TESTING
After connections are complete, test the entire installation including the
RTR, wiring, and remote module for proper operation in accordance
with the instructions supplied with the module.
Install the RTR on the water meter and secure it using the Torx screw
provided.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
An analog ohmmeter will show an "open" reading when connected
across the OUTPUT leads of the RTR. When operating the RTR, the
ohmmeter should show a momentary deflection toward zero when the
RTR sends a signal.
