The following section contains installation and wiring instructions for the Leviton Mini Meter
in indoor Surface Mount enclosure. If technical assistance is required at any point during
the installation, contact information can be found at the end of this manual. Leviton is not
responsible for damage to the meter caused by incorrect wiring, which will void the product’s
warranty.
WARNING:
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse
and test that the power is off before installing product or servicing current transformers.
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH; Look inside the meter and electrical panel for
possible exposed wire, broken wire, damaged components or loose connections.
• Make sure all tools used during installation have proper installation ratings.
• Installations should be done in accordance with local codes and current National
Electric Code requirements, and performed by trained, qualified professionals.
• Equipment used in a manner not specified by this document impairs the protection
provided by the equipment.
CAUTIONS:
• Verify the model number and electrical specifications of the device being installed to
confirm they are appropriate for the intended electrical service
(see Section 3).
• Consult local codes for any possible permits or inspections required before beginning
electrical work.
• Like repeaters, MDTs should not be mounted inside a metal box or near a metal wall
(i.e. heating furnace or electrical panel). Consult the Tehama QuickStart Guide, which
can be downloaded from the manufacturers website.
• MDTs must be mounted using velcro, tie-wraps, or screws. Don’t let the MDT
dangle by the pulse input wire.
• Avoid locations with dampness, high humidity, or an abundance of mold.
• Ensure the conduit for the installation is flexible and non-metallic. For outdoor
applications conduit and conduit fittings must be rated UL Type 4X for outdoor
enclosures. Failure to use the appropriate conduit impairs the degree of equipment
protection.

Two flat-head screws that secure the enclosure front may be covered with
adhesive-type security seals that indicate tampering when removed. Also, some
models provide a tamper indication through the wireless AMR system when
enclosure cover is removed.
2.6 Functional Description
The 6PSMT and MMSMT versions of the Mini Meter accurately quantifies electrical
energy usage of 1PH 3W (2-pole) 120/208V or 120/240V loads. Solid Core Current
Transformers are used to measure current flowing to a load. Energy information
(pulses) is recorded by the onboard wireless transceiver, which time stamps kWh
readings in 15-minute intervals and sends it over a secure wireless network to a Data
Concentrating Access Point (DCAP), where data from a network of meters is stored
for on a local computer for billing or energy management functions, or data can be
pushed from the DCAP or pulled from remote locations via an ethernet connection.

5.1 MDT Transceiver Wiring
Built into MMSMT models is a wireless Meter Data Transceiver (MDT) as shown in
MDT Power and Pulse input are pre-wired to isolated pulse output terminals:
• Power: Red wire to meter terminal +12 VDC and black to terminal counter.
• Meter Pulse Input: Green wire to terminal 10 and black to ISOL COM.
• Tamper Switch: White and black to tamper proof micro-switch.
Figure 2. Six wires connect between transceiver and the Mini Meter. The transceiver
logs and time stamps accumulated pulses in 15 minute intervals and sends the data
via a mesh network of transceivers and repeaters (if required) to a Data Concentrating
Access Point (DCAP). Repeaters and DCAPs are sold separately.
