OVERVIEW
ONICON Turbine Flow Meters ordered with the Bluetooth®feature can wirelessly
transmit real-time meter data directly to a PC.
Ensure that the PC is running Version 1.2.5 or later of the Conguration Utility. The
Conguration Utility is designed to operate with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8,
or Windows 10 operating systems. The utility is available for download from ONICON’s
website at https://www.onicon.com/downloads/networking-information/.
BLUETOOTH®CONNECTION
Open the Turbine Meter Conguration Utility by double-clicking the icon on
the PC desktop or the .msi le located in the folder the program was installed
in earlier. Select “Bluetooth” in the upper right corner of the main window.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT connect the meter for at least 3 minutes if the meter has been power cycled.
A new BluetoothConnect window will appear and remain open as long as the
utility is connected via Bluetooth.
Once the scanning process is complete, a list of supported turbine meters will
appear along with their name and address. If no Bluetooth supported meters
are detected, you will receive this warning: “No BLE devices were found”. Wait
for at least 15 seconds before attempting to rescan. If the meter is not detected
see page 4, Troubleshooting Note.
PAIRING THE METER
After scanning is complete, all Bluetooth supported meters will be listed as
shown. Select the meter you wish to pair and click “Connect”.
