MARS SmartRadio Installation Guide

To ensure proper connection and resistance to water intrusion a
waterproof butt splice is required to connect the SmartTransmitter to the
meter register. The recommended type of connector is a Scotchlok™
connector. This type of connector is ideal because it provides a good
mechanical connection of the wires and a waterproofing gel that inhibits
water ingress.

This device is designed to be installed in a meter pit at or below ground
level. Professional installation by factory trained personnel is required for
proper use and reliable communication.
