Tables Notes: viii CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide
1 Product Description This section provides a general description of the Neptune Technology Group cellular meter interface unit (subsequently referred to as CMIU). The CMIU by Neptune is a compact electronic device that collects meter reading data from an encoder register. It then transmits the data for collection. The collected data is stored and downloaded into the utility billing system for processing. The CMIU is easily installed and operates within the cellular frequencies.
2 Specifications This section provides you with the specifications for the CMIU. Electrical Specifications The power is supplied by a Lithium battery. Encoder Register Interface Supported Encoder Maximum Cable Length Neptune ARB® V1 300 feet (91 meters) Neptune ProRead™ and E-Coder® 500 feet (152 meters) Sensus Protocol registers 200 feet (61 meters) 1 Meets manufacturer’s published specifications for wire length between encoder and remote receptacle.
3 General Installation Guidelines This section describes tools, materials, and general installation information for the CMIU. Tools and Materials Tables 1 and 2 show the recommended tools and materials you need to successfully install the CMIU. It is possible that some items do not apply to your specific installation, or the list does not contain all required tools or materials.
General Installation Guidelines Table 2 Recommended Materials Item Description/Recommendation Use Cable Solid 3 conductor #22 AWG (black/ green/red) Part # 6431-352 Connect MIU to encoder register. Moisture Protection Compound Novaguard sealant Part # 96018-072 Cover exposed wires and terminal screws on register and MIU. Scotchloks Part # 8138-125 Connect wall MIU or replacement pit MIU to encoder register.
General Installation Guidelines When a ProRead encoder register is used, the non-AutoDetect ProRead register must be programmed for three-wire mode. If connecting the MIU to a new ProRead encoder register, or if a threeconductor cable is already connected to a ProRead encoder register, ensure that the ProRead register is programmed for three-wire mode using the ProRead programmer and its RF/MIU 6, 8, or 10ID TDI format.
General Installation Guidelines Figure 3 MIU Color Code for Wires 6 If required, connect the three conductor wires to the encoder register’s terminals per the manufacturer’s instructions. See Figure 2 and Figure 3. 7 Thread the cable around the strain relief posts of the encoder. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Cable Threaded Around Strain Relief Posts 8 Apply sealant liberally and ensure that it encapsulates the terminal screws and exposed wires. See Figure 5.
General Installation Guidelines Figure 5 Application of the Sealant Any leak point can cause a reading failure in a submerged meter setting. 9 Snap the cover onto the encoder register. See Figure 6. Figure 6 Covering the Terminal Screws 10 Run the cable to the MIU and fasten it securely. • • CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide Do not exceed maximum cable lengths as defined in “Specifications CMIU” on page 2.
4 Wall Installation This chapter provides instructions for installing the CMIU. Installing the Cellular MIU Removing the Main Housing Complete the following steps to install the wall MIU. 1 Remove the main housing from the mounting adapter. The Hi-Lo fastener for securing the main MIU housing to the adapter plate is shipped separately.
Wall Installation Applying the Scotchloks 1 Using Scotchloks Gel Caps, connect the register wires to the pigtail from the MIU. SeeFigure 9. 2 Pair the wires according to the color diagram in Figure 10. Gel caps Figure 9 Gel Cap Connections Figure 10 MIU Color Code for Wires Strain relief guide 3 Slide the paired wires into the grooves provided until they seat into the back of the gel cap. 4 Using an appropriate crimping tool, firmly squeeze the gel cap to ensure a good connection.
Wall Installation 7 Continue to guide the remaining wire through the cable exit notch at the bottom right side of the MIU as shown inFigure 12. 1 Slide the tongue on the top of the MIU into the groove on the top of the mounting adapter. 2 Secure the MIU to the mounting adapter using the set screw. SeeFigure 13. 3 Position the magnet against the left side of the MIU directly in line with the Neptune logo, and swipe it bringing it from the side and around the corner to the top to activate the MIU.
