PG-100 Sensor Increment Test (using Dataportal Swipe Dashboard)

Use this procedure to confirm that a PG‑100 sensor is generating pulses and that the connected Taggle device is incrementing correctly.

1. Open the Dataportal Swipe Dashboard

1. Log in to the Taggle Dataportal.

2. From the menu, go to:
   Survey → Swipe to open the Swipe Dashboard:

3. Make sure the Swipe Dashboard is visible while you perform the test so you can see the swipe records appear.

2. Perform an initial swipe on the Taggle device

1. At the meter, locate the Taggle device connected to the PG‑100 (e.g. ADC1/SP2A/SP3C/HP3D).

2. Find the correct magnet swipe location for your device here:

3. Using a strong magnet, swipe the Taggle device as shown in the “Where to Swipe” guide.

4. On the Swipe Dashboard:

   • Ensure the correct Customer is selected.

   • Locate the swipe record for your device and confirm the Taggle serial is displayed.

3. Record the starting pulse value

1. In the swipe record, find the Read/Pulse (or pulse counter) value.

2. Write this value down – this is your starting (before) reading.

4. Simulate meter movement on the PG‑100

1. On the PG‑100 sensor:

   • Run the magnet over the PG‑100 probe to simulate the meter register turning.

   • Move the magnet enough times (for example, 10 or more passes) so that several pulses should be generated.

   • Open

     

     Refer to the above PG‑100 video if you’re unsure of the motion.

5. Swipe again and confirm the increment

1. After simulating flow, repeat the magnet swipe on the same Taggle device (same swipe location as in Step 6).

2. On the Dataportal Swipe Dashboard:

   • Find the new swipe record for the same Taggle serial.

   • Check the Read/Pulse value again.

3. Compare the two readings:

   • If the tag is working correctly, the Read/Pulse value will have increased compared to your starting value.
     This confirms the PG‑100 sensor pulses are being counted and the Taggle device is incrementing as expected.

   • If there is no increase in the Read/Pulse value, the sensor, wiring, or device may not be incrementing correctly and may require further investigation or a warranty check.
