INSTALLING THE WIRE-END FIREFLY
1. Refer to Appendix C : Meter Qualification to determine wire connection for the brand
and model of meter.
2. Connect FIREFLY Wire-end to meter contacts using Posi-lock connector or Gel caps.
3. Use 3M mastic pads to cover the wire connections. Make sure mastic pad forms a
complete seal around the wire connections.
4. Mount the FIREFLY to an appropriate wall, stake, or through hold in the meter box /
vault lid.
If using a stake, affix the stake in the ground adjacent to the meter register. The
platform area of the pole should be facing inward.
Position the transmitter on the pole platform.
5. Position the FIREFLY MIU with the threaded neck pointing up.
6. Attach the transmitter to the pole with the binding material.
Note: Do not connect
a multi-meter, probe
or other interrogating
device to the
FIREFLY wires.
Doing so can cause
the unit to globally
reset, erasing all
programmed data!
