Chapter 3 • Troubleshooting

Distribution Control Systems, Inc. has developed various software and hardware 

products for testing TWACS-enabled devices in the field and the meter shop. See 

Meter Shop Test System on page 64 of this chapter for information regarding use of 

this system.

The EMTR-3 has no field serviceable parts. It can only install, delete, or query 

installed ORION transmitters.

When necessary, the HHTR can be used to - 

• Install the Orion transmitter 

The HHTR can not communicate with the Orion transmitter.

• Query the EMTR for a remote installed list

• Delete Orion from the EMTR installed list

• Check EMTR status (Hardware & Firmware version)

A remote list query by the HHTR gives port-specific information for each installed 

Orion transmitter as follows:

• Serial Number & Service Type

• Acquisition Failures

• 24 Hr. Acq Log

• Orion Status

Present Total Consumption (not current total consumption, but rather last 

RF communication total consumption, usually < 1 hr. old)

Leak Detect (tripped by water meter, will reset on its own, or can be 

manually reset in the field; see the meter manufacturer documentation for 

trip and reset conditions)

Tamper Detect (must be field reset at water meter)

If there is a problem, the applicable error code is displayed.
