MTU Instructions
General Installation and Wiring Guidelines
Step 2 - Attach the spacer to the MTU
using #10-32 stainless steel screws, nuts
and washers. Tighten the screws to 12 to
15 in-lb. On a standard drill driver with 0
to 24 torque settings, this is typically the
#10 setting.
Step 3 - Wrap the tie wraps around the
bar as needed, pulling the ties around
(through the spacer plate) as they are
tightened.
Step 4 - Adjust the MTU as needed and
pull the tie wraps tight.
Step 5 - Trim off the excess tie wrap,
leaving about a ½” tab.
Step 6 – Once Installation is complete,
program the MTU using the STAR
Programmer Software and your MTU
Programmer.
Pit-Lid Mounting
For water or gas meters located in meter
pits, MTUs can be mounted to the lower
surface of the pit lid if an approved, non-
metallic pit lid is used. In these
applications, the MTU is mounted with it’s
front surface facing the bottom surface of
the lid, as shown below
Original Flatpak STAR MTU
When NEW Flatpak STAR MTUs are
mounted in this manner, spacers are
used between the MTU mounting tabs
and the lower surface of the pit lid, as
shown below.
