AMR Installation
Perform the following steps to install an AMR (automatic meter reading) device, if applicable.
9.1.1
Preparing the AMR Cable
1.
To allow for installation options, the provided AMR cable usually needs to be trimmed to the correct
length.
Determine the length of the cable needed. As shown in Figure 23, at least one (1) loop of extra cable
(slack) is needed.
If the AMR will be wall mounted, verify the cable is long enough to run from the AMR device location
to the meter without tension.
2.
Connect the wires from the AMR cable to the
pulse output connector cable. Gel caps are
commonly used to connect the wires.
Follow the wiring instructions based on your
desired pulse output configuration (refer to
Section 10).
Contact your AMR provider to verify you have
the correct wiring configuration.

9.1.2
Mounting an AMR Device to the Meter
Tip:
Remove the digital index from the meter for easier installation (refer to Section 12.4).
If the AMR device is to be mounted on the meter, perform the following steps:
1.
Align the base AMR mounting bracket over the
holes on the top of the digital index.
2.
Insert the screws into position and turn them until
they touch the cover.
3.
Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of 18 inch
pounds.
