Mounting the Transponder It is recommended the transponder be mounted near the sub-meter and/or power supply. The transponder should not be positioned in a manner that makes it difficult to gain access. The transponder is equipped with an internal antenna. To maximize performance, the transponder should be mounted as high as possible. Mount the transponder in a vertical orientation where possible. If installing within a weather-resistant enclosure or pedestal, the transponder may be mounted horizontally.
Mounting the Power Supply It is recommended the DC power supply be installed in an accessible location within the pedestal. Only use MarineSync supplied AC/DC power supply. The power supply must be directly wired to an unmetered, uninterrupted power source 100-240VAC. In some applications, the pedestals lighting circuit may provide an adequate connection point. Ensure the power supply is not installed between a photocell or switch. Power Supple Dimensions & Mounting Power Supply: EP2000.
Preparing the Transponder Remove the RUM splash cover using a #1 Phillips Screw Driver. Use caution not to lose the stainless hardware. To remove the terminal connector from the transponder, firmly pull the desired connector away from the transponder. As required, use 16-22AWG tinned copper wire for field wiring; strip field wiring to .20 to .24 inches. Wiring the Transponder Only use MarineSync supplied AC/DC power supply. Locate the “Monitoring” connector on the RUM transponder.
Remote Utility Monitoring - Connecting a Digital kWh Meter Preparing the Transponder Remove the RUM splash cover using a #1 Phillips Screw Driver. Use caution not to lose stainless hardware. To remove the terminal connector from the transponder, firmly pull the desired connector away from the transponder. If required, use 16-22AWG tinned copper wire for field wiring; strip field wiring to .20 to .24 inches. Wiring the Transponder The RUM transponder accepts up to four (4) meter outputs.
When connecting more than one meter to the RUM Transponder, use terminal #8, #10 and #11. If the utility meter provides more than one output resolutions (10, 100, 1000), determine the appropriate resolution for your application (fig 2) and connect to the RUM meter input. If you need assistance selecting a resolution, contact MarineSync.
