Invensys RadioRead

Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU). The wiring con-

nections are the same for both inside and pit set installations. Tech-

niques may be different for the actual MXU placement in each type of

installation.

MXU Model 510 - Installation Wiring Diagram

The MXU also requires proper programming of each port to match the

device that is connected to the respective port. Refer to Invensys Pro-

gramming Manual AMR-988.

The MXU wiring instructions assume the utility meter with an encoder

has been run to the MXU installation location. Three-conductor, 22

gauge, solid conductor cable is recommended. (For meter installation,

refer to the installation information included in Invensys meter shipping

cartons.)

1. Using the SR II security socket with ratchet wrench or nut driver,

open the MXU enclosure by removing SR II type security screw.

Bottom part of enclosure will contain the MXU battery and top part

the electronics and connection wires. Connect the three wires from

the encoder register or MultiRead module to the matching color

wires on the MXU and the desired port. If not already done, strip

approximately 2"

off outer jacket

of the encoder wire cable. The

wire colors for each unit should be

green

red

, and

black

. Insert two

matching color wire ends –

red

green

, and

black

into a UY-2 gel-cap with the color button of gel-cap facing

away. (This provides a better view of wire positions inside the clear

plastic gel-cap enabling the installer to see the wires are com-

pletely and properly inserted.)

Note: For the Schlumberger Proread encoder, the color coded

wire connections are not standard – For Proread, connect the

MXU red to Proread black, MXU green to Proread red, and MXU

black to Proread green.

Using gel-cap pliers, squeeze the gel-cap. This will splice the two

wires and release the waterproof gel to seal the connection. The

splice can be checked by pulling gently on the gel-cap while hold-

ing the wires to be sure they are tight and secure. Repeat Step 2

instructions for the remaining two wire connections. Repeat con-

nections to a second port, if required.

* If any of the wire connections are not being used they should

be capped at the end with a gel-cap. This is to prevent water

intrusion via wicking through the exposed wire ends. The

red

green

, and

black

wires must be gel-capped individually. The

green

with

white striped

TouchRead sensor wires can be gel-

capped together.

Note: A Schlumberger Proread (ARB VI) register must be con-

nected directly to an MXU port. The Proread register will not work

through a MultiRead module connected to an MXU.

2. Connect the battery to the MXU electronics. Using the gel-cap con-

necting technique described in Step 2 above, connect the

red

and

white stripe

wire from the battery to the

red

and

white stripe

wire

from the MXU electronics. Repeat the procedure for the

black

and

white stripe

wire from the battery to the

black

and

white stripe

wire

from the MXU.

Caution: DO NOT cross connect the black and white and red and

white stripe wires of the MXU and battery pack as this may cause

damage to the MXU electronics.

If using the optional TouchRead

connection, go to Step 3. If not,

skip to Step 4.

3. (Optional) TouchRead

Connection (available for Invensys register

encoders only) – The MXU includes a built-in TouchRead splitter

connection to allow the encoder register to be interrogated by both

RadioRead equipment and a remote TouchRead System sensor.

NSTRUCTIONS

The Model 510 MXU incorporates a two-port interface design. Hard-

wire connections to either port from a compatible utility meter or Multi-

Read module is the same for each port.

Note: the wiring is different when connecting a Schlumberger

Proread (ARB-VI) encoder to a port.

of 2 Wall Mount TouchPad – Using two-conductor or three-conductor wire cable and gel-caps, connect wires to each of the green and white stripe wires from the MXU. Note: If three-conductor wire cable is used, the third wire is not utilized for the TouchRead Connection. At the TouchPad connection, connect the same two wires to the terminal screws on the back of the TouchPad. Caution: Be sure there is no bare wire-to-wire contact.
