  3. Connect to the device via RS485 (see picture 1)
  4. Connect the power supply

USE PROCEDURE WITH UCS SOFTWARE

Download UCS software
Download UCS software from
www.productselection.net/Download/UK/ucs.zip
Configure WPA

  1. Connect the USB (see picture 2)
  2. Start the UCS software
  3. Connect to UWPA from Connections
  4. Access Settings
  5. Follow the wizard
  6. If needed, enable the password in order to protect the configuration writing/reading.

Notes: it is also possible to create a configuration and to download it to UWPA later.
Even if UWPA is not powered, it is still possible to carry out the configuration without the connected meter auto-scan.
NOTICE: If the reset to factory default option is password protected and you forget the password, it is necessary to send the device to the support service.

Configure the meter connected to UWPA

  1. Connect the USB
  2. Start the UCS software
