USERS MANUAL

KT-24534 Proprietary and Confidential 05/29/2012 Tantalus Utility Network™ The TC-1120/1120-RD and TC-1220/1220-RD is a family of two-way 900 MHz LAN smart meter communication modules that are integrated into the Itron CENTRON® C2s family of electrical watthour meters. The CENTRON C2s metrology unit sends a blurt message that conforms to the ANSI C12.19 PSEM protocol to the communication module. The Tantalus LAN communication module delivers meter readings on request or on a programmed schedule for Time-of-Use and interval data applications. The LAN communication module also reports power outages and monitors power quality including voltage (plus sag/swell alarms) and momentary outages (blinks). Warning Energized meters, meter sockets and distribution lines present the risk of electrical shock. All work on this equipment should be performed by qualified metering specialists or industrial electricians. Personnel working with this equipment should follow all utility company established operation and safety procedures. Installation Instructions 1. Remove the existing meter from the meter socket and record the final reading per utility standard practice. 2. Inspect the meter socket jaws to ensure that they are in good condition. 3. Perform voltage checks, line-to-line and line-to-neutral, to ensure the voltage is at proper levels. 4. Visually inspect the meter. Ensure that the optical interface is secured in place on the meter base. 5. Install the meter and observe the Network Status LED to verify that a valid association candidate is found per the table on the reverse page. 6. Install the meter ring and seal. 7. Record the new meter number and initial reading per utility standard practice.
