Why do I get a busy notification on the meter and my reading are wrong at the end of test When testing a GE I-210 meter.



When testing a GE I-210 meter I get a busy on the meter and my reading are wrong at the end of test.

Description of the problem :

The GE I-210 equipped with AMI modules will transmit every 60 seconds and will create false pulse during the test.

Solution :

In the configuration menu, go the General edition and shorten the duration of test to 10 seconds, this will allow you to test the meter in between the transition of those pulses. Start the test as soon as the Busy signal flashes on the meter.
