GENERAL

This leaflet contains instructions for the Honeywell Water 4.0 module for use on water meters to provide readings to the
EnergyAxis® and SynergyNet systems. For proper installation and maximum life of the modules, use the following procedures.

The Honeywell Water 4.0 module can be installed as a wall or pipe mount. Honeywell also provides a pit mount version of the
Water 4.0 module. The wall mount is mounted to a mostly flat surface such as a wall or other surface. See “Wall mount” on
page 2 for specific instructions. The pipe mount consists of hardware to mount the module to a pipe. See “Pipe mount” on
page 3 for specific instructions.

Familiarize yourself with the location and identification of the terminals on your water meter registers before any installation
procedure.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS PERFORMANCE & MOUNTING

The Honeywell Water 4.0 module is designed to provide excellent radio communications performance when it is mounted such
that the front surface arrows point up. Alternate mounting orientations may impair radio communications performance.

All Water modules are shipped with their radio in a deep sleep mode. To activate the radio and program the register interface,
use Honeywell’s Installer software.

REMOTE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WALL MOUNT

The Honeywell Water 4.0 module can be mounted on a wall close to the water meter. To assist placing the enclosure on the
hanging screw, the enclosure has hash marks that will help you properly align the module.

The cable from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module and the water meter register should not exceed 100 feet (30 meters).

1 Remove the remote mount cover from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module.

Be sure to connect the cables correctly. Failing to properly connect the cables may prevent the module from installing
correctly. For information on proper connections, see “Connection instructions” on page 1.

2 For proper operation of the module, connect the cables as described in “Connection instructions” on page 1.

- If you do not have an inline connector, splice the cables from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module to the water meter
register cable using weatherproof gel caps (for example, 3M style UY2 IDC). Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
directions for wire preparation when using gel caps.

Insert the cable back into the Honeywell Water 4.0module, making sure to provide strain relief for the cable. Be sure to
securely fashion the cable by using the cable tie, as illustrated in the next figure.

Be sure that the arrows are as closely aligned as possible before mating. Failing to properly align the arrows may result in
damage to the connector, requiring a replacement of either the connector or the module itself.

- If you have an inline connector, align the arrows on both connector ends. Press firmly to fully mate the connectors (see
next figure).

3 Reattach the remote mount cover to the Honeywell Water 4.0 module.

4 Hang the Honeywell Water 4.0 module on the hanger screw, making sure it is level.

5 Screw 2 screws into the 2 bottom supporting screw mounts.

6 Using the table in “Connection instructions” on page 1, connect the appropriate wires to the correct terminals on the water

meter register. Typically, the connection is made by placing the wire under the screw terminal and tightening down securely.
See the product documentation for your water meter register for more information.

7 When you have completed the installation, secure the Honeywell Water 4.0 enclosure by inserting the tamper plugs into

bottom supporting screw mounts.

PIPE MOUNT

The Honeywell Water 4.0 module can be mounted on a pipe close to the water meter. The pipe mounting option uses a hose
clamp and mounting bracket to attach the Honeywell Water 4.0module to a pipe.

The cable from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module to the water meter register should not exceed 100 feet (30 meters).

1 Remove the remote mount cover from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module.

2 Align the mounting bracket to the remote mount cover and secure the mounting bracket with screws.

Be sure to connect the cables correctly. Failing to properly connect the cables may prevent the module from installing
correctly. For information on proper connections, see “Connection instructions” on page 1.

3 For proper operation of the module, connect the cables as described in “Connection instructions” on page 1.

- If you do not have an inline connector, splice the cables from the Honeywell Water 4.0 module to the water meter
register cable using weatherproof gel caps (for example, 3M style UY2 IDC). Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
directions for wire preparation when using gel caps.

Insert the cable back into the Honeywell Water 4.0 module, making sure to provide strain relief for the cable. Be sure to
securely fashion the cable by using the cable tie, as illustrated in the next figure.
