MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Wall Mounting: (Indoors and Outdoors)
1. Using MXU mounting bracket, find a convenient location for the MXU mounting. The MXU should be
mounted in a vertical position so the top part with the logo is facing the front. The MXU mounting
bracket can be mounted to a wall using screws or fastened to an object using heavy duty wire ties.
Grooves have been placed in the back of the bracket for mounting on either horizontal or vertical
(existing) pipes.
2. After mounting the MXU bracket, snap the MXU (which should already be wired as noted in the
preceding wiring instructions) into the bracket. Be sure the locating tabs on either side of the MXU
have snapped into position in the mounting bracket.The installation is now complete.
3. TouchPad Mounting (Optional) – If mounting the MXU outdoors and a TouchRead TouchPad
connection is to be included, mounting holes can be drilled in the side of the MXU bracket. Using
short screws or plastic rivets, mount the TouchPad to the side of the MXU bracket. Caution: When
using screws, be sure they do not penetrate the MXU enclosure when mounting the TouchPad. The
TouchPad can also be mounted in a location away from the MXU. Be sure to use screws that are
designed for and applicable to the mounting surface.
Pit Set Mounting:
1. Use 1/2” EMT. Select a location for the conduit where the MXU’s installed position will not interfere
with the meter and allow the MXU to be located as high as possible inside the meter box. The MXU
should be kept approximately 1" from the sides of the meter box and positioned so the meter register
odometer remains visible for visual confirmation readings. Conduit mounting method calls for driving a
length of conduit into the ground at the bottom of the meter box. (If the bottom of the meter box does
not have an opening sufficient for driving the conduit vertically into the ground below, a different
mounting method may need to be developed.) Place driver on conduit and strike with hammer, driving
conduit downward until it is at the desired height. The correct height should be at the point the driver
is level with the top of the meter box in most cases. When completely installed, the top of the MXU
should be about 1" below the meter box lid.
2. After installation of conduit, position the opening located in the bottom of MXU over the conduit and
press into place. Place meter box cover (lid) into position. Pit set installation is now complete.
3. TouchRead Sensor Mounting (Optional) – If installing a TouchRead pit-set module, follow the TR/PL
mounting instructions on bulletin TR-997 for mounting in the meter box lid. Place meter box cover (lid)
into position with the TR/PL sensor in place.
