alternative may be to attach the transmitter to the meter itself using double sided tape. If this is the
case, extra care must be taken to keep the transmitter above or on the side of the meter to avoid
condensation or any chance of getting standing water in the housing. Some manufacturers have
optional longer cords or give instructions on how to build longer cords. Double sided tape in certain
environments is not as reliable for adhering to the wall as is using a mounting screw. The transmitter
could easily fall in to a place that prevents the RF from being heard. Adhesives can lose effectiveness
over time, especially in hot environments like water heater closets. If tape is to be used, make sure the
mounting surface is clean and dry.
BEFORE DRILLING, ALWAYS BE CERTAIN YOU CAN DO SO SAFELY AND WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE.
MAKE SURE YOU WILL NOT BE DRILLING INTO WATER PIPES, SEWER PIPES, GAS LINES, ELECTRICAL
WIRES, AND ELECTRICAL BOXES OR THROUGH THE WALL.
NOTE: Some meters are polarity sensitive, meaning there are specific positive and negative terminals.
The wiring must be terminated correctly inside the transmitter. Failure to cable it correctly can cause the
transmitter to be destroyed. If you do not know whether or not the meter you are installing to is
polarity sensitive, contact Submeter Solutions for guidance.
•
Remove the cover from the transmitter. To open the housing, press down on the base tab near
the cabling through hole while lifting away the cover. Properly opening the transmitter housing
will not damage the housing.
CAUTION: Inside the casing are some electronic components that have adjustment screws.
Under no circumstance should you touch these screws. They can only be adjusted at the factory.
•
Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully remove the battery. The mounting hole is behind
it. You may also slide a wire-tie thru the mounting holes.
•
Mount the transmitter in the predetermined safe location using a mounting screw, wire-tie or
some other hardware (as required). If you are mounting this to sheet rock, always use an anchor
so it is secure and will not get pulled down. Make sure the thru-hole is pointing in the desired
direction. One screw is usually sufficient.
•
Reinsert the battery.
•
Press the reset button on the transmitter.
