1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
This document provides the instructions for the retrofit of the Tantalus TUNet meter modules into single-phase meters. The
meters covered in this document include the GE I-70-S, ABB AB-1, GE I-210, and the Itron CENTRON.
1.2 Overview
The entire retrofit process should take approximately ten minutes per meter once a technician is familiar with all the steps
involved. This procedure includes instructions for the following basic steps:
Drill a hole in the meter base to mount the IR (infrared) serial interface for the meter module.
Mark the disk for reading by the optical sensor on the module (eletromechanical meters only).
Mount the IR serial interface.
Connect the power from the host meter to the TUNet module.
Mount the TUNet module into the host meter.
Program the TUNet module with the utility operating parameters.
1.3 Required parts
The following items are required for the TUNet meter module installation:
GE I-70 and ABB AB-1 (240V)
o One (1) TC-1205 meter module for 200 class service or one (1) TC-1207 for 320 class service
o One (1) infrared LED serial interface
o Two (2) mounting screws: UNF 4-48 x ½” required for the GE I-70S meter
o Two (2) power clips to attach to bus bars. The part number is dependant on the meter bus bar diameter.
GE I-210 (240V)
o One (1) TC-1210 module
o One (1) infrared LED serial interface
o Two (2) Y-clips are required for the TC-1210 module.
Itron CENTRON
o One (1) TC-1216 meter module for 240V or one (1) TC-1116 meter module for 120V
o One (1) infrared LED serial interface
