomalous). This happens occasionally and is often self-correcting. Anomalous reads can occur when a dial is between two digits, or there is a problem with the wiring from the meter to the MTU (possibly caused by rodents chewing on the wiring). If this becomes an ongoing problem, you may want to check the wiring or replace the meter head.

Total: 5 out of 64 (7.81%)

A resident is considered an extreme user if their 1-day usage is 1,000 gallons or more. Depending on the circumstances, these residents should be notified immediately.

A meter is running backwards when the last read shows a higher reading than the current read.

Total: 1 out of 64 (1.56%)

The data collection unit calculates the signal-to-noise ratio of the incoming signals, and the values range from -1 to -150. This value is returned as an RSSi value (i.e., "Received Signal Strength Indicator"). The closer the number is toward zero, the stronger the signal. Any numbers less than -120 are considered weak by the manufacturer. If you experience problems getting the reads from these boxes, the manufacturer recommends either moving the transponder or adjusting the DCU antenna to get a better signal.
