Product Description
The RT-2200, a key component of the Tantalus Utility Network, is a transceiver, which is
designed to collect data from the surrounding meters and deliver it from a single point, using
Tantalus’ ultra-efficient burst-mode technology, which enables a large number of short data
packets to be delivered at high speeds over the network.
The RT-2200 sits behind a TC-2200-equipped meter and provides two-way communications
between the Network Controller (utility) and the meter (customer).
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Tantalus provides two-way, real-time data communications networks to monitor and control
electric utilities. Our long-range wireless networks unite a utility’s applications, making meter
reading, load management, and distribution automation cost-effective and practical throughout
urban and rural service areas.
The Tantalus Utility Network uses long-range 220 MHz spectrum to deliver valued applications
such as outage management, power quality monitoring, meter reading, load management, and
distribution automation to utilities. The Network provides robust two-way communications
throughout a utility’s diverse service territory – including residential, commercial, and industrial.

Installing the RT-2200
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.
BEFORE
YOU
BEGIN
1. Advise the customer to turn off any sensitive electronic equipment including computers,
stereos, televisions, etc.
2. Tell the customer that the power will be off for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
Note: For safety reasons, we recommend you attach a clear meter
socket cover with a meter ring to the front of the RT-2200 unit prior to
installation.
INSTALL
THE
RT-2200
3. Remove the existing meter from the meter socket.
4. Inspect the “jaws” of the meter socket to ensure that they are in good working condition
(ie: the jaws should not be spread too far apart).
[insert diagram of acceptable and unacceptable “jaws”)
5. Perform a voltage check, a line-to-line check, and a line-to-neutral check to ensure the
voltage is at proper levels.
6. Visually inspect the back of the RT-2200 unit to ensure the power pins on the front and
back are secure and everything is in place.

7. Grasp the RT-2200 unit on the top left and bottom right corners and plug it into the
meter socket firmly.

9. Check the Communication LED at the bottom of the RT unit to ensure full two-way
communication with the NC-2200.

The RT-2200 does not power up.
Remove the RT unit and replace it with
another one.
The RT-2200 powers up but does not
appear to find a Tantalus channel.
Remove the RT unit and replace it with
another one.
The RT-2200 finds the Tantalus channel
but does not appear to be addressed by
the controller.
Contact the NC-2200 Administrator to
verify that the unit is being installed and
has been registered in the database. If it
has not been registered, ask that it be
registered now. Also, ask the
Administrator to set the power level at
maximum and the RT channel ID to the
correct channel.
INSTALL

10. Once full two-way communication is verified, install the meter equipped with a TC-2200
into the meter socket of the RT-2200.

11. Make sure the TC-2200 powers up to full two-way communication by checking the LED
indicator.

The TC-2200 does not power up (ie: the
LED does not turn on).
Remove the TC-2200 equipped meter
and use another unit.
The TC-2200 powers up but does not
appear to establish communications with
the RT-2200.
Remove the TC-2200 equipped meter
and use another unit.
COMPLETE
THE
INSTALLATION
12. Once communication between the TC and RT units is established, install a meter ring and
seal to secure the meter to the RT-2200 unit.
