Meter Operation

Work Orders and Job Numbers

When the meters were programmed by the System Administrator, one of the two Work Order processing methods below was selected.

Work Order/Job Number at the PC only

Work Order/Job Number at the PC and Meter

Work Orders are a maximum of (12) characters and the Job Number is a maximum of (3) characters. The Work Order number is separated from the Job Number with a dash (-).

The characters A-Z, 0-9, dash (-); forward slash (/), period (.), or space can be used when assigning a Work Order or Job Number. One Work Order can have more than one service using an extension in the order number (i.e., 123456.oil, 123456.atf). The meter can receive up to five (5) work orders at a time. See FIG. 14.

Assigning Work Orders and Job Numbers from the PC

Work Orders and Job Numbers are assigned to a meter from the PC using the “Entering Work Orders” button in the software. This feature is password protected.

2.Click on the Add Work Order box. Select meter from the pull down screen. Type in a Work Order (up to 12 characters). Tab or mouse click to the Job Number box and enter the Job Number (up to 3 characters) if desired, then click Send.

If the Work Order is not received by the meter, a pop-up box appears indicating that the Work Order could not be sent to the assigned meter. You then can click Retry or Cancel.
