EnergyAxis Direct Gas-meter Transponder
Installation
Installing the EnergyAxis DGT on any of the four types of meters (A,
R415, R and S) is quick and easy.
We estimate the complete process (including initial baseline
programming) will take an experienced installer about five minutes
to complete, assuming all tools, equipment and materials are on
hand.
