ARMS remote user's manual
Abstract
This manual explains the operation of the Automatic Revenue Metering System Remote Prototype, commonly called the ARMS Remote or simply Remote. The ARMS Remote interfaces existing power meters to an automated revenue metering system. The Remote is contained in a single 24-in. (610-mm) rack-mounted panel. It consists of power supplies, a processor module, input/output (I/O) modules, a timing module, a tape cartridge recorder, a keypad, a 16-character alphanumeric display, status display lights, telemetry interface and tone equipment, a series of system test points, and I/O connectors to attach the Remote to the environment that it will monitor. This report discusses normal operation of the ARMS Remote from the user's viewpoint and describes all the steps required for successful use of the system. Since no ARMS Master Station exists at this time, all Master Station functions will be performed locally via Teletype or Remote keypad. However, for understanding of the complete ARMS Remote/Master Station concept, Master Station functions are identified where possible. Information is included for the use of the local Teletype and keypad for Master Station actions.
