Route Transfer Software
About RTSplusTM
RTSplusTM software was designed to provide you with a low-cost, easy to use Automated Meter Reading (AMR) solution.  RTSplusTM works in conjunction with the MREplusTM software on the TDS Nomad PDA or the Psion Workabout handheld.  If your utility system has “Touch Read” technology installed with your meters, you can attach a Metre ProbeTM Universal Reader Gun from Metre ProTM Technologies, Inc. for complete electronic transfer of your readings from meter to bill!  With the Memory Option you can read up to 1,000 meters readings without a handheld and export those readings directly into RTSplusTM!  Find out more about the Metre ProbeTM at www.metrepro.com.

Works with Your Current UB Software
The RTSplusTM software works with your current utility billing software by allowing you to “map” the reading file exported from your billing system into the format the MREplusTM software in your handheld uses. Once you have mapped the reading file from your billing system, RTSplusTM remembers the map allowing you to load and unload your readings without re-mapping each reading cycle.

Powerful Reporting Feature
RTSplusTM includes a very useful, feature-rich report menu which includes:

  • Meter Reading Detail — Provides a “Proof List” of the meter reading file imported from the billing software.

  • Exception Report — Special report providing supervisors a list of all services the meter reader viewed the “More Screen” on. This allows supervisors to curb “shade tree reading”

  • Read, and Unread Meters Report — Lists all meters with readings on the Read Meters Report. Lists all meters without readings on the Unread Meters Report.

  • Comment Code and Extended Comment Report — Lists all Comment Codes and Extended Comments entered by the meter reader or passed from the billing system to the Psion handheld.

  • Found Meters Report — Lists all meters the meter reader entered as “Found Meters” in the Psion handheld. The report includes Customer and Location information.

  • Module Id Exception Report — Lists all Meters whose Touch Read Module Id’s were read out of sequence or were not found in the meter file.
