7. Transmitter Information
The User and the Installer should be aware that changes and modifications to the equipment not
expressly approved by Master Meter could void warranty and the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Professionally trained personnel should install the equipment.
The Sonata is equipped with an internal antenna/transmitter and 1) must be installed at a minimum
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons, and 2) must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
8. FCC and Industry Canada Statements
The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1.) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2.) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3.) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4.) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC and Industry Canada statements
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
The device meets the exemption from the routine evaluation limits in section 2.5 of RSS-102 and
compliance with RSS-102 RF exposure, users can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure and
compliance.

9. Installation Requirements
1. Ensure that the connecting pipes are aligned (Figure 1).
2. Check for the proper distance between the pipe unions to avoid
mechanical stress. (Figure 2)
3. The meter may be installed in any orientation. (Figure 3) There are no
straight pipe requirements on the Sonata.
4. Always use new gaskets and ensure that the coupling nut surfaces are
clean.
Installation Notes
Do not install the meter on the suction side of a pipe.
Avoid exposing the meter to excessive vibration.
Support of the pipeline on both sides of the meter is recommended.
10. Installing the Sonata
1. Unpack the Sonata. Install/assemble accessories, is supplied, and as
needed.
2. Note the proper flow direction as indicated on the meter. The Sonata is a
bi-directional flow meter and will also measure reverse flow.
3. Install new gaskets in the coupling nut.
4. Place the meter in position and carefully tighten the coupling nuts by hand.
Make sure each coupling nut is smoothly screwed onto the meter threads.
Use a wrench to tighten the coupling nuts to a minimum torque setting of
10 lb-ft up to a maximum of 35 lb-ft. (Figure 4)
5. Once installed, open the upstream valve to allow water to fill the meter and
piping.
6. Open a downstream valve to flush all air out of the pipeline.
7. Close the downstream valve and verify that there are no leaks at the
coupling nuts.
11. Disposal
This product contains Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries. Local and national
regulations for proper battery disposal should be followed.
