MARS SmartRadio Installation Guide
To ensure proper connection and resistance to water intrusion a
waterproof butt splice is required to connect the SmartTransmitter to the
meter register. The recommended type of connector is a Scotchlok™
connector. This type of connector is ideal because it provides a good
mechanical connection of the wires and a waterproofing gel that inhibits
water ingress.
This device is designed to be installed in a meter pit at or below ground
level. Professional installation by factory trained personnel is required for
proper use and reliable communication.

Installation Steps
1. Refer to the table above for wiring color codes.
2. While holding the Scotchlok™ connector with the button facing
down, insert un-stripped wires fully into connector.
3. Once seated, use a crimper and firmly squeeze the connector until
you hear a snap and gel seeps out of the end of the connector.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other two
pair of wires and test to ensure
the Smart
Transmitter is transmitting properly.
