For utility systems that are not ready for automated meter reading systems such as touch-read, radio-read or relay-read meter configuration, CCS now has an application for use on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 tablets or notebook computers. This application provides a means whereby new meter readings can be keyed in at the meter site with a warning about any new reading that is outside of the expected range. This warning feature will help to prevent the need for re-reads. This application also eliminates the need for keying in new meter readings in the billing office since the readings keyed in at the meter sites can be imported from the tablet or notebook computer into EasyBill32 on the office computer.
