Risk of re or explosion. These baeries are sealed units which are not hazardous when used according to the recommendaons of the manufacturer. 2. CONNECTIONS The connecons for the single channel pulse and dual channel pulse transmiers are shown in the table below.

EcoChirp Quick Start Guide This guide covers only the most basic operaons including connecons and commissioning. INTRODUCTION The EcoChirp transmier is a low cost, easy to install, durable pulse transmier that counts pulses from meter-head or reed switch type output ulity meters. The market leading transmier is designed to provide consumpon data for billing, monitoring and targeng. HWM reserves the right to change any product specicaon without prior noce.
3. INSTALLATION Opmum operang temperature should be below +50°C. We cannot guarantee the maximum life; therefore it is recommended to keep within the opmum operaon tem-perature range for maximum baery performance. If monitoring hot water systems it is not advisable to mount the transmier directly on the pipe without intervening insulaon. For maximum transmission range the antenna of the transmier should point upward (vercal polarizaon) and should be kept clear of obstrucons, parcularly metallic sur-faces. Mounng brackets are available, to t the cavity at the rear of the transmier. Operang in extreme environmental condions will degrade the life-me of the baery. 4. OPERATION The reed switch is located on the front right of the unit. The unit will normally be transming out of the box. If a restart is required or the unit doesn’t appear to transmit, use the reed switch to iniate transmission. Hold a magnet to close the reed switch and cause the rmware reset. A click from the reed switch may be heard followed by a transmission burst. Reed switch operaon can be veried using an RF scanner tuned to the transmission frequency, when transming a burst or blip can be heard. FCC warning statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operaon is subject to the following two condions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operaon. This equipment complies with FCC radiaon exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specic operang instrucons for sasfying RF expo-sure compliance. This transmier must not be co-located or operang in conjuncon with any other antenna or transmier. Changes or modicaons not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment 5. COMMISSIONING The transmier ID/serial number should be noted along with the corresponding meter number, the meters current reading and the inial transmier pulse count and/or site locaon. The current count value held in the transmier should be used as an oset as for future readings. The oset value will need adjusng if the pulse count value exceeds 16777215 (24-bit number) as the pulse count value will return back to zero. This value will vary from unit to unit. Note for reasons of fraud prevenon it is intenonally not possible to reset transmier pulse counter to zero.
