Change Out Radio MIU Wizard

Use the Change Out Radio MIU Wizard to change out the reading device for a meter, which is often called a radio head, MXU, or MIU.  These items may need upgrading even when the device itself is still perfectly functional.  A reason for the change out and a reference can be included to provide details as to why the change out was made.  The battery install date and the radio MIU will be updated on the device and the connection.  Multiple changeouts can be entered at the same time from this screen.

 

Tip:  Radio MIU change outs can be seen in both the Read History and in the change out history.
