Re: Do not go on vacation!

I labeled one of our POPs with a Dymo label maker only to go back a few weeks later and find the writing on the labels had disappeared! I think it was the heat Looking for a different method now.

Chele,

We use the Dymo label maker for our meters. We number each meter for inventory purposes and started using the White plastic labels only to find out that moisture sunlight, and other environmental factors faded the label. I then purchased the metallic label (silver) and it works great. It is actually a metal material and has lasted at least 3 years in direct sunlight in South Texas.

»global.dymo.com/enUS/Products/LetraTag.html is the label maker we have. The metallic label # is 91338.

Like I said, we've used it for a few years now and have had great luck with them. Unfortunately, we labeled about 100 meters with the plastic label that are in the field. If not for the serial number, we'd have a hard time identifying the meter.

Use one of the labels above and you will be happy.



Also, it really helps to have a system drawing and Excel spreadsheet of what goes to where.

Documentation is critical for troubleshooting...and it also helps you to focus on what you are doing when you are building. Don't make the mistake of building it all thinking 'I will document it later'...we all know that NEVER happens. Start your documentation process during your design phase.
