MT2W™ General Description
The MT2W™ is a 2W output power and
-117DBm sensitivity long-range,
synthesized radio-metering transceiver for
narrow band wireless networks in the
VHF 136-174 MHZ frequency band.
At a preprogrammed interval (default is
every hour) the MT2W interrogates the
register to obtain the most recent read,
and transmits the data to the central
receiver.
Unit parameters and meters values are
easily programmed using the GUP5000™
utility-programming software (see the
MT2W ™ Programming Guide) or by the
FTU.
The MT2W™ has one connector (see
Figure 1).
1. Meter Input: The meter input is
either a single three-wire or double
three-wire cable, depending on factory
configuration. These wires connect to
the meter output.

Preparing for Operation
Before installing the MT2W on site,
perform the following preparations:
1. Setting communication parameters
2. Self test
Setting Communication Parameters
Connect GUP5000 program to the
MT2W (see the MT2W™ Programming
Manual)
Self-Test
See the Field Programmer User Guide for
directions on performing a self-test.
Signal Level Verification
Before attaching the MT2W to the
mounting bracket, verify signal level in
the planned mounting location, by
following these steps:
1. Turn on the FTU101 signal strength
unit.
2. Hold the MT2W in the planned
mounting location (after connecting
the 3 wires to the register – see the
Wiring section for directions how to
connect the MT2W to the register) and
swipe the magnet along the bottom of
the unit.
3. Look at the FTU101 screen, and make
sure you get a good or full signal from
at least one of the repeaters that is
receiving the ID of the MT2W that
was just activated.
4. If the strongest signal received is only
a weak signal, move the MTU to
another location, wait 20 seconds and
swipe the magnet along the bottom of
the unit again.
5. Repeat step 4 until the location with
the best signal level is found.
Installing the MT2W™
There are two mounting methods:
 Wall mounting
 On-pipe mounting
Wall Mounting Installation
Figure 2: Wall Mounting
1. Fasten the mounting bracket on the
wall with four screws (See figure 2)
2. Slide the MT2W unit on the mounting
bracket until the 4 clips lock the unit
3. Define the parameters with the field
programmer (FTU100) see the FTU
User Guide
4. Swipe the magnet along the bottom of
the MT2W unit. The MT2W wakes
and sends a transmission.
On-pipe Mounting Installation
Figure 3: On-pipe Mounting
1. Fasten the mounting bracket on the
pipe with two screws and the “Omega”
bracket (See figure 3)
2. Slide the MT2W unit on the mounting
bracket until the 4 clips lock the unit
3. Define the parameters with the field
programmer (FTU100) see the FTU
User Guide
4. Swipe the magnet along the bottom of
the MT2W unit. The MT2W wakes
and sends a transmission.
Restrictions
Before installation pay attention to the
following restrictions:
1. Do not mount the MT2W on any
metallic surface.
2. Do not run wires next to the MT2W
antenna.
3. Do not mount the MT2W horizontally.
Always mount unit with antenna facing
upwards.
4. Do not wrap excess wire around the
MT2W.
5. When installing more than a one
MT2W in the same site, make sure
you keep distance of at least 3 ft.
between two adjacent the MT2W units
installed on the same wall/surface.
Wiring
1. Connect the three wires from the
MT2W to the register wires using a
self-stripping insulated connector (3M-
Scotchlock™ or equivalent), or
directly to the register terminals.
Connect as follows:
MT2W Wire
Register
Wire/Terminal
Green

2. Polarity:
 If a Passive Pulse type meter is
connected, there is no polarity and
the wires can be connected in any
order
 If an Active Pulse type meter is
connected, there is a polarity and the
wires have to be connected in the
following order:
 Red wire to the POSITIVE (+) poll
