GPS Location Considerations
Each Device contains a cellular
modem and GPS locator. Some
obstacles can interfere with the
signals required for each of these
to operate properly. Confirmation
of cellular signal can be obtained
with a standard cell phone. If GPS
is unavailable, the location of the
Device can be entered manually
into the software. Address or
GPS coordinates should be noted
upon installation. To obtain GPS
coordinates (longitude and latitude
coordinates), it is recommended that
you utilize a GPS location APP or
website. Enter the nearest physical
street address to the site where the
Device will be located into a GPS
coordinate APP or website to obtain
the GPS coordinates. Upon obtaining
the information, enter the longitude
and latitude coordinates into the
Device Management website. Log
Each Remote Pressure Monitoring
System, consists of an RTU and
Sensor, (here-by known as Device).
Prior to the installation of the Device,
strategic installation points should be
identified. Confirmation of a cellular
signal (Verizon or AT&T) is available
at the identified site. Contact Mueller
Co. for additional support if required.
When installing the Remote Pres-
sure Monitoring System with a valve
box into the distribution network,
identify the OD and type of pipe as
well as the depth requirement prior
to ordering. Mueller Co. can assist
in verifying that the proper saddle
and valve box can be supplied.
The Remote Pressure Monitoring
System lid-mounted antenna shall
be installed no more than six (6)
inches below-grade to ensure the
cellular communication signal is not
impeded.
into account and open the Device
which is to be mapped. Select “Edit”
and enter longitude and latitude
coordinates in the appropriate fields.
Shipping
The Remote Pressure Monitoring
System is powered by a series
of lithium batteries. Specific and
approved shipping procedures must
be observed. The Remote Pressure
Monitoring System may be shipped
with or without a valve box and
ancillary items depending on the
customer’s desired installation. In
the event of the unit being returned
for service, contact Mueller Co.
Customer Service for approved
shipping and handling information.
NOTE: The RTU can only be
shipped via ground transportation
and must be properly labeled
to identify presence of lithium
batteries. Contact Mueller Co. at
877.864.8500 before shipping.
General
Installation in a Valve Box
1. Remove the Remote Pressure
Monitor from its packaging and
inspect for possible damage during
shipping.
2. Once service saddle installation
is complete, install guide plate
(P/N: 147506P) over the service
saddle and apply suitable sealant
or joint tape to the inlet side of the
corporation valve before installing
into the saddle. Thread the
corporation valve into the service
saddle as shown (see page 3). The
guide plate will center the valve box
bell end over the service saddle and
corporation valve.
NOTE: Before drilling, ensure
guide plate is in between the
service saddle and corporation
valve (see page 3).
