Wall-mount Procedure
The wall-mounted VRT RGT can be installed on any flat, vertical
surface via the mounting flanges on the transponder’s enclosure.
1. Attach the transponder directly to the desired surface.
• Position the transponder with the
AMCO Automated Systems logo
facing upright.
• Use the 2 mounting screws.
• Ensure there is no excess tension
on the pulser cable when
transponder is tightened down.
2. Dress pulser cable neatly.
• Tie up or bind any excess cable and position it out of harm’s
way.
3. Program the transponder to the reading on the index.
• Refer to the programming procedure below for specific
instructions.
VRT RGT Programming (All)
NOTE: The procedure for programming the VRT Remote Gas-meter
Transponder is identical to that used for programming the VRT
Direct Gas-meter Transponder as described earlier in this manual.
Although transponders may contain default or utility-specified values
that are programmed during manufacturing, it is important to
program certain data only after the transponder has been installed
in the field:
• Transponders can accumulate subcounts during shipping,
handling and installation due to the movement of its wriggler.
• The transponder’s tamper sensing switch must be told which
orientation should be considered its normal (not tampered)
condition.
