In handheld AMR, a meter reader carries a handheld computer with a built-in or attached receiver/transceiver to collect meter readings from an AMR capable meter. The water meter is continuously collecting information, but its data is not transmitted until a signal is sent to the meter from a handheld device. This transmitting occurs quarterly when the District performs its meter reading.

The District has employed a two-way or “wake up” system, where the radio signal is sent to the AMR meter’s unique serial number, instructing its transceiver to power-up and transmit its data. The utility saves money by increased speed of reading, safer reading methods, and has fewer missed readings from being unable to access the meter. Radio Frequency (RF) based meter reading usually eliminates the need for the meter reader to enter the property or facility, or to locate and open an under-ground meter pit. Our meter readers and billing personnel handle a large volume of data and entering that data manually increases the chance for human error. This data is collected by a handheld device which is transferred to a database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. Automatic meter reading, or AMR, is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from the water meter.
