Before You Begin The DIALOG® 3G endpoint (DTMW) is an RF transceiver used to communicate metered consumption data in Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems. 3G features an exclusive design that completely encapsulates the encoder electronics, transceiver, antenna, and batteries under the register glass. A design called ConnectionFree™. Chapter Description Chapter 1. Getting Started Provides an overview of the DTMW endpoint installation, including installation options, siting, and required tools.
Cautionary Note on Repairs & Modifications ATTENTION!: Attempts to repair a 3G endpoint by unauthorized personnel (any one other than a Master Meter factory certified professional) may subject the person to shock hazard scenario if removal of protective covers is attempted. Unauthorized repair may void the warranty and/or maintenance contract with your company. ATTENTION!: This unit cannot be modified and is not repairable. Modification of this device could cause non-compliance with FCC rules.

About 3G The 3G endpoint for water is an AMR module fully integrated into the meter register that actively records consumption data, data logs this information, and provides a vigilant suite of Revenue Impact Alerts – Leak, Theft, Tamper, and Zero Consumption. P e r f o r m a n c e : Consumption data is sent continually every 11 seconds in the unlicensed 902-928 MHz bandwidth at 63 mW power. An integral Real Time Clock (RTC) ensures consistency in the transmission cycle.
Configurations: 3G endpoints may be installed in the following ways: • Installed on a new Master Meter product, or by retrofitting a standard register on an existing meter. • Retrofitting competitor products with the 3G Interpeter by swapping off the bayonet mounted standard register and replacing it with the 3G.
Included Materials The following materials are supplied by Master Meter: • Standard 3G register (figure 1) Figure 1 Materials not Included • Mechanical tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and wrenches are not provided by Master Meter. • Manual labor required to install or replace exiting registers and meter components is not included.
Installation Process Chart New Meter Application Turn off water service Remove existing –or– in case of new construction, install new meter equipped with 3G register Restore water service. Check for leaks. 3G’s auto-activation technology begins as soon as water flows through the meter and turns register gearing.
