REGISTER AND CONFIGURE THE CAPTIS
Applicable to Telstra Digital Water Metering customers only.
Before registering the Captis, you must:
• Connect the Captis device to the water meter
1. Login to the Cumulocity cloud platform using an internet connected device such as a tablet
or mobile phone.
2. Create the Captis device in the Cumulocity system by entering the serial number found on
the label of the device you are installing.
a. Go to the Devices menu. Click Registration then click Register Device.
b. Click General Device Registration.
Figure 6 Registering the Captis overview
Note: The Captis device does not have to be installed in its final location before registration.
If the device’s final location is difficult to reach, you can perform all the registration and some of
the testing before installing it.
Tip: If you have issues with registering your device, contact Telstra at 1800 620 345.

c. Enter the serial number from the label of the Captis.
d. If this device is part of a group, select that group from the drop-down menu.
e. Click Next to register the device.

3. A magnet is provided with the Captis. Place the magnet between the two LEDs on the label
for 3-5 seconds. The device will wake up and attempt to connect to the network.
4. Check the STATUS and CELLULAR LEDs to confirm that the device is powered, and a
network connection has been established. The STATUS LED will flash on and off once. The
CELLULAR LED will flash but should stabilise to a solid orange light within 2 minutes.
If the STATUS LED does not flash, re-try the magnet between the LEDs. If this still does not
work, see Troubleshooting for more suggestions.
If the CELLULAR LED does not stop flashing within 2 minutes, this indicates connection
issues and/or poor signal strength. If an external antenna is used, reposition it to a more open
location away from metal objects. If an internal antenna is used, see if the device can be
mounted in another location.
Hold the magnet between the LEDs once again to wake-up the device and inspect the
CELLULAR LED.
See Troubleshooting for more information if you are still having problems.
Both lights will go out when transmission is completed.

5. Go to the Cumulocity cloud platform and accept the device.
a. Go to the Device Registration Page.
b. Find your device in the list on the Device Registration Page. Its status should be
Pending Acceptance.
c. Click Accept.
6. Wake up the device again, using the magnet between the two LEDs. This will download
credentials from the cloud.
7. On the cloud platform, select your device from the list.
a. Click on the App Menu in the top right hand corner, and then click on Captis.
b. You will see the Captis sub-menu.

Digital In 1
Enable Enable function of the Switch Input. If Cable Cut Detection is
required, this should be left as Enable
Type This is for the Type of the input, either Pulse or Switch. Since the
Metrum is shipped pre-wired, Digital In 1 should be left as Pulse.
Pulse Scale Factor This is the K Factor of the Meter (how many L per Pulse) e.g. 2 Pulse
per L would be 0.5 (in the Pulse Scale Factor) and 5 Pulses per L
would be 5 (in the Pulse Scaling factor.
Pulse Units The unit of measurement that will be Displayed in Cumulocity,
generally this is set to Litres or L
Offset The current meter reading should be entered here
Flash LED This feature allows the Status LED to flash when a Pulse is received
Digital In 2
Enable Enable function of the Switch Input. If Cable Cut Detection is
required, this should be left as Enable
Type This is for the Type of the input, either Pulse or Switch. Since the
Metrum is shipped prewired, Digital In 2 should be left as Switch.
Flash LED This feature allows the Status LED to flash when a Switch is received

9. If Required, an Alarm can be set up if the Pickup Cable has been cut or damaged. Under the
Alarm Tab, there is the ability to set up various alarms.
For the Switch Input:
- Switch should be selected from the Sensor Type
- Sensor Channel is 2
- Setpoint 0 (Open Circuit)

Testing the Captis
The final steps in registering the Captis are to confirm that the sensors are working, and the cellular
signal is adequate.
To test the Captis before you install it, you must:
1. Perform the Connection tests to make sure the sensor is wired correctly, and that the data is
transmitted to Cumulocity.
2. Install the device.
3. Perform the Connection tests again to make sure the final
location has adequate signal for data transmission.
If the installation location of the Captis is easy to reach:
1. Install the device.
2. Perform the Connection tests.
CONNECTION TESTS
Check that the connection between the device and the sensor is functional and that there is adequate
cellular signal for the Captis to work as required.
1. Activate your sensor to create a few recordable events. How you do this will depend on the
sensor.
2. Wake up the Captis using the magnet. The device will then transmit the recorded data to the
cloud platform.
3. Find the device you are testing on the cloud platform. Check that the data has been
transmitted, it is accurate, and no alarms have been recorded.
a. Go to App Menu > Captis.
b. Click on the device you are testing.
c. Select Measurements
If the data has been submitted correctly, the registration and installation are a success. If the data
does not appear, see the Troubleshooting section below.
Note: If the installation location of the Captis is difficult to reach, you can perform the sensor
connection and data transmission tests before you install the device in its final location. This
makes it easier to fix any wiring or connection issues
