submetering, the ES1501 and EN1501-XL transmitters will
transmit data to an RF receiver that is connected to a Data
Concentrator and Communicator (DCC-5800). The ES1501
includes a replaceable battery; the EN1501-XL includes a long-
life battery that is not replaceable.

2 Installation and Startup
2.1 Connect Transmitter to Meter
Connect the transmitter to the meter as follows:
1. Open the housing by pressing down on the base tab near the
wiring thru-hole while lifting away the cover.
2. Fully insert stripped wires into the removable header
terminal.
3. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws that
secure wires to the removable header terminal.
4. Attach removable header terminal (if removed) to the
transmitter board as shown.
Note: If connecting to a meter that has polarity to its pulse
output, the negative (—) should be connected to the outside
terminal, closest to the corner of the board.
Figure 2 Connect the Transmitter to the Meter
2.2 Select Frequency Band
If you are using either transmitter anywhere except North
America, you will need to select the frequency band for your
geographic area. If you are using the transmitter in North
America, there is no need to select the frequency band. All
transmitters are set for North America by default.
Select Frequency Band on the ES1501
1. Place the selection jumper included in the accessory pack on
the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Figure 1).
• Leave the jumper off the pins to select 902-928 MHz for
North America.
• Place the jumper on the left two pins to select 921-928
MHz for New Zealand.
• Place the jumper on the middle two pins to select 868-869
MHz for Europe.
• Place the jumper on the right two pins to select 915-928
MHz for Australia.
Select Frequency Band on the EN1501-XL
1. Place the selection jumper included in the accessory pack on
the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Figure 1).
• Leave the jumper off the pins to select 902-928 MHz for
North America.
• Place the jumper on the left two pins to select 921-928
MHz for New Zealand.
• The selection marked EU is non-functional on the EN1501-
XL. Do not select the middle two pins.
• Place the jumper on the right two pins to select 915-928
MHz for Australia.
2.3 Mount the Transmitter
