the EN1501 and EN1501-XL transmitters will transmit data to an RF
receiver that is connected to a Data Concentrator and Communicator
(DCC-5800). The EN1501 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 Transmitter
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 right two pins to select 915-928 MHz for
Australia.
2.3 Mount the Transmitter
1. Use the double-sided tape to mount the transmitter to a clean wall.
2. If installing the EN1501, the transmitter can be secured a wall with the
mounting screw and anchor. Remove the battery to access the
mounting screw hole; press the reset button after replacing the battery.
Note: Ensure cabling enters the housing through the access wiring thru-
hole, and replace the housing (Figure 2).

3 Replace the Battery (EN1501 Only)
When the low battery message is received, you will need to replace the
EN1501 battery.
1. Open the housing by pressing down on the base tab near the wiring
thru-hole while lifting away the cover.
2. Remove the old battery, taking note of the battery orientation.
3. Insert the new battery, making sure it is aligned correctly.
4. Press the reset button.
Note: EN1501 transmitters retain programming data in non-volatile
memory. They do not require reprogramming after loss of power. Install
new battery and press the transmitter reset button to re-initialize the
transmitter and restore programming. Its count will go to zero and the initial
Meter Read count will be updated in the DCC.
