EN1501 Pulse Meter Transmitter and
EN1501-XL Pulse Meter Transmitter with
Extended Life
Installation and Operation Manual
1 Overview
Connected to pulse-output meters being used for multi-family submetering,
the EN1501 pulse meter transmitter and EN1501-XL pulse meter
transmitter with extended life will transmit data to an RF receiver that is
connected to a Data Concentrator and Communicator (DCC-5800). The
EN1501 includes a replaceable battery; the EN1501-XL includes a long-life
battery that is not replaceable.

2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
security technicians.
• Products are tested for indoor use.
• All products should be manually tested weekly.
2.2 Input Requirements
The EN1501 and EN1501-XL require the following input specifications for
compatibility:
• A dry contact such as a reed switch is required.
• The pulse width of a switch output when it is activated must be greater
than or equal to 10ms.
• The fastest pulse rate must be one pulse every four seconds.
• Closed impedance of the pulser mechanism must be smaller than 1k
ohm.
• Open impedance of the pulser mechanism must be greater than five
megohms.
2.3 Connect Transmitter to Meter
Connect the transmitter to the meter as follows:
1.
Open the housing by pressing down on the base tab near the wiring
through-hole while lifting away the cover.
2.
Fully insert stripped wires into the removable header terminal.
3.
Use a small Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure wires
to the removable header terminal.
4.
Attach removable header terminal (if removed) to the transmitter board
as shown.
Note:
If connecting to a meter that has polarity to its pulse output, the
negative (–) should be connected to the outside terminal, closest to the
corner of the board.

2.4 Mount the Transmitter
5.
Use the double-sided tape to mount the transmitter to a clean wall.
6.
As desired, secure the transmitter to the wall with the mounting screw
and anchor.
Note:
To secure the EN1501, you will need to remove the battery to access
the mounting screw hole. Make sure to press the reset button after
replacing the battery to initialize the transmitter.
Note:
Ensure cabling enters the housing through the access wiring thru-
hole, and replace the housing (Figure 2).
