Enter RadioRead Readings (AR5002
only)
The Sensus RadioRead System allows you to collect meter
data without manually typing information on the keypad. In
this system, a radio transmitter sends meter data directly to
the AR5002.
The AR5002 version of the system is equipped with a radio
receiver. This enables the unit to read data from utility
meters equipped with a radio transmitter. If there are no
obstructions between the AR5002 and the meter and there is
no radio interference in the area, the system can perform a
RadioRead on meters up to ___???___ feet away.
