Page 4: Product Description
2. Product description DAVE II is a compact system designed to collect readings from meters with impulse output. The system is comprised of one main controller integrated 4 impulse converters and 4 analog con- verter with the possibility of connecting other several three-channel pulse converters. The con- troller is connected to the pulse converters by a two-wire RS485 bus. -

3. System configuration The device can be completely configured via a web browser (Firefox, Chrome etc.). The address (URL) in the browser should be set to the IP address of the device. Initially, the main screen appears: After clicking “System configuration”, login is required (only users with administrative privileges will be granted access, see Section 3.1): default admin login: login: admin... - Page 6 The System tab is used for configuring basic system settings. Hostname (1) - identification name of the device (starts with a letter, may only contains lower- and uppercase letters or digits) Support VPN connection (2)- Allows to enable/disable a VPN connection. If enabled, a techni - cian can access the device remotely.

Page 13: Application Setup
4. Configuration setup The Configuration setup allows to configure converters and related parameters. A Dave II module integrates 4 impulse converters (PDImp; used with meters with impulse output) and 4 analog converters (PDLoop; used with meters with 4 to 20 mA current loop output). It is possible to con- nect additional external PDImp and PDLoop converters over an RS-485 bus. -

Consumption readout: Last good consumption readout: the last value of consumption with good quality Description: Number of decimal places to display [0 - 20]: 4.1.2 Adding a plot of measured values to a PDImp channel The collected meter readings can be represented graphically. There are two types of plots to choose from: consumption plot and current value plot. - Page 17 Fill in the description of the plot and the number of decimal places to display. For a current value plot, you also have to fill in the engineering unit and the corresponding conversion factor. If unsure about this, click “Help” Let the engineering unit for consumption be cubic meter [m3].
