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 a kwH meter to the RUM Transponder, only use the Isolated Outputs (ISO) from the
meter (fig 1).
Connecting the RUM Transponder to a Counter Output, Display Output, Register Output or 12V
Output will permanently damage the RUM Transponder and void the warranty.
Isolated outputs on utility meters are polarity specific.
Connect the Isolated Output (+) from the meter to terminal #7 of the RUM Transponder (Fig 1).
Connect the Isolated Common (-) of the utility meter to the RUM Transponder “COM” - Terminals 9 or
12. (Fig 1)
