Positioning:

• Can be installed horizontally (preferred, register on top) or vertically (flow upward only).
• Avoid mounting with register pointing down – water may enter electronics.

Commissioning

• Verify zero reading before connecting to supply.
• Run a known volume to validate register accuracy (e.g., bucket test) and check for leaks.
• Confirm encoder/communication handshake with reading system; check route/registration in AMR/AMI software.
• Record meter serial number, initial reading, and installation details.

5. Operation and Maintenance (O&M)

Start-Up Procedure:

1. Ensure the meter is properly installed and the battery connection (if applicable) or the activate switch is engaged.
2. Open the downstream shut-off valve slowly to fill the meter.
3. Open the upstream valve slowly to prevent water hammer.
4. Verify the LCD display is active and showing zero flow (or flow if water is running).

Troubleshooting Common Error Codes:

• Blank Display: Indicates battery depletion or a connection issue. (Note: In extreme cold, the display may temporarily freeze; it will recover when temperatures rise).
• Empty Pipe Error: The sensor is not fully submerged in water. Check for air in the lines.
• Low Battery Warning: Indicates the remaining battery life is below threshold; schedule replacement if the register module allows, or replace the meter unit.
