RVS Handheld Information


Why Use a Handheld Reader?

A handheld meter reader is a great way for any utility to avoid having to key in readings from a reading sheet. The meter reader simply keys them in as they are read. A hand held reader can also prevent erroneous re-reads by double checking the meter reading in the field.

Workabout Handheld Meter Reader and Probe

RVS currently offers the Psion Workabout Handheld Reader with our custom route managment software. We offer full support for the Psion handheld, which is included in our unlimited toll-free technical support. We also offer a universal probe that will interface directly with the Workabout. The probe will read most meter manufacturers touch read meters for even faster, and more accurate reading.
