PIT INSTALLATIONS
Insert the entire splice assembly into the lled splice tube P/N 62085-
001 as indicated in Figure 6. Close the cover with leads exiting alternate
sides as indicated in the drawing.
TESTING
After connections are complete, test the entire installation including the
RTR, wiring, and remote or pit 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 ohm meter will show an "open" reading when connected
across the OUTPUT leads of the RTR. When operating the RTR, the
ohm meter should show a momentary deection toward zero when the
RTR sends a signal.
