Step 1 Disassemble 520 Unit 1.) Disassemble the model 520 unit to begin the installation procedure. Unlock the radio device by pressing down on the two tabs on the Boot Locking Clip facing the port side connections. Once the tabs are depressed, slide the Boot Locking Clip partially out until the Boot Locking Clip disengages from the Pit Lid Housing. 2.) Slide out the HDPE Radio and Boot from the Pit Lid Housing. 3.
Step 2 Inserting the Pit Lid Housing Place the Pit Lid Housing thru the pre-drilled hole in the top of the pit lid.
Step 3 Securing the Pit Lid Housing to the Pit Lid Place the Pit Locking Nut at the bottom of the Pit Lid Housing aligning the Pit Locking Nut with the shaft of the Pit Lid Housing. Tighten the Pit Locking Nut by turning to the right until the unit is firmly secured against the bottom of the pit lid.
Step 4 Inserting the Radio Device in the Pit Lid Housing 1.) Insert the HDPE Radio with Boot into the cavity of the Pit Lid Housing (See picture below) 2.) Align the Boot with the slot located on the bottom of the Pit Lid Housing to secure the unit. 3.) To lock the unit into place, push Boot Locking Clip (opposite of the tabs) until tabs are engaged and locked.
Step 5 Connecting meters to the radio TouchCoupler (Sensus Only) 1.) Grasp the TRPL housing and place into Port 1 of the TouchCoupler TR/PL Adaptor until secured. (See picture below) 2.) Repeat process into Port 2 if needed.
Wired Units (Sensus, MultiRead Module (RadioRead Only), Neptune) Sensus Encoder 1.) Gel cap the red wire from the encoder to the red wire on the reading port (either port 1 or port 2 – if available). 2.) Gel cap the green wire from the encoder to the green wire on the reading port. 3.) Gel cap the black wire from the encoder to the black wire on the reading port. MultiRead Module 1.) Gel cap encoders to the MultiRead Module per the instructions sheet for the MultiRead Module (AMR-306). 2.
Step 6 Activate Radio Note: if no meters are connected to this radio, the radio will not activate. 1.) Once all meters are connected, the radio must be activated in order for it to perform its function. To activate, using a TouchReader or Model 4090 AutoGun, attempt a TouchRead on the Programming/TouchRead port (See picture below). Once TouchRead is activated, the radio will determine what is connected to this unit automatically.
• ID: FIXNET1 – which means a TouchRead was attempted on an unsupported meter (Neptune). • ID: FIXNET2 – which means that the port was configured for a meter type that supports TouchRead (Sensus only) but there was no response from the meter. 5.) If unsuccessful detection, the TouchRead will start the activation process again. The ID on the AutoGun will display FIXNET0 similar to the step 2 above.
