Pairing your Zigbee receiver module with your Zigbee-equipped AMI electric meter for use with the SOLID STATE INSTRUMENTS MPG-3 Metering Pulse Generator involves a few straightforward steps. First, securely mount the Zigbee receiver module into the host slot of the MPG-3. Next, power on the MPG-3. The RED LED on the receiver module will begin flashing every three seconds, signifying that it's searching for the meter. Once communication is initiated with the meter, the RED LED will flash every second, indicating that key establishment is underway. A solid, continuously lit RED LED signals successful pairing. If the RED LED doesn't remain lit, the pairing wasn't successful; troubleshoot before proceeding. Observe the YELLOW and GREEN Comm LEDs on the Zigbee receiver module. The YELLOW LED should illuminate upon startup, and the GREEN LED should blink approximately every 8-9 seconds, indicating receipt of valid transmissions from the meter. If the GREEN Comm LED doesn't blink, consider adjusting the MPG-3's proximity to the meter, removing any metallic obstructions, and ensuring a clear line of sight. Following successful pairing and data reception, the RED (and GREEN in Form C output mode) output LEDs will toggle with each instance the chosen pulse value is met, which shows pulse generation. You can then adjust the pulse output value according to your application’s requirements to control the pulse frequency. If an error occurs due to too many pulses being calculated within a short time, increase the output pulse value to prevent any pulse loss. It's crucial to ensure the communication between the Zigbee receiver module and the meter remains stable for consistent pulse generation and accurate data transmission.
