About the
AR5000
The AR5000 is the latest hand-held data collection device
from Sensus Metering Systems. This system provides a wide
range of options for collecting information and simplifies
many of the functions associated with reading utility meters.
Use the information in this document as a reference for the
basic features and setup options available in the AR5000.
You use the AR5000 series hand-held device to collect
readings from utility meters. Readings take place along
predefined routes. The device allows you to select a route
and enter readings using several methods. Both the AR5001
and AR5002 model versions provide the same basic set of
features, including the ability to enter meter reading data
manually or with the Sensus TouchRead system. The AR5002
model has the added capability of reading Sensus RadioRead
equipped meters.
Both devices also allow you to enter notes about locations,
mark locations to follow up later, and manage situations
where the information in the device doesn’t match the
locations on the route. You can also search through routes
and readings, check that the route is complete, and obtain
other statistics.
