Commission

Use the Commission command on Intelis Gas OW Riva Meters to turn on the ultrasonic measurement unit (UMU) so that the device starts measuring gas. When the meter is in mobile mode, it can only be commissioned when it is in Command Secure and Full Security.

The device must be in the sealed state in order to perform commission or decommission. If the endpoint is in an unsealed state, an error pop up is shown with message:

Can't commission Intelis OW Riva in unsealed state.

Note:  Intelis 250 and 425 Gas Meters are shown as "OW Riva Intelis 250/425 Gas Meter" in the FDM Tools user interface.

Click OK to terminate the operation and navigate to the test mode operations page.

Important!  The commission and decommission commands do not connect or disconnect the valve.

Commissioning performs the following actions:

  • Logs a commission event in the event log.

  • Saves the current valve state (connected/disconnected) in the UMU.

  • Powers on the UMU into its normal operational mode.

  • Enables some tampers/logs/automatic actions that were disabled while the index was not on a meter.​

  • Retrieves the valve state bit from the UMU that stored the last known state of the valve and to true up the COSEM object state with that bit.

To ensure that the meter has been successfully commissioned, go to Check Endpoint. The Commissioned field displays Yes.
