Regulatory Information United States of America, FCC: Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Introduction The D4100 MOSAIC System is an automatic meter reading system designed for reading meter data remotely and wirelessly. This is accomplished using the Datamatic D4100 MOSAIC Meter Interface Unit (MIU) that forms a mesh network with neighboring D4100 MOSAIC MIUs, and reports data to the Home Office (HO) through strategically placed gateway devices.
Equipment D4100 MOSAIC Meter Interface Unit (MIU) The D4100 MOSAIC Meter Interface Unit (MIU) tracks and transmits meter reading data. Each D4100 MOSAIC can be configured to record 72+ days of hourly consumption readings, thereby enabling the resolution of billing disputes. The D4100 MOSAIC signal includes the meter number, meter reading, battery voltage, tamper flag, and a leak indicator. Battery: 3.
D4100 MOSAIC – Wire-end The D4100 MOSAIC for water meters installs in under five minutes on virtually any meter. Wired-end Model D4100 MOSAIC's support all the popular pulse and encoder registers. The D4100 MOSAIC eliminates the need for meter changeout for the purpose of AMR implementation and can save utilities millions of dollars in meters and installation labor. Unique Features: • • • • • • • • Use existing meters. Maintain the freedom to choose meters without the constraints of proprietary AMR system.
Lid Lock If the lid has a hole for the unit, use the cap and wing nut assembly (“lid lock” pictured at right). Ensure that enough space exists between the box lid and the ground for the unit to sit. If not, remove some of the dirt from the bottom of the box. Do not over tighten lid locks. D4100 MOSAIC Lid lock ©Datamatic, Ltd.

Installation Considerations 1. Signal distance varies depending on the location of the D4100 MOSAIC. Those installed above ground generally transmit the greatest distance. 2. The material of a pit or vault lid affects the transmission range. For example, a transmitter has a greater range sending from a pit with a plastic lid than a cast iron lid. 3. Lids with holes of a diameter of roughly 1 3/4 inches make it possible to mount the D4100 MOSAIC through the lid.
Installation Procedures Installation Overview for Water D4100 MOSAICs 1. Perform a site survey to determine where best to install the Gateway devices and where to designate MIU mesh network areas. 2. Configure MIUs before on site installation with the unique mesh word to form a group of selected MIUs into a mesh network. 3. Prepare the meter. 4. Attach the D4100 MOSAIC. 5. Using a mobile gateway, take a reading to verify neighbor MIUs on the mesh. 6.
#3 Pressure – To the Sensor on the Meter NOTE: Since the 3M tape provides a pressure sensitive seal, the installer must apply 15 lbs. of pressure to the D4100 MOSAIC optical sensor immediately after attaching to the lens surface for a minimum of 60 seconds. 1. Very Important: Press the adhesive down for 60+ seconds using 15 lbs of pressure. Allow 24-96 hours to cure. 2. Fasten the cable to the register with a zip tie. 3.
Final Optic Sensor-end D4100 MOSAIC Installation Steps 1. A full cure on the seal is achieved in 24-96 hours. Do not touch, pull, move, or handle the sensor in any way during this period. 2. Mount the D4100 MOSAIC box with the threaded neck pointing up. 3. Mounting can be accomplished by attaching to a wall, stake, or through a hole in the meter box or vault. 4. Typical meter pits will use an 18” long ¾” PVC stake. Push the stake into the ground approx. 6” deep, adjacent to the meter register. 5.
Wire-end D4100 MOSAIC Installation Procedure Refer to Appendix D & E to determine wire the correct connection for the brand and model of meter. #1 Set the Reading Mode • Set D4100 MOSAIC reading mode to Verify Mode. #2 Wire Connections Connect the wires with the D4100 MOSAIC and meter using the schematics below: Schematics: Write in the Wire Color Combinations Below D4100 MOSAIC Meter Schematics: Write in the Wire Color Combinations Below D4100 MOSAIC Meter Connect the wires using UY gel cap connectors.
• Snap the burial pod shut and allow 30 minutes of drying time. Below are examples of approved Burial Pods that can be used with the Wire-end D4100 MOSAIC: 3M Direct Burial Splice Pod UY connector/Burial pod combination Firmware 011 & 0111 Firmware 0106-0109 Below is an illustration of the water pit splice method including the meter and D4100 MOSAIC: Water Pit Splice Method for Direct Register Connections: • • • Strip the wires back 4 inches.
DOW CORNING Mfg. Model #: 4 Distributor: Grainger - Grainger item #: 6Y765 Unit of Measure: 5.3 oz. Tube Basement Splice: • • • • • • Connect D4100 MOSAIC wires to register cable wires using the UY connectors. Space the connections out so that the Mastic pad will cover the entire connection. The 3M Scotch Vinyl Mastic Pad can be cut so that one pad covers 2-3 installations depending on number of wires needed and type of connectors used. Be sure there is enough pad to completely cover the connections.
Logical Switch D4100 MOSAIC Installation Procedure The D4100 MOSAIC Logical Switch MUST be handled with care at all times. A drop or shock of any kind could affect the performance of the Logical Switch. The Logical Switch is compatible with D4100 MOSAIC. #1 Set the Reading Mode • Set D4100 MOSAIC reading mode to Verify Mode. #2 Clean the Register Clean the register with a rag to make sure there is no mud or dirt that would get caught between the collar and glass.
