Install Your Sensor Unit

START – Read SAFETY PRECAUTIONS first

IMPORTANT: Turn on a high energy-consuming appliance in your house, such as

your electric stove or dryer. This will temporarily increase your electricity consump-

tion and enable the Sensor Unit to begin reading your meter’s output in less time.

1. Go to your meter, taking the following items with you:

➢

This Guide

➢

1 large Flat Head screwdriver

➢

Sensor Unit

➢

Clear Alignment Template (if you have a Type 4 meter)

➢

Display Unit

➢

Stepping stool or ladder if your utility meter is located

➢

A clean damp cloth higher than eye level

2. Perform the installation steps for your type of meter (which you determined in Step 4).

Type 1, 2 & 3 Meters:

1. After carefully wiping the meter dome clean with the

damp cloth, fit the Sensor Unit over your utility meter

as shown, so that the Sensor Head

sits as close as

possible to the front of the glass dome.

2. With your screwdriver, tighten the hose clamp

until

the Sensor Unit is snug, but can move just enough to

allow for slight adjustments.

3. Position the Sensor Head

TYPE 1 Meters:

Position the Sensor Arm

so that it is inline

with the spinning disk

(use the line on the

Sensor Arm as a reference)

and the Sensor Head

on or near the center of the meter.

4. Press the RESET button and wait 10 seconds. The red STATUS indicator turns on solid.

5. If you positioned the Sensor Head

correctly, the STATUS indicator

starts flashing as indicated below.

If it does not, correct the

positioning slightly.

TYPE 1 - After 15 seconds, the red STATUS indicator turns off and within two minutes,

it starts flashing once per disk revolution. This is an indication that your Sensor Unit is

correctly reading the meter.

TYPES 2 and 3 - After about 15 seconds, the red STATUS indicator starts flashing

regularly, indicating that the Sensor Unit has detected the signal from your meter.

Within 1 minute, in addition to the regular flashing, you should see an extra flash every

now and then, depending on your rate of electricity consumption. These extra flashes

are normal, and indicate that the Sensor Unit is reading the meter’s output correctly.

Note 1: The STATUS indicator stops flashing after 2 minutes, in order to maximize

battery life.

Note 2: If the STATUS indicator does not flash at all and stays lit solid, please read

the Troubleshooting section in your User Guide.

Type 4 Meters:

1. Stand directly in front of your meter, at a height where you can see the optical port.

The optical port itself looks like a small protruding pipe in the center of the top

portion of the meter. Carefully wipe the meter dome clean with the damp cloth.

2. Hold the template with the protruding tab facing you

and the white arrow pointing away from you. Peel off

the adhesive backing.

3. Position the template on the meter so that the

horizontal white line on the template follows the front

edge of the meter dome, and the white arrow points

straight to the optical port.

4. Carefully stick the template to the dome, pressing it in

place on top first, then on the protruding tab down the

front of the dome.

5. Slide the Sensor Unit over the glass dome and

align the edges of the Sensor Unit body with

the white side lines.

6. Tighten the hose clamp

until the Sensor

Unit is snug, but can move just enough to allow

for adjustments.

7. Open the Sensor Arm latch

and sight down

the opening. You see a vertical plastic tab painted

white on the inside of the Sensor body.

8. Sighting through the opening, position the Sensor

Unit so that the white plastic tab on the body is

aligned with the arrow on the template.

9. Press the RESET button and wait 10 seconds.

The red STATUS indicator turns on solid.

10. Keeping the white lines on the body and template

aligned, slowly and gently push or pull on the

Sensor Unit until the red STATUS indicator starts

flashing regularly, indicating that the Sensor Unit

has detected the signal from your meter. Within

1 minute, in addition to the regular flashing, you

should see an extra flash every now and then,

depending on your rate of electricity consump-

tion. These extra flashes are normal, and indicate

that the Sensor Unit is reading the meter’s output

correctly.

Note 1: The STATUS indicator stops flashing after 2 minutes, in order to

maximize battery life. If you have not seen at least one extra flash by then,

please read the Troubleshooting section in your User Guide.

Note 2: If the STATUS indicator doesn’t flash at all and stays lit solid, please

read the Troubleshooting section in your User Guide.

TYPES 2, 3 Meters:

Position the Sensor

Arm

so that the

dark red LED

in the Sensor Head

is located exactly

above the optical port.
