REGISTER AND CONFIGURE THE CAPTIS

Before registering the Captis, you must:

• Connect the Captis device to the water meter

1. Login to the Cumulocity cloud platform using an internet connected device such as a tablet or mobile phone.

2. Create the Captis device in the Cumulocity system by entering the serial number found on the label of the device you are installing.

a. Go to the Devices menu. Click Registration then click Register Device. b. Click General Device Registration.

Figure 6 Registering the Captis overview

Note: The Captis device does not have to be installed in its final location before registration. If the device’s final location is difficult to reach, you can perform all the registration and some of the testing before installing it.


9 Rev 2.0

c. Enter the serial number from the label of the Captis.

d. If this device is part of a group, select that group from the drop-down menu. e. Click Next to register the device.

3. A magnet is provided with the Captis. Place the magnet between the two LEDs on the label

for 3-5 seconds. The device will wake up and attempt to connect to the network.

4. Check the STATUS and CELLULAR LEDs to confirm that the device is powered, and a network connection has been established. The STATUS LED will flash on and off once. The CELLULAR LED will flash but should stabilise to a solid orange light within 2 minutes.

If the STATUS LED does not flash, re-try the magnet between the LEDs. If this still does not work, see Troubleshooting for more suggestions.

If the CELLULAR LED does not stop flashing within 2 minutes, this indicates connection issues and/or poor signal strength. If an external antenna is used, reposition it to a more open location away from metal objects. If an internal antenna is used, see if the device can be mounted in another location.

Hold the magnet between the LEDs once again to wake-up the device and inspect the CELLULAR LED.

See Troubleshooting for more information if you are still having problems.

Both lights will go out when transmission is completed.

5. Go to the Cumulocity cloud platform and accept the device. a. Go to the Device Registration Page. b. Find your device in the list on the Device Registration Page. Its status should be

Pending Acceptance.

c. Click Accept.

6. Wake up the device again, using the magnet between the two LEDs. This will download credentials from the cloud.

7. On the cloud platform, select your device from the list. a. Click on the App Menu in the top right hand corner, and then click on Captis.

b. You will see the Captis sub-menu.

Digital In 1

Enable Enable function of the Switch Input. If Cable Cut Detection is required, this should be left as Enable

Type This is for the Type of the input, either Pulse or Switch. Since the Metrum is shipped pre wired, Digital In 1 should be left as Pulse.

Pulse Scale Factor This is the K Factor of the Meter (how many L per Pulse) e.g. 2 Pulse per L would be 0.5 (in the Pulse Scale Factor) and 5 Pulses per L would be 5 (in the Pulse Scaling factor.

Pulse Units The unit of measurement that will be Displayed in Cumulocity, generally this is set to Litres or L

Offset The current meter reading should be entered here

Flash LED This feature allows the Status LED to flash when a Pulse is received

Digital In 2

Enable Enable function of the Switch Input. If Cable Cut Detection is required, this should be left as Enable

Type This is for the Type of the input, either Pulse or Switch. Since the Metrum is shipped prewired, Digital In 2 should be left as Switch.

Flash LED This feature allows the Status LED to flash when a Switch is received

9. If Required, an Alarm can be set up if the Pickup Cable has been cut or damaged. Under the

Alarm Tab, there is the ability to set up various alarms.

For the Switch Input:

- Switch should be selected from the Sensor Type - Sensor Channel is 2 - Setpoint 0 (Open Circuit) - Hysteresis of 0 - Trigger set to Equal To

Testing the Captis

The final steps in registering the Captis are to confirm that the sensors are working, and the cellular signal is adequate.

To test the Captis before you install it, you must:

1. Perform the Connection tests to make sure the sensor is wired correctly, and that the data is transmitted to Cumulocity.

2. Install the device. 3. Perform the Connection tests again to make sure the final

location has adequate signal for data transmission.

If the installation location of the Captis is easy to reach:

1. Install the device. 2. Perform the Connection tests.

CONNECTION TESTS

Check that the connection between the device and the sensor is functional and that there is adequate cellular signal for the Captis to work as required.

1. Activate your sensor to create a few recordable events. How you do this will depend on the sensor.

2. Wake up the Captis using the magnet. The device will then transmit the recorded data to the cloud platform.

3. Find the device you are testing on the cloud platform. Check that the data has been transmitted, it is accurate, and no alarms have been recorded.

a. Go to App Menu > Captis. b. Click on the device you are testing. c. Select Measurements

If the data has been submitted correctly, the registration and installation are a success. If the data does not appear, see the Troubleshooting section below.

Note: If the installation location of the Captis is difficult to reach, you can perform the sensor connection and data transmission tests before you install the device in its final location. This makes it easier to fix any wiring or connection issues

Connection wired incorrectly

Confirm that the Itron TD8 Cyble Sensor is properly attached to the Itron TD8

Contact support if issue persists

Sensor readings not uploading to/ appearing in Cumulocity

Sensor not triggering

Ensure the sensor can be triggered by checking that the Itron TD8 Cyble Sensor is securely installed in the meter.


No cellular signal

Check Status and Cellular LED.

If flashing, complete troubleshooting for a flashing Cellular LED.
