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.

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.
