About radio frequency (RF) communication
Your meter remote and pump have built-in RF capability. RF is a type of wireless communication.
Cell phones use RF technology, as do many other devices. RF is how your meter remote and pump
communicate and share data.
The RF feature on your meter remote and pump will be deactivated when you first receive them. In
order to begin using your meter remote and pump together as a system, RF must be activated on both
devices and they must be paired (synchronized). Activating RF opens a line of communication on both
devices and pairing ensures communication will take place only between one meter remote and one
pump.
RF communication between your meter remote and pump will work up to a distance of about 10 feet
(3.0 meters) and will transmit through clothing. Direct line of sight is not required for RF communication.
As long as you have a good RF signal and are within range, you can use your meter remote to access
pump functions.
When conditions or distance cause RF communication to be lost or interrupted, you will not be able to
use your meter remote to access pump functions. This also means that data transfer between the two
devices will stop temporarily. As soon as the problem is resolved, RF communication will resume. Any
status records stored in your pump during the RF interruption will then be sent to your meter remote.
Your meter remote and pump are subject to and comply with U.S. Federal regulations, Part 15 of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules regarding devices with RF capability. From these
regulations, the two conditions of operation specific to your device are given in the following FCC
required statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
