Introduction

The Datamatic MOSAIC Mesh System is an automatic meter reading system designed for reading meter data remotely and wirelessly. This is accomplished using the Datamatic MOSAIC Mesh system that forms a mesh network with neighboring Interface through strategically placed MOSAIC Gateway devices.
MOSAIC FIREFLYs can be deployed using walk-by, mobile, and/or MOSAIC Mesh collection
platforms.
The main benefits of using The Datamatic MOSAIC Mesh system are:
• Real time access to meter reading data
• Built in logging of up to 320 days of hourly consumption data
• Meter lids do not have to be removed for reads
• Meter pits do not have to be dug out or pumped out for reads
• Safer meter reading procedure
• Visiting the site is not necessary for data collection
Please consult the MOSAIC Software Guide for user instructions regarding data access, configuring or upgrading the MOSAIC Mesh FIREFLY System. After reviewing this guide you should be able to successfully deploy the MOSAIC FIREFLYs for your system.

Remote Shutoff Valve

The Remote Shutoff Valve (RSV) is used in conjunction with the MOSAIC FIREFLY (D411X only) to control water service termination, providing utilities with a convenient method to deploy water shut-off service. The FIREFLY can issue commands to the RSV to Open, Close, or report its current status (open or closed).
There are three software/firmware components to the RSV system. These are ROADRUNNER software, radio firmware, and the FIREFLY firmware. To ensure proper functionality of any RSV, the units should be loaded with the minimum software/firmware listed below:
ROADRUNNER CE 3.26.4 Radio firmware 1.3.20 FIREFLY D4110 firmware 1.5.2
• Batteries: lithium battery pack with an output of 3.6V
• Construction: brass plated ball-valve with a non-corroding compound; able to operate at a 150
psi pressure and compliant with AWWA Standard C700-02, section 4.2.9
• Operating Temperature Range: -1 C to +60 C

Installation Considerations

• Signal distance varies depending on the location of the MOSAIC FIREFLY. Those installed
above ground or through plastic lids generally transmit the greatest distance.
• The material of a pit or vault lid greatly affects the transmission range. For example, a
transmitter has a greater range sending from a pit with a plastic lid than a cast iron lid. A
FIREFLY mounted under any type of lid is subject to flooding. Since water impedes RF
transmission it is best to mount through the lid using a Lid Lock.
• Lids with holes of a diameter of roughly 1 ¾ inches make it possible to mount the MOSAIC
FIREFLY through the lid. This can increase transmission range significantly and protect against
loss of signal due to flooded pits. It is not recommended to install FIREFLYs under iron or
metal lids as RF performance is degraded.
• Complete field installation of a MOSAIC FIREFLY takes five to ten minutes, depending on the
meter location and mounting application.
• If the lid has a hole for the unit, use the Lid Lock, Lid Lock adapter, and appropriate washer.
Ensure that enough space exists between the meter box lid and the ground for the MOSAIC
FIREFLY to fit. If not, remove some of the dirt from the bottom of the meter. Do not over-
tighten Lid Locks.
• Some meters may be located in such a manner that they require the addition of repeaters to reach
the mesh.
• Some areas of your service territory may not have the density to warrant the use of the mesh -
your project manager will alert you to these areas where units can be placed into a drive-by
mode.
• Profile data uses more mesh bandwidth and as such can require the use of additional repeaters
and/or Gateways.
• The system requires ongoing maintenance - make sure to have the proper equipment and training
to maintain the system after your installation contractor leaves.
• Do not attempt to repair or trouble-shoot equipment without the proper equipment and training.
