MOUNTING POSITION -
The PRT-16 Base unit may be mounted in any position.
POWER INPUT -
For 120VAC, connect the "hot" lead to the
L1
power supply terminal. Connect the neutral lead
to the
NEU
terminal. For a power supply voltage between 208 and 277 VAC, connect the "hot" lead to the
L2
power supply terminal and the neutral lead to the
NEU
terminal. Use EITHER L1 or L2 for the appropriate
voltage input but not both. Connect the
GND
terminal to Ground.
METER CONNECTIONS -
Form A (2W) mode: Connect the PRT-12's "K" and "Y
1
" input terminals to meter's
"K" and "Y" terminals. The "Yx" input terminals are "pulled-up" to +13VDC power supply, making it compatible
with open-collector transistor meter outputs, as well as all non-polarized mechanical or solid state pulse outputs.
Form C (3W) mode: Connect the PRT-16's "K", the "Y
1
" and the "Z
1
" input terminals to the meter's "K", "Y" and
"Z" terminals. The PRT-16's "K" terminal is the system common (return).

INPUT CONFIGURATION -
The PRT-16 accepts either 2 Form "C" (3-Wire) inputs using the K, Y & Z input
terminals, or 4 Form "A" (2-Wire) inputs using the K & Y and K & Z terminals. See Dip Switch Definitions and
Settings.

OUTPUT TO PRNT-1600 TRANSMITTER/ANTENNA UNIT -
Connect the 8-conductor (4-TWISTED PAIRS)
24AWG(min) shielded control cable to the PRNT-1600 Transmitter/Antenna Unit. For best results, it is advisable
to keep this length of this cable to the minimum practical distance.
