Single Port - Remote TouchCoupler
Installation
Remote TouchCoupler installations are an option when a direct
TouchCoupler (Sensus only) connection cannot be completed due
to physical limitations. Before proceeding with the installation of a
remote TouchCoupler application, be sure to find a location free
from obstacles that would interfere with the connection from the
TouchPad Cover to the MXU.

1. Perform a TouchRead on TouchPad(s) to insure TouchRead to
the encoder works.
2. For new installations of dual ports, find a suitable location for an
installation where two TouchPads can be installed that will be free
from interference. The optimum distance should be less than 12"
otherwise wires may require field splicing. (For existing TouchPad
connections and second port is added, select a location for the
second TouchPad installation that will be free from interference).
3. Determine which of the two TouchPads will use the TouchPad
Cover only and which will use the TouchCoupler unit as the pri-
mary connection.
Note: If TouchPad is not already installed, install TouchPad allowing
enough room for the TouchPad Cover to be securely placed over
the installed TouchPad.
4. Place the remote TouchPad Cover firmly over the Sensus Touch-
Pad until secured.
5. With the MXU door open, place the MXU over the second Touch-
Pad location and press firmly until unit is secured to the Touch-
Pad. For additional support (optional), pre-drill the holes
designed to fasten the unit to the wall. (Fastener holes are
located above the battery). Secure the unit to the wall with
screws.
Note: If not already installed, install the second TouchPad allowing
enough room to connect the MXU to the TouchPad.

the fastener holes.
3. Place the unit on the wall and align the pre-drilled holes with the
fastener locations.
4. Secure the unit to the wall with screws.
5. Strip wires prior to inserting into terminal strip.
6. Connect the wires from the register to the coordinating port termi-
nals in the MXU. Wire connections to terminal strip are red to red,
black to black, and green to green.

Note: For the Neptune ProRead encoder, the color coded wire
connections are not standard – For ProRead, connect the MXU red
to ProRead black, MXU green to ProRead red, and MXU black to
ProRead green.
7. Once all terminal connections are complete, close the door of the
MXU and tighten security screw until unit is firmly sealed.
8. Once the unit is closed and secured, begin the activation pro-
cess. (See Activate Radio section).
Note: if encoders or multiread modules are not connected to this radio,
the radio will not activate.
Once all meters are connected, the radio must be activated in order
for it to perform its function. To activate, using a TouchReader or
Model 4090 AutoGun, perform a TouchRead on the Programming/
TouchRead port (See picture below). To use TouchReader+ to acti-
vate, follow instructions below. During activation process, the radio
will determine what is connected to this unit automatically. This may
take up to 3-6 seconds depending if the unit is dual port capable
and what type of encoders are connected.
TouchReader+
1. If the TouchReader+ is not in Programmer Mode, press both Up
and Down arrow simultaneously to cycle through the different
modes.

2. Once in Programmer Mode, pictured below, use the Up/Down
arrows until ENABLE is displayed.
3. Place the TouchReader+ Sensor on the Programming port of the
radio and press the Read button. This will send a message to
the radio to start the activation process. Keep TouchReader+ in
place until complete – messages will appear on the screen.
4. Once complete, the TouchReader+ will beep once upon suc-
cess and display the radio’s status.
If unsuccessful, the radio will remain in an idle state and the
TouchReader+ will beep twice and display the radio’s status.
TouchReader
1. The TouchReader will beep once indicating that the radio
acknowledged the TouchRead and is now detecting the type of
register connection.
2. After waiting approximately 3 seconds, perform another
TouchRead, if a read error occurs, the radio is still in detect
mode. Repeat this step again in 3 more seconds if read error
occurs.
3. If port detection is successful, the reading unit should provide
either a TouchRead reading (Sensus only) or a single beep to
indicate that the encoder is connected.
Note: TouchRead is not supported on Neptune registers.
AutoGun (ID type set to Factory ID – see AutoGun manual for
instructions)
1. The AutoGun will beep and display the ID with a
“0”
at the end.
This indicates that the radio acknowledged that TouchRead is
in inactive/idle mode "0". This will start the detecting process.
2. After waiting approximately 3 seconds, perform another
TouchRead, if a read error occurs, the radio is still in detect
mode. Repeat this step again in 3 more seconds.
3. If successful detection, the AutoGun will display either a
TouchRead reading (Sensus only) or
•
ID: 1
– which means a TouchRead was attempted on an
unsupported meter (Neptune).
•
ID: 2
– which means that the port was configured for a meter
type that supports TouchRead (Sensus only) but there was no
response from the meter.
4. If unsuccessful detection, the TouchRead will start the activation
process again. The ID on the AutoGun will display
“0”
similar to
the step 1 above.
Note: Once the radio is activated and it detects the type of register con-
nection, the only way to change its configuration to the correct
type of register connection is to deactivate the radio using a pro-
gramming tool and then re-activate the radio or use a program-
ming tool to reprogram the port manually.
TouchReader+
1. If the TouchReader+ is not in Programmer Mode, press both Up
and Down arrow simultaneously to cycle through the different
modes.
2. Once in Programmer Mode, pictured below, use the Up/Down
arrows until Deact is displayed.
3. Place the TouchReader+ Sensor on the Programming port of the
radio and press the Read button. This will send a message to the
radio to start the deactivation process. Keep TouchReader+ in
place until complete – messages will appear on the screen.
4. Once complete, the TouchReader+ will beep once upon success
and display the radio’s status.
If unsuccessful, the radio will remain in an active state and the
TouchReader+ will beep twice and display the radio’s status.
