You may need to note both the
4 current reading and the base value: The exact target area on your meter depends on whether it is an electric or gas meter, as well as the specific type. 2. Attach Template to Meter Since placement of the Pulse Reader cable sensor on the meter is critical, your kit includes self-adhesive templates to help you align the sensor. Visually align the marking on the template to the target placement on your meter. When you are sure of the placement and where to align the marking on each template, remove the adhesive backing from the template and stick it to the meter. Be careful to ensure that the template’s marking is placed exactly over the target sensor placement on the meter. After sticking the template to your meter, remove the middle portion of the template that contains the alignment marking. This area is perforated to help you remove it. You should be left with two sides of the template still stuck to your meter. This is the area where you will align the Pulse Reader sensor.
5 3. Attach Sensor to Meter Before removing the adhesive backing from the cable sensor, make sure it aligns correctly over the open area of the template. The grey-colored sensor attaches to your gas meter, and the white-colored sensor attaches to your electric meter. As you align the sensor over the template, make sure there will be no overhang of the sensor that might extend far over the template area. If necessary, the edges of the sensor are perforated to allow you to break it to make the surface area smaller. When you are sure of the placement and fit of the cable sensor, remove its adhesive backing and stick the sensor to the open area of the template. The sensor should stick directly to the meter and not to the template edges. When the sensor is securely attached to the meter, you can remove the template edges by peeling them off of the meter. 4. Install Batteries Your Pulse Reader comes with four AA lithium (FR6) batteries. If these batteries are not already pre-installed, then remove the cover from the battery compartment on the back of the Pulse Reader unit, insert the batteries as indicated on the markings in the battery compartment, and then replace the cover. CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
6 5. Secure Pulse Reader Next to Meter Using the self-adhesive Velcro strips, mount the Pulse Reader unit to a stable location near your meters. Make sure there is no tension on the sensor cables attached to the meter.
Batteries Use only lithium FR6 AA batteries. WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and equipment. • Do not short battery terminals.• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type. • Remove dead batteries immediately and follow local • Do not dispose of batteries in fire.• Keep batteries out of reach of children.Safety Information Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire.

8 • Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools, etc. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
