CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE CELLNET WATER ENDPOINT
LOCATING THE CWE
The CWE Remote should be mounted above ground. If there is an existing
touchpad or remote, then put the new remote in that location. It is preferred to
mount the CWE outdoors, to a wall facing the nearest concentrator.
MOUNTING THE CWE
Mounting techniques vary widely, depending on the physical characteristics of
the customer site. The mounting technique used is left to the installer’s best
judgement and experience.
IDENTIFYING THE REGISTER FOR INSTALLATION
Register connecting instructions listed by register type:
• If the register has screw terminals, proceed to "Connecting a Neptune Auto or
Sensus Encoder Register with Screw Terminals" on page 2-3

Connecting a Badger RTR® Register with Potted Leads
Badger manufactures "potted" RTR registers for water meter applications. These
registers have a three-conductor cable already attached to the register. The factory
seals them with a "potting compound".
Use the following installation procedure for sites equipped with potted RTR
registers.
1 Route the cable from the potted register to the CWE mounting location. Splice
in additional cable as necessary. When using additional cable, always match
colors: black to black, red to red, green to green. All color translations will be
done at the CWE mount.
2 Prepare cable ends for crimping:

PRO-READ ENCODER REGISTER
Before removing the ProRead receptacle, ensure that the ProRead register is
programmed for three-wire mode.
• If a two-wire conductor cable is connected to a "potted" ProRead encoder
register, replace the register with a three-wire register.
Reprogramming a ProRead encoder from 2-wire to 3-wire
It may sometimes be necessary to reprogram a ProRead register encoder from 2-
wire to 3-wire mode. Accomplish this with a Neptune ProRead field programmer.
A basic overview of the steps is as follows:
1 Connect to the remote receptacle with the field programmer.
2 Interrogate the encoder register to determine its operating mode (2 or 3-wire).
3 Reconfigure the encoder register to make it operate in 3-wire model.
4 Verify that the reconfiguration was successful by looking at the Field
Programmer screen. The OM field should be 3W (see below).
Table 2.1
If the register has screw terminals, proceed to "Connecting a Neptune Auto or
Sensus Encoder Register with Screw Terminals" on page 2-3.
If the register has potted leads, proceed to "Connecting a Badger, Neptune Auto or
Sensus Encoder Register with Potted Leads" on page 2-6.

CHAPTER 3 TESTING THE ENDPOINT
After you have completed the installation process, test the installation by passing
an RF Buster magnet near the endpoint’s sensor. The CWE tests the connection to
the register and transmits a pattern to indicate if the installation is good or bad.
The RF Buster detects the transmission pattern, beeps and lights the LED.
1 Activate the CWE by passing the RF Buster magnet against the side of the
CWE housing as shown.
Figure 3.1 CWE Activation Using RF Buster
2 Press and hold the button on the RF Buster. Position the RF Buster less than 6
inches away from the front of the CWE. The RF Buster makes audible beeps
and the LED flashes to confirm transmission of an RF packet from the
endpoint.
3 If the RF Buster detects 6-10 packets within 1 minute, the installation is good
and the endpoint has been activated properly. If the RF Buster detects 3 or
fewer packets, it indicates a bad connection between the endpoint and the
register, a bad register, a bad endpoint, or an incorrect configuration. If the
problem persists, refer to Troubleshooting.
4 Attach the cover using the four screws included in the hardware kit.
5 Clean the area and remove all disposable materials.

Caution: If you hold the RF Buster magnet near the side of the CWE for more than 2
seconds, it will not transmit the installation test pattern. If you do not hear beeps, hold the
RF Buster away from the CWE for 15 seconds to allow it to reset to normal operating mode.
Do not use a cell phone or any other RF device while conducting
this test.

CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING
What if the register is not compatible with the CWE?
Verify that the register is one of the following:
• Badger ADE®
• Badger RTR®
• Neptune ProRead (ARB VI)
• Sensus ECR-II
• Sensus ECR-III
If the register is not one of the models listed above, replace with a supported
register type and/or the appropriate meter.
What if the RF Buster does not beep when testing the installation?
Does the RF Buster beep and light the LED when the switch is initially pressed? if
not, the battery in the RF Buster is dead. Replace the RF Buster battery, or use
another RF Buster.
Be careful not to hold the RF Buster magnet near the CWE magnet sensor on the
right of the enclosure for more than 1 second.
After activating the magnetic switch on the CWE, hold the RF Buster switch on
continuously. Point the LED end of the RF Buster toward the front of the CWE.
Hold the RF Buster between 6” and 12” from the front of the CWE. Wait 10
seconds. If the RF Buster does not beep, replace the CWE.
What if the RF Buster does not beep more than 6 times when testing the
installation?
For Neptune registers, if the register is labeled “Pro”, double-check that it is
configured for 3-wire mode as instructed on "Reprogramming a ProRead encoder
from 2-wire to 3-wire" on page 2-12. Re-check the manufacturer and model of the
register that you are installing. Make sure you have used the correct color code for
that register.
Check the wire between the CWE and the register for cuts, nicks, or broken wires.
Repair or replace the cable if necessary.
If you are using a Pro-read encoder, make sure it is programmed for 3-wire mode.
If you are using a Badger RTR®, double-check the programming of the CWE.
If the CWE still does not transmit more than 6 times, replace it.

How can I tell the difference between a Sensus ECR-I and ECR-II encoder
register?
The easiest way to determine the difference between ECRI and ECRII is physical
appearance. ECRI is a “high top” design with odometer wheels behind a a flange.
If you still cannot determine which encoder register it is, please contact your local
Sensus Meter Representative.
