Sensus antenna (order no.: 04410537)
The rear clip can be used to carry the SIRT on a belt. To
avoid rain entering the electronics use the caps for the
external antenna plug and the USB plug. The SIRT must
be carried so that the plugs are on the bottom. The internal
multi antenna technology allows good radio reception from
each direction. We recommend to turn the SIRT towards an
endpoint if the meter reader shades the radio signal.
The SIRT's internal Lithium Ion battery should be used
according to this instruction and charged with the dedicated
charger to have best capacity for the full battery lifetime.
Avoid opening the housing as it would break the warranty
seals. The SIRT is designed for the environment conditions
specified in this manual.

Short description
SIRT is a radio modem for Sensus Radio connection to
DIAVASO walk-by/drive-by software with following features:
• Receiving of frequently transmitted radio messages
from SensusRF radio endpoints.
• Retrieving additional information from the endpoints
• Changing configuration of radio endpoints
• Reading data logger
SIRT provides 2 internal antennas and forwards radio
messages from the strongest one received (diversity
function)
The SIRT can be connected to a desktop or laptop computer
using USB or Bluetooth .

Pairing via Bluetooth
®
The pairing procedure must be done before using the SIRT
with the computer, tablet or smartphone. A list of already
tested and compatible smartphones and tablets is available
on our website under https://sensus.webdamdb.com/bp/#/
folder/10643421/132129159
Please note that the SIRT is only connected to one device
via Bluetooth®. If in doubt, switch off the SIRT, deactivate
Bluetooth ® on the devices in the vicinity and switch it on only
on the desired device. Switch SIRT on again and connect.

info.gb@xylem.com
For pairing with DIAVASO please follow the instructions on
the DAVASO manual. This SIRT is supported by DIAVASO
from version 22.1.1.
Pairing with desktop or laptop
1. Check the computer for compatibility. At least Windows
10 must be installed.
2. Bluetooth support required (Bluetooth Low Energy -
® ®
integrated or via USB stick).
3. Switch on SIRT.
4. Activate Bluetooth on the computer, e.g. via the
®
Windows Info Center.
5. Download SensusSIRTCom_setup.zip from https://
sensus.webdamdb.com/bp/#/folder/1025781/,
unzip files and execute SensusSIRTCom_
setup.exe (administrator rights required!).
If an error occurs while running SensusSIRTCom_
setup.exe please follow the instructions. In most cases
errors occur only if SensusSIRTCom_setup.exe was
not started with administrator rights.
6. Start application via SensusSIRTCom.exe.
7. Search for a device in the application using the "Search
for devices" button.
8. When the device is found, select the line with the
device number and press the "Connect" button. The
assigned port also appears in the line and the Windows
application can now be used with the SIRT.
9. Alternatively, SIRT can be connected to laptops or
desktop computers via the included USB cable.
Charging battery (general)
Charging process starts only when SIRT is switched on;
yellow LED. To charge the battery use the USB cable (part
of delivery). Before first usage battery is charged around
50% only and SIRT must be charged completely.
Red LED for "Charge" will be switched on, when charging
starts. Charging stops and red LED is switched off
automatically, when battery is full or battery temperature is
above 40 °C or below 0 °C.
Charging via a computer
1. Computer is switched on and OS is started.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer.
3. Required time to charge an empty battery is around 8h
(while SIRT is switched on).
4. Take care that your computer will not be switched off or
enter Sleep Mode.
Charging via a mains power supply (part of delivery)
1. Connect your power supply with mains power
2. Required time to charge an empty battery is around
4h.
Note: The lifetime of a rechargeable battery is usually around
2 years. When the working time of a fully charged battery
is significantly decreased it must be changed. Please do
not open the SIRT housing. Due to safety reasons it is not
allowed to open SIRT housing and to use any other battery.
Send SIRT back to a Sensus store front office and order the
battery change.
Using external antenna/car antenna
1. Screw the aerial on the magnetic foot.
2. Check for a good position of the magnet foot on top of
your car roof.
3. Make sure that the antenna is securely fixed on top of
the roof and connects to the roof's metal only.
4. Keep magnet foot clean and take care your roof's
paintwork will not be damaged.
5. Connect the antenna cable with the aerial and lead it to
the car's interior. Avoid squeezing the cable in the car's
door or window. Cable can be damaged and radio
performance is degraded. Keep cable length outside
the car as short as possible.
6. Be sure SIRT is switched off; yellow LED is off.
7. Connect the antenna cable with SIRT antenna plug 1
Please note that the cable is not mechanically loaded.
To avoid damage, it is recommended to fix the cable
e.g. with adhesive tape.
8. Lead the antenna cable and fix SIRT in the car in a way
it will not distract your attention from driving and traffic.
Use the rear clip to fix the SIRT on the empty front-seat
passenger's safety belt or find another safe position.
9. Enable external antenna usage in DIAVASO
10. Always drive carefully and not faster than 50 km/h or
30 mph and follow any speed limits and regulations.
11. The user is responsible for safe usage of the equipment.
We recommend to stop the car for meter reading, if
necessary, to avoid any driving safety risk. You may
not configure or handle the SIRT while driving.
Note: Before starting communication via the external
antenna, make sure the antenna connections are tight. The
user has to ensure the correct fixing of the external antenna
and is responsible for such. Sensus is not responsible
for any harm caused by an incorrect fixing or operation,
or any other incorrect usage of the external antenna. For
best performance we recommend the use of the antenna
available as an accessory from Sensus. Using other
external antennas are not covered by the radio approval
(see technical data) and can damage the radio. It is not
allowed to connect other devices which are not explicitly
approved by Sensus.
For security reasons the antenna should not be used during
thunderstorm or heavy wind conditions.
The external antenna is only needed when reading from
inside a car which is attenuating the radio waves.
The external antenna is not required when outside, wearing
the SIRT on a belt.
The SIRT can be used with DIAVASO and other dedicated
Software. Further information on request.
