Rev: 01 01/11/04 MT150W™ General Description MT150W™ is a long-range, synthesized radio-metering transmitter in the VHF 172-174 MHz frequency range.. When the MT150W detects pulse conditions at one or more of its inputs the pulse is counted and saved. When the number of the pulse is equal to the Trans Scale defined by the GUP10™, it is then transmitted to the central station according to the WAT-NETTM protocol selected for the system in operation. MT150W™ has one connector (see Figure 1). 1. J9: The 10-pin programming jack is a serial port to connect a PC or a FTU (see Figure 1). Unit parameters and meters values are easily programmed using Gup10™ utility-programming software. (See the MT150W™ Programming Guide) or by the FTU. 2. Meter Input: The meter input is a two wires cable. These wires connect to the meter output. Figure 1: MT150W™ View Preparing for Operation Before installing the MT150W™ on site, perform the following preparations: 1. Setting communication parameters 2. Self test Setting Communication Parameters • Connect GUP10 program to the MT150W™ (see the MT150W™ programming guide) Self-Test In order to perform a self-test please see the Field Programmer User Guide. Installing the MT150W There are two mounting methods: 1. Wall mounting 2. On-Pipe mounting Wall Mounting Installation 1. Fasten the mounting bracket on the wall with four screws (See figure 2) 2. Slide the MT150W unit on the mounting bracket until the 4 clips are locking the unit 3. Define the parameters with the field programmer (FTU100) see the FTU User Guide 4. Insert the terminator to J9 (See figure 1) 5. Put the cover On-Pipe Mounting Installation 1. Fasten the mounting bracket on the pipe with two screws and the “Omega” bracket (See figure 3) 2. Slide the MT150W unit on the mounting bracket until the 4 clips are locking the unit 3. Define the parameters with the field programmer (FTU100) see the FTU User Guide 4. Insert the terminator to J9 (See figure 1) 5. Put the cover Figure 2222: Wall Mounting Figure 3333: On-Pipe Mounting
Restrictions: 1. Do not mount the unit on any kind of metal surface. 2. Do not mount any input cable next to the antenna (see figure). Meter types: 1. There are two main types of meters: 2. Meters that produces a ‘Passive Pulse’. 3. Meters that produces an ‘Active-Pulse’ (known also as-‘’Pulse Generator’). Technical Specifications: Operating Voltage 8–15 VDC Standby Current 30µA max. Tx Current 0.8A max. Power Output 2W Freq. Stability ±5ppm at operating temp. range Operating Temp. -22°F ÷ 120°F (-30°C ÷ 60°C) Storage Temp. -40°F ÷ 158°F (-40°C ÷ 70°C) Weight 0.5 lb. (230 gr.) Wiring: 1. Connect the two polls of the Meter input cable to the meter using a self-stripping insulated connector (like 3M-Scotchlock or equivalent). 2. Polarity: if a ‘Passive Pulse’ type meter is connected, there is no polarity so the wires can be connected in any order, if an ‘Active Pulse’ type meter is connected, there is a polarity and the wires have to be connected in the following order: Red wire to the POSITIVE (+) poll and the Black wire to the NEGATIVE (-) poll, (see figure 4).
