The CMIU by Neptune is a compact electronic device that collects meter reading data from an encoder register. It then transmits the data for collection. The collected data is stored and downloaded into the utility billing system for processing. The CMIU is easily installed and operates within the cellular frequencies. Figure 1 Cellular MIU The CMIU does require field programming. Product Description CMIU Programming The CMIU does require field programming. Low Battery Emissions The CMIU stops RF transmissions when the battery discharges below normal the operating voltage. CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide 2 Specifications This section provides you with the specifications for the CMIU. Electrical Specifications The power is supplied by a Lithium battery. Encoder Register Interface Supported Encoder Maximum Cable Length Neptune ARB® V1 300 feet (91 meters) Neptune ProRead™ and E-Coder® 500 feet (152 meters) Sensus Protocol registers 200 feet (61 meters) Meets manufacturer’s published specifications for wire length between encoder and remote receptacle. The length is based on solid three conductor wire, 22 AWG.

Moisture Protection Compound Novaguard sealant Part # 96018-072 Cover exposed wires and terminal screws on register and MIU. Scotchloks Part # 8138-125 Connect wall MIU or replacement pit MIU to encoder register. Site Work Order Documentation provided by your utility Receive and record information about the work site. Safety and Preliminary Checks Observe the following safety and preliminary checks before and during each installation. • Verify that you are at the location specified on the site work order. • Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment. • Notify the customer of your presence and tell the customer that you need access to the water meter. • Write in the ID number(s) of the MIU you are about to install, if the site work order does not have an MIU ID number. • Verify that the ID number(s) matches the ID number(s) on the MIU you are about to install, if the site worker already has an MIU ID number. Verifying/Preparing the Encoder Register The CMIU is designed for use with the following encoder registers: • ARB V • ProRead • ProRead AutoDetect • E-Coder • Competitive registers using Sensus which include: Sensus ECRII, ICE, iPerl, OMNI and electronic register; also Hersey/Mueller Translator, Badger ADE, and HR E|LCD. Before installing an MIU, the encoder register must be correctly wired and/or programmed to work with the MIU. E-Coder registers do not require programming. CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide General Installation Guidelines When a ProRead encoder register is used, the non-AutoDetect ProRead register must be programmed for three-wire mode. If connecting the MIU to a new ProRead encoder register, or if a threeconductor cable is already connected to a ProRead encoder register, ensure that the ProRead register is programmed for three-wire mode using the ProRead programmer and its RF/MIU 6, 8, or 10ID TDI format. This can be accomplished through the ProRead receptacle before removing the receptacle. Installation of a Register (Non Pre-Wired or Potted Only) Before wiring the pit encoder register, make sure the cable is long enough. When the installation is complete, the pit lid can be removed easily without straining the cable. Use only 22 AWG cable to make the connection from the encoder register to the MIU. Remove the terminal screw cover from the encoder register. Strip off ¾ inch of jacket from the cable, leaving only the three insulated wires. Take precautions not to nick or cut the insulation on the three wires, strip off ½ inch of insulation from each of the three wires. Figure 2 Wiring a Neptune Encoder Register CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide General Installation Guidelines Figure 3 MIU Color Code for Wires If required, connect the three conductor wires to the encoder register’s terminals per the manufacturer’s instructions. See Figure 2 and Figure 3. Thread the cable around the strain relief posts of the encoder. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Cable Threaded Around Strain Relief Posts Apply sealant liberally and ensure that it encapsulates the terminal screws and exposed wires. See Figure 5. Neptune requires Novaguard G661 sealant or Dow Corning compound 4. CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide General Installation Guidelines Figure 5 Application of the Sealant Any leak point can cause a reading failure in a submerged meter setting. Snap the cover onto the encoder register. See Figure 6. Figure 6 Covering the Terminal Screws 10 Run the cable to the MIU and fasten it securely. • • CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide Do not exceed maximum cable lengths as defined in “Specifications CMIU” on page 2. If the encoder register is prewired and potted, use Scotchloks for connecting the register to the MIU. 4 Wall Installation This chapter provides instructions for installing the CMIU. Installing the Cellular MIU Removing the Main Housing Complete the following steps to install the wall MIU. Remove the main housing from the mounting adapter. The Hi-Lo fastener for securing the main MIU housing to the adapter plate is shipped separately. Set screw Figure 7 Wall MIU Main Housing Cable StudyFigure 8 and the location requirements, then decide how to install the MIU and mount the adapter with set screw positioned at bottom. entry Pipe clamp Cable exit notch A variety of holes in the mounting adapter allows for a quick and easy installation. • The cable enters through the bottom or rear cable entry of the mounting adapter. • When the MIU replaces a receptacle, use the appropriate holes to allow reuse of the receptacle’s original mounting holes. SeeFigure 8. • When mounting the MIU to a pipe, use the bolt hole for pipe mounting to bolt the mounting adapter to a pipe clamp. Figure 8 Mounting Adapter CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide Wall Installation Applying the Scotchloks Using Scotchloks Gel Caps, connect the register wires to the pigtail from the MIU. SeeFigure 9. Pair the wires according to the color diagram in Figure 10. Gel caps Figure 9 Gel Cap Connections Figure 10 MIU Color Code for Wires Strain relief guide Slide the paired wires into the grooves provided until they seat into the back of the gel cap. Using an appropriate crimping tool, firmly squeeze the gel cap to ensure a good connection. Repeat this process until all connections are complete. For rear cable entry, store excess wire and Scotchloks in the hollow cavity in the back of the MIU using the strain relief guides as shown inFigure 11. Cable exit notch Figure 11 Cable in Back of Mounting Adapter CMIU Installation and Maintenance Guide Wall Installation Continue to guide the remaining wire through the cable exit notch at the bottom right side of the MIU as shown inFigure 12. Slide the tongue on the top of the MIU into the groove on the top of the mounting adapter. Secure the MIU to the mounting adapter using the set screw. SeeFigure 13. Position the magnet against the left side of the MIU directly in line with the Neptune logo, and swipe it bringing it from the side and around the corner to the top to activate the MIU. SeeFigure 14.
