The characteristics of four fields affect high / low testing: the Meter Reading field, High
Reading Limit, Low Reading Limit, and Number of Dials fields.

Before continuing, review the definition of a meter reading field.
Meter Readings Review
The four-digit meters transmit the four most significant digits on the odometer to the
handheld. If the meter odometer has a reading of:
the handheld receives 1234.
The six-digit meters transmit all six indexing digits on the odometer to the handheld. For
example, if the meter odometer has a reading of:
the handheld receives 123455. The last digit of a six-digit meter displays a
five or a zero.
In addition, remember that the utility can program ProRead registers to transmit between
three and six digits in a meter reading program.
The meter transmits leading zeros in ARB readings, which the handheld receives. If the
Read Direction is L or R, the number of digits in the Hi/Lo fields must match the number of
digits in the reading. If the Read Direction is C, then leading zeros in the accompanying High
Limit and Low Limit fields can be omitted, but the Number of Dials field must contain the
correct quantity of digits that are expected to be received by the handheld.
Manual Meter Review
For manually-entered meter readings, the Meter Reading field can contain from one to 10
digits entered by the meter reader.
If the meter odometer reads 001234, the meter reader (depending on the value in the
Number of Dials field and the utility instructions) can enter any of these valid reads:
l 001234 – 1
l 00123 – 12
l 0012 – 123
l 001 –234
