Chapter 4 

Every device is programmed with a four-byte unique identification (UID) 
number. The UID is sent with every message, indicating the device which 
transmitted it. The UID is made up of a one-byte market identification (MID) 
number and a three-byte serial number. The bar code label on each printed 
circuit board includes the eight digit serial number. For example the bar code 
label “00991240-2028B-1” begins with the eight-digit serial number: 
00991240. Converting this number to hexadecimal yields: 0F 20 08. Preceding 
this serial number with the MID (A0), the MID for submetering devices, for 
example) gives the UID: A0 0F 20 08, and will appear in every RF message 
sent by the device.

The purpose of registration is to associate the unique ID in the wireless device 
with specific application functionality, such a descriptive name, the location 
and point supervision. It is recommended that all wireless transmitters, 
transceivers and repeaters be registered. To ensure wireless devices are 
registered only when intended, the application controller should have a 
specific registration mode.

 1. The application controller is placed in registration mode, ready to associate 

the device’s UID with application functionality.

 2. The application controller prompts the end user to enter application specific 

information and send a registration message from the device.
