Safety and Preliminary Checks
Observe the following safety and preliminary checks before and during
each installation.
• Verify that you are at the location specified on the site work order.
• Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment.
• Notify the customer of your presence and tell the customer that you
need access to the water meter.
• Write in the ID number(s) of the MIU you are about to install, if the
site work order does not have an MIU ID number.
• Verify that the ID number(s) matches the ID number(s) on the MIU
you are about to install, if the site worker already has an MIU ID
number.
Verifying/Preparing the Encoder Register
The CMIU is designed for use with the following encoder registers:
• ARB V
• ProRead
• ProRead AutoDetect
•E-Coder
• Competitive registers using Sensus which include: Sensus ECRII,
ICE, iPerl, OMNI and electronic register; also Hersey/Mueller
Translator, Badger ADE, and HR E|LCD.
Before installing an MIU, the encoder register must be correctly wired
and/or programmed to work with the MIU. E-Coder registers do not
require programming.
