1 2 Installation The E-Reg is designed for all environments and can be installed either in indoor or outdoor environments. The register is attached to the Metron water meter with a plastic housing as shown below. INSTALLATION & WIRING
2 2 Step 1 Fit the E-Reg inside the bottom housing as shown. The tabs will keep the E-Reg from slipping downward. Step 2 Place the top housing over the E-Reg and press downward until the top housing clicks into place.
3 2 Step 3 Start the screw into the separate slide crimp as shown below. The slide crimp will secure the bottom and top housings together. Do not fully tighten the screw at this point. Step 4 Place the E-Reg assembly on the water meter. Any MP3 or MP5 meter will have either a brass or plastic register plate for the attachment.
4 2 Step 5 Once the E-Reg assembly is loosely attached to the water meter, continue tightening the screw. The tightening will contract the bottom housing so the assembly is securely attached to the water meter.
5 2 Radio Option The E-Reg can be supplied with a optional M2w radio (E-Reg-R). This radio will be fully embedded within the E-Reg housing. The antenna is an integral circuit board that extends approximately 1 inch above the face of the E-Reg. There are no connections or wiring for the embedded M2w radio.

2 6 FCC Definitions Class A digital device. A digital device that is marketed for use in a commercial, industrial or business environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the general public or is intended to be used in the home. Class B digital device. A digital device that is marketed for use in a residential environment notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, personal computers, calculators, and similar electronic devices that are marketed for use by the general public. NOTE: The responsible party may also qualify a device intended to be marketed in a commercial, business or industrial environment as a Class B device, and in fact is encouraged to do so, provided the device complies with the technical specifications for a Class B digital device. In the event that a particular type of device has been found to repeatedly cause harmful interference to radio communications, the Commission may classify such a digital device as a Class B digital device, regardless of its intended use. For a Class A digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
