3. The installation and conﬁguration are complete

7 Before ﬁeld deployment

Before ﬁeld deployment, make sure that your READy Manager system is prepared for collecting data from encoded meters via

READy MTU by following the steps in this section.

7.1 Import READy MTU from Kamstrup Encryption Key Service

READy MTU is automatically imported into READy Manager if you are logged in with your My Kamstrup account and the Import

new devices checkbox is ticked.

If not logged in, you can import READy MTUs directly from Kamstrup Encryption Key Service found in My Kamstrup.

Click the Import devices button on the start-up page of READy Manager.

More information can be found in the READy Manager guide under Automatically importing information for new devices or

Manually importing information for new devices.

7.2 Import non-Kamstrup meters and customer information in READy Manager

Kamstrup recommends that you import the ID/serial number that is sent on the encoded output as the meter

serial number in READy Manager. If not, you are required to overwrite the serial number of the encoded output

with the serial number imported in READy Manager for your speciﬁc device.

Import non-Kamstrup meters and customer information in READy Manager by selecting Import customers on the start-up

page of READy Manager.

More information on CIS import can be found in the READy Manager guide under Automatically importing customer data or

Manually importing customer data.

READy MTU

7.3 Create a group of non-Kamstrup meters for READy MTU installation

It is recommended to create a group of non-Kamstrup meters that will be retroﬁtted with READy MTU that can be synced with

READy App.

Create a group:

1. Select the Meters view in READy Manager.

2. Select New group. Name the group.

3. Select the meters that are to be part of the group and add the meters to the group.

Find more information in the READy Manager guide under Organizing meters in reading groups.

7.4 MTU modes and LED blinking scheme

7.4.1 MTU modes

7.4.1.1 Transport mode

When you receive READy MTU, the device is in transport mode. In transport mode, the radio is deactivated. The magnet sensor

for activating the MTU is active.

By inﬂuencing the magnet sensor for 3 seconds, the LED on the front of READy MTU turns on. The MTU checks if a meter is

connected on the encoded interface before turning on the radio. If no meter is connected, READy MTU remains in transport

mode.

Remember to enable transport mode when decommissioning READy MTU. See section 9.6 Decommissioning.

7.4.1.2 Installation mode

After activation, READy MTU starts up in installation mode. The LED turns on and a connection beacon is sent out every 4

seconds.

Installation mode is active for 5 minutes after activation.

After the installation mode period has ended, READy MTU enters normal mode.

When operating in normal mode, installation mode can be triggered by holding the magnet to the front of READy MTU. This will

also reactivate the LED.

7.4.1.3 Operation mode

In operation mode, READy MTU can at all times be accessed via READy App. A connection beacon is sent every 30 seconds

during normal operation. The LED is not active in normal mode.

7.4.2 LED blinking scheme

1 time every 5 seconds Everything is OK.

READy MTU is reading the encoded output and sending data

via AMI.

3 times every 5 seconds Something is wrong.

READy MTU is not reading the encoded output or sending

data via AMI.
