Use care when working with a power screwdriver to insert screws in the plastic Transmitter box. Over
tightening will damage the box and/or weaken the contact. Failure to comply with this caution can result in
damage to the equipment.
7. Secure the cover to the transmitter with the index cover screws.
8. Align and insert the two snap seals into the index cover using a ¼” nut driver until the snap seals are
fully seated.

Pulse Output Identification
1. If the output is a ‘dry contact’ pulse (i.e., magnetic relay, reed switch), use both wires.
2. If the output is an electronic pulse:
a. Connect the ‘plus’ wire, to the red wire from the transmitter.
b. Connect the ‘minus’ or ground wire to the black wire from the transmitter.
Mount Back Plate
NOTE:
When locating a place for the transmitter, consider:
• The wire lengths
• The convenience of wiring and ability to properly secure the wires
• That a high spot is preferable for optimal radio coverage
• The proximity (<6”) of the transmitter to metallic objects (not including the pipe on which
the transmitter is mounted)
1. Locate an appropriate spot for mounting the transmitter.
2. Secure the back plate to the wall with the mounting screws, or to the pipe using the pipe clamp. The
pipe clamp can be horizontal or vertical as long as the back plate is horizontal.
Mount Transmitter
1. Before mounting the transmitter, use the HHT to ensure that the transmitter is functioning properly.
Refer to the Gas AMR Installation HHT (Mint) User’s Guide.
2. Secure the transmitter to the back plate using the mounting screws.
3. Ensure that the transmitter is completely secure and horizontal.
Splice Wires
1. Strip the wires so that approximately 2" of the wires are exposed.
2. Insert two matching wire ends, as identified in Step 2 of “Pulse Output Identification,” into a
UY-2 gel-cap.
3. Crimp the gel-cap using the 3M Scotchlok® E-9Y steppe-jaw crimping tool until the cap releases the
waterproof gel,
4. Ensure the splice is secure by gently pulling on the gel-cap while holding the wires.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the remaining connection.
6. Secure any unused connections with UY-2 gel-caps.
If any of the wire connections are not being used they should be capped at the end with a UY-2 gel-cap.
This is to prevent water from getting into unused wires.
7. Secure excess or loose wiring.
8. Mount index cover on transmitter and secure with the index cover screws.
9. Align and insert the two snap seals into the index cover using a ¼” nut driver until the snap seals are
fully seated.
