ENCODER TRANSMITTER QUICK START GUIDE
This guide covers only the most basic operations including connections and commissioning.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Encoder Transmitter can read the data and identification information 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 time the data is read the
meter reading or leak information is transmitted via the VHF radio.
After every 96 readings (24 hours at 15 mins) two supplementary messages are transmitted
with identification information, including the meter’s serial number. These supplementary
messages can also be triggered via a magnet during commissioning or servicing.

2. CONNECTIONS
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.
The Encoder Transmitter has a 4-core cable for connecting a water meter or Permalog+. The
table below shows the connections for some common meters.

Part number : MAN-485-0023-C
The transmitter serial number should be noted along with the corresponding water meter or
Permalog+ number, and the site location.
The optimum operating temperature is between –10°C and +40°C. We cannot
guarantee the maximum life; therefore it is recommended to keep within the optimum
operation temperature range for maximum battery performance. Operating in extreme
environmental conditions will degrade the life-time of the battery.
5. COMMISSIONING
3. INSTALLATION
V2 CASE (GREY WEDGE)
For maximum transmission range the transmitter should be mounted upright so that the
antenna is vertical, and should be kept clear of obstructions, particularly metallic
surfaces. Mounting brackets are available to fit the cavity in the rear of the transmitter.
PIT CASE (BLUE WITH MAGNETIC MOUNT)
The transmitter is intended to be fitted to the underside of a pit lid using the magnet on
the top of the case. Plastic lids will require a metal plate to be fitted to the lid.
When the water meter or Permalog+ is first connected or changed during servicing, the
transmitter’s reed switch should be triggered to initiate a data read and transmission of the
data and supplementary messages, which include important identification information.
DATAGATE CONFIGURATION
If the transmitter is to be used with DataGate then it must be configured with the water
meter’s or Permalog+’s serial number rather than that of the transmitter.
Water Meter: Select RTL Encoder Transmitter 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 left pad it with 0’s so that the total length is 15 digits.
Permalog+:
4. OPERATION
The reading interval of the Encoder Transmitter is factory set to 1, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Every
time the data is read the meter reading or leak information is transmitted via the VHF radio.
After every 96 readings (24 hours at 15 mins) two supplementary messages are transmitted
with identification information, 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 transmitted approximately
2 seconds apart. This can be verified using an RF scanner tuned to the transmission
frequency. When transmitting a burst or blip can be heard.
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.
FCC WARNING STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
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
