1. EcoChirp Quick Start Guide
This guide covers only the most basic operations including connections and commissioning.
INTRODUCTION
The EcoChirp transmitter is a low cost, easy to install, durable pulse transmitter that counts
pulses from meter-head or reed switch type output utility meters. The market leading
transmitter is designed to provide consumption data for billing, monitoring and targeting.
HWM reserves the right to change any product specification without prior notice.
WARNING: - LITHIUM BATTERIES
If batteries are exposed - do not short circuit, re-charge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the product. Risk
of fire or explosion. These batteries are sealed units which are not hazardous when used according to
the recommendations of the manufacturer.
2. CONNECTIONS
The connections for the single channel pulse and dual channel pulse transmitters are shown
in the table below.

Part number :
This value will vary from unit to unit. Note for reasons of fraud prevention it is intentionally
not possible to reset transmitter pulse counter to zero.
For maximum transmission range the antenna of the transmitter should point upward
(vertical polarization) and should be kept clear of obstructions, particularly metallic surfaces. Mounting brackets are available, to fit the cavity at the rear of the transmitter.
The current count value held in the transmitter should be used as an offset as for future
readings. The offset value will need adjusting if the pulse count value exceeds 16777215 (24
-bit number) as the pulse count value will return back to zero.
If monitoring hot water systems it is not advisable to mount the transmitter directly on
the pipe without intervening insulation.
The transmitter ID/serial number should be noted along with the corresponding meter
number, the meters current reading and the initial transmitter pulse count and/or site
location.
Optimum operating temperature should be below +50°C. We cannot guarantee the
maximum life; therefore it is recommended to keep within the optimum operation temperature range for maximum battery performance.
5. COMMISSIONING
3. INSTALLATION
Operating in extreme environmental conditions will degrade the life-time of the battery.
4. OPERATION
FCC warning statement:
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Reed switch operation can be verified using an RF scanner tuned to the transmission
frequency, when transmitting a burst or blip can be heard.
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
The reed switch is located on the front right of the unit. The unit will normally be
transmitting out of the box. If a restart is required or the unit doesn’t appear to transmit,
use the reed switch to initiate transmission. Hold a magnet to close the reed switch and
cause the firmware reset. A click from the reed switch may be heard followed by a
transmission burst.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment
