Encoder Transmier 485-035-V2 485-039-V2 485-036-V3 485-045-V3 FCC ID: RUZ-485 Part number : MAN-485-0023-C If further support or assistance is required, please contact FCS Technical Support on 1-800-531-5465 or e-mail support@uidconservaon.com WARNING: - LITHIUM BATTERIES If baeries are exposed - do not short circuit, re-charge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operang temperature range of the product. 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 Encoder Transmier has a 4-core cable for connecng a water meter or Permalog+. The table below shows the connecons for some common meters.

INTRODUCTION The Encoder Transmier can read the data and idencaon informaon from water meters using the Sensus or Neptune protocols, or from a Permalog+ leak detector. The reading interval is factory set to 1, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Every me the data is read the meter reading or leak informaon is transmied via the VHF radio. Aer every 96 readings (24 hours at 15 mins) two supplementary messages are transmied with idencaon informaon, including the meter’s serial number. These supplementary messages can also be triggered via a magnet during commissioning or servicing.
3. INSTALLATION The opmum operang temperature is between –10°C and +40°C. We cannot guarantee the maximum life; therefore it is recommended to keep within the opmum operaon temperature range for maximum baery performance. Operang in extreme environmental condions will degrade the life-me of the baery. V2 CASE (GREY WEDGE) For maximum transmission range the transmier should be mounted upright so that the antenna is vercal, and should be kept clear of obstrucons, parcularly metallic surfaces. Mounng brackets are available to t the cavity in the rear of the transmier. PIT CASE (BLUE WITH MAGNETIC MOUNT) The transmier is intended to be ed to the underside of a pit lid using the magnet on the top of the case. Plasc lids will require a metal plate to be ed to the lid. 4. OPERATION The reading interval of the Encoder Transmier is factory set to 1, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Every me the data is read the meter reading or leak informaon is transmied via the VHF radio. Aer every 96 readings (24 hours at 15 mins) two supplementary messages are transmied with idencaon informaon, including the meter’s serial number. These supplementary messages can also be triggered via a reed switch during commissioning or servicing. The reed switch is located under the bar code of the label and can be triggered by swiping a magnet across this area. This will cause three messages to be transmied approximately 2 seconds apart. This 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 exposure 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 serial number should be noted along with the corresponding water meter or Permalog+ number, and the site locaon. When the water meter or Permalog+ is rst connected or changed during servicing, the transmier’s reed switch should be triggered to iniate a data read and transmission of the data and supplementary messages, which include important idencaon informaon. DATAGATE CONFIGURATION If the transmier is to be used with DataGate then it must be congured with the water meter’s or Permalog+’s serial number rather than that of the transmier. Water Meter: Select RTL Encoder Transmier for the logger type. The mobile number must be of the format 4420829XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is the meter’s serial number. If the serial number is shorter than 8 digits then le pad it with 0’s so that the total length is 15 digits. Permalog+: Select Permalog for the logger type. The mobile number must be of the format 4406400XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is the Permalog+’s serial number. The total length must be 15 digits.
