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

Notice: The Psion Workabout has been discontinued by the manufacturer. We will continue to support our customers who have these reading units as long as we are able. RVS Software is currently developing a new line of handheld meter readers to be ready by Summer 2010.

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