Troubleshooting No Consumption
OVERVIEW:
For non-advancing meters, the first step would be to do a bucket test. This will test the meter itself for accuracy as well as the pulse output capabilities: Before getting started, verify the status of the transmitter itself, specifically the wiring between the two devices. Make sure there is no damage to the wire and that connection to the transmitter hasn’t been interrupted.
For Bucket Test:
**See meter inaccuracy > Bucket Test (Pulse Ring)**
If the bucket test passes and the meter is producing a pulse, the issue could be the transmitter itself. If this is the suspected cause, you will want to check the transmitter for pulses.
To do this you will need to disconnect the blue/green block in the transmitter itself to expose the pins.
Using something conductive like a paperclip, short out all the pins by bridging them using the conductive material. This will cause a false pulse.
Reset the transmitter connection to the NoWire by pressing the reset button (blue button).
Verify if Transmitter recorded a pulse on the NoWire LED screen.

If this test is performed and the transmitter still doesn’t produce a pulse, the transmitter will need to be replaced.
