(optional) (optional) MXU Model 505 - Installation Wiring Diagram ENERAL INFORMATION :

The Model 505 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. AMR-970-R6 10f2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Invensys RadioRead Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU) LS 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. UES Ni Ales ai estecs The MXU wiring instructions assume the utility meter with an encoder register or MultiRead module has been installed and the proper wire 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.) 4. 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 to red, green to green, and black to 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 Schiumberger 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 ba con-

nected directly toan 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. Le et AMR-970-R6 2o0f2 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. (The TouchRead connection is non-polarity sensitive and will work as long as the same color wires are used at both ends of the connection.

#f three-conductor wire is used, be sure the third dead wire is not mistakenly connected at either end.) Repeat the connections for a second port if required. Pit-set Mount Sensor The TouchRead pit-set sensor includes a factory-sealed three-conductor wire cable. Proper wire connections are therefore important. To activate the pit-set TouchRead sensor, use only the red and black wires from the sensor. Approximately 2 of the cables outer jacket must be stripped from its end to access these wires. Then, using gel-caps, connect the black wire from the sensor to one of the green and white stripe wires from the MXU. Next, connect the red wire frorn ihe sensor to the other green and white stripe wire from the MXU. Repeat the connections for a sec-

ond port if required. Note: When connecting a Schlumberger Proread (ARB VI) register directly to an MXU port, the TouchRead splitter feature is not available. Verify MXU operation prior to final assembly: To verify RadioRead teading, use Radio Frequency Solid State Interrogator (RFSSI) or Vehicle Transceiver (VXU) to display the register odometer read-

ing(s), register ID number(s), and MXU ID number. (For AMR trou-

bleshooting, refer to bulletin AMR-309.)

-To verify TouchRead reading, use a TouchRead visual reader to display register odometer reading(s) and register ID number(s}. If MXU does not function, check ail wire connections, re-do the connections or change battery pack. (For complete TouchRead installation and troubleshooting, see installation bulletins: TR-728, TR-997, and TR-998.) After wiring connections are completed and MXU operation is veri-

fied, align guides of top and bottom parts of MXU and close, bring-

ing the connection wire(s) out the front side, using the wire pass-

thru guides located on either side of the security screw. Secure the top and bottom parts of the MXU using the security screw. Caution: DO NOT over-tighten security screw. XU MOUNTING INSTRUCTION For Wall Mounting: (Indoors and Outdoors) 1. Using MXU mounting bracket, find a convenient location for the MXU mounting. It is recommended that the MXU be mounted in an upright position so the top part with the Invensys logo is facing up:

The MXU mounting bracket can be mounted to a wall using screws or fastened to an object using heavy duty wire ties. Grooves have been placed in the back of the bracket for mounting on either hori-

zontal or vertical (existing) pipes. After mounting MXU bracket, snap the MXU (which should already be wired as noted in the preceding wiring instructions) into the bracket. Be sure the locating tabs on either side of the MXU have snapped into position in the mounting bracket.The installation is now complete. Invensys Metering Systems P.O. Box 487 450 N.

TouchPad Mounting (Optional) If mounting the MXU outdoors and a TouchRead TouchPad connection is to be included, mounting holes can be drilled in the side of the MXU bracket. Using short screws or plastic rivets, mount the TouchPad to the side of the MXU bracket. Caution: When using screws, be sure they do not penetrate the MXU enclosure when mounting the TouchPad. The TouchPad can also be mounted in a location away from the MXU. Be sure to use screws that are designed for and applicable to the mounting surface. For Pit Set Mounting:

1. Use 1/2 EMT. Select a location for the conduit where the MXU's installed position will not interfere with the meter and allow the MXU to be located as high as possible inside the meter box. The MXU should be kept approximately 1" from the sides of the meter box and positioned so the meter register odometer remains visible for visual confirmation readings. Conduit mounting method calls for driving a length of conduit into the ground at the bottom of the meter box. (If the bottom of the meter box does not have an open-

ing sufficient for driving the conduit vertically into the ground below, a different mounting method may need to be developed.) Place driver on conduit and strike with hammer, driving conduit down-

ward until it is at the desired height. The correct height should be at the point the driver is Jevel with the top of the meter box in most cases. When completely installed, the top of the MXU should be about 1" below the meter box lid. 2. After installation of conduit, position the opening located in the bot-

tom of MXU over the conduit and press into place. Place meter box cover (lid) into position. Pit set installation is now complete. 3. TouchRead Sensor Mounting (Optional) If installing a TouchRead pit-set module follow the TR/PL mounting instructions on Invensys bulletin TR-997 for mounting in the meter box tid. Place meter box cover (lid) into position with the TR/PL sensor in place.

Invensys Wiese TaN IRIE GENERAL The following information is a guide to troubleshooting a suspected malfunctioning meter transceiver unit (MXU). Review these procedures prior to returning an MXU for evaluation. This is a general guide for troubleshooting an MXU. For MXU installa-

tion procedures, please refer to installation bulletin AMR-970 as most recently revised. NECESSARY TOOLS AND MATERIALS The following should be available when troubleshooting an MXU:

sRi security screw socket with 1/4 inch nut driver or ratchet wrench 3M Scotchlok UY or UY2 butt connector gel-caps 3M Scotchlok E-9Y stepped jaw crimping tool with wire cutter MXU interrogation device (RFSSI with MXU Programmer application loaded, or VXU) A functioning invensys absolute encoder (test encoder) Extra MXU battery pack(s) Extra MXU(s) Voltmeter (optional) al 2

SB] 08) al 2) 3 go PROCEDURES If you find an MXU to be inoperable after being installed, please follow the troubleshooting steps below. Perform these steps at the installation site. First, ensure that the MXU is no closer than 4 feet to the next MXU. MXUs must be installed at least 4 feet apart to minimize the effects of RF interference between devices. Where such a configuration is needed, a model 505 (and MultiRead Module if necessary) is recommended. If the MXU is not within four feet of the next device proceed to Step 1. 1. If using STRIPES software with a VXU, change the reading cycle by selecting RouteManager and Edit Class/Cycle. The reading cycle is used to disable MXUs that have already been read during the current cycle from being interrogated a second time. A value of 0 is a universal cycle that forces all units to respond. The cycle range is from 0 to 255. MXUs are shipped with the following default:

Cycle = 0. After changing the cycle attempt to read. If the MXU fails to respond proceed to Step 2. Using an RFSSI or a VXU, reset the proper MXU port (Model 505 only), class, and password settings by reprogramming the MXU. If using an RFSSI, refer to Invensys SSI Programming User's Man-

ual (AMR-986). If using a VXU, select Configuration, VXU & MXU Parameters, Program MXU. Port options include: Invensys ECR; Not Used; MultiRead. or ARB Vi (Schlumberger ProRead Encoder). MXUs are shipped with the following default settings: Port 1 - Invensys ECR and Port 2 - Not Used. Select the proper port settings. nN Class codes are used to identify a group of MXUs. By identifying a group of MXUs with a class code, the user can interrogate a spe-

cific group of devices. MXUs that have a different class code will not respond to the interrogation unit. The class code range is from 0 to 31. MXUs are shipped with the following default: Class code =

0. Select the proper class code. Password codes are used to identify all of a utility's MXUs. Typi-

cally each utility assigns the same password to all its devices. AMR-309-R3 10f2 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU)

Other utilities in the same region would presumably have a different Password to prevent the interrogation unit of one utility from reading the MXUs of another. The password range is from 1 to 1023. MXUs are shipped with a default password of 1. Select the proper pass-

word. After verifying the proper settings by reprogramming the MXU, attempt a reading. if test fails, proceed to Step 3 3. Troubleshoot MXU by loosening the SRII security screw. After opening MXU, verify that all wiring connections for each port (if using a MultiRead Module, check all connections), TouchRead con-

nection, and battery pack are correct by color code. Also verify the strength of the connections by lightly pulling on each gel-cap. Make sure no bare wires can be seen in or around the gel-cap. Wires should not be stripped prior to installing a gel-cap. If any wires are not connected properly to the encoder, disconnect the black-and-

white stripe battery wire connection first by cutting the wire just below the gel-cap connection. Then cut off the gel-cap for the bad encoder connection and reconnect using the proper wire and new gel-cap. Reconnect the battery using a new gel-cap. After verifying all connections, attempt a reading while the device is still open. If test passes, close the MXU and tighten the SRII security screw. If test fails proceed to Step 4.

dure for the red-and-white wire. Strip off some of the wire jacket on each wire. At the TouchPad connection, connect the same two wires to the ter-

minal screws on the back of the TouchPad. Caution: Be sure there is no bare wire-to-wire contact. (The TouchRead connection is non-potarity sensitive and will work as fong as the same color wires are used at both ends of the con-

nection. If three-conductor wire is used, be sure the third dead wire is not mistakenly connected at either end.) Pit-set Mount Sensor The TouchRead pit-set sensor includes a factory-sealed three-conductor wire cable. Proper wire connections are therefore important. To activate the pit-set TouchRead sensor, use only the red and black wires from the sensor. Approximately 2 of cable's outer jacket must be stripped from its end to access these wires. Then, using gel-caps, connect the black wire from the sensor to one of the green and white stripe wires from the MXU. Next, connect the red wire from the sensor to the other green and white stripe wire from the MXU. a AMR-309-R3 2012 LL 0 5. Verify MXU operation prior to final assembly:

To verify RadioRead reading, use Radio Frequency Solid State Interrogator (RFSSI) or Vehicle Transceiver (VXU) to display the register odometer reading, register ID number, and MXU ID number. To verify TouchRead reading, use a TouchRead visual reader to display register odometer reading and register ID number. If MXU does not function, check all wire connections, re-do the connections or change battery pack. (For complete TouchRead installation and troubleshooting, see installation bulletins: TR-

728, TR-997, and TR-998.) 6. After wiring connections are completed and MXU operation is veri-

fied, align guides of top and bottom parts of MXU and close, bring-

ing the connection wire(s) out the front side using the wire pass-

thru guides located on either side of the security screw. Secure the top and bottom parts of the MXU using the security screw. Caution: DO NOT over-tighten security screw. For Wall Mounting: (Indoors and Outdoors) 1. Using MXU mounting bracket, find a convenient location for the MXU mounting. It is recommended that the MXU be mounted in an upright position so the top part with the Invensys logo is facing up. The MXU mounting bracket can be mounted to a wall using screws or fasteners to an object using heavy duty wire ties. Grooves have been placed in the back of the bracket for mounting on either hori-

zontal or vertical (existing) pipes. 2. After mounting MXU bracket, snap the MXU (which should already be wired as noted in the preceding wiring instructions) into the bracket. Be sure the locating tabs on either side of the MXU have snapped into position in the mounting bracket. The installation is now complete. 3. TouchPad Mounting (Optional) If mounting the MXU outdoors and a TouchRead TouchPad connection is to be included, mounting holes can be drilled in the side of the MXU bracket. Using short screws or plastic rivets, mount the TouchPad to the side of the MXU bracket. Caution: When using screws, be sure they do not penetrate the MXU enciosure when mounting the TouchPad. The TouchPad can also be mounted in a location away from the MXU., Be sure to use Screws that are designed for and applicable to the mounting sur face. For Pit-Set Mounting:

1. Use 1/2" EMT. Select a location for the conduit where the MXU's installed position will not interfere with the meter and allow the MXU to be located as high as possible inside the meter box. The MXU should be kept approximately 1" from the sides of the meter box and positioned so the meter register odometer remains visible for visual confirmation readings. Conduit mounting method calls for driving a length of conduit into the ground at the bottom of the meter box. (If the bottom of the meter box does not have an open-

ing sufficient for driving the conduit vertically into the ground below, a different mounting method may need to be developed.) Place driver on conduit and strike with hammer, driving conduit downward until it is at the desired height. The correct height should be at the point the driver is level with the top of the meter box in most cases. When completely installed, the top of the MXU should be about 1 below the meter box lid. 2. After installation of conduit, position the 1/2" opening located in the bottom of MXU over the conduit and press into place. Place meter box cover (lid) into position. Pit-set installation is now complete. 3. TouchRead Sensor Mounting (Optional) {f installing a TouchRead pit-set module follow the TR/PL mounting instructions on Invensys bulletin TR-997 for mounting in the meter box lid. Place meter box cover (lid) into position with the TR/PL sensor in place.
