1 Product Description

This section provides a general description of the R450 Meter Interface Unit (sub­sequently referred to as R450 MIU or MIU).

The R450 MIU by Neptune is a compact electronic device that collects meter read­ing data from an encoder register. It then transmits the data for collection.

The R450 MIU is easily installed and requires an Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) license to operate.

Figure 1 Wall MIU Figure 2 Pit MIU

Product Description

R450 MIU Programming

The MIU is NOT field programmable. At the factory, each of the following items are
programmed into the MIU:

Serial numbers – Each MIU is given two unique serial numbers/identification num­bers (two IDs for compound units). Even numbers are given to the single registers
and odd numbers are given to a two-networked registers unit. Custom serial num
bers are not available.

RF Protocol Error Detection

The RF protocol is comprised of a header, data packet, and an error detection

mechanism that reduces the erroneous data.

Low Battery RF Emissions

The MIU stops RF transmissions when the battery discharges below the normal
operating voltage.

Safety and Preliminary Checks

Observe the following safety and preliminary checks before and during each instal­lation:

• Verify that you are at the location specified on the Site Work Order.

• Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment.

• Notify the customer of your presence and tell the customer that you will need
access to the water meter.

• If the Site Work Order does not have an MIU ID number on it, write in the ID
number(s) of the MIU you are about to install. If the Site Work Order already
has an MIU ID number on it, verify that it matches the ID numbers on the MIU
you are about to install.

Verifying/Preparing the Encoder Register

This R450 MIU is designed for use with the following encoder registers:

utility

• ARB III, IV, and V

Receiving and recording informa­tion about the work site

Before installing an MIU, the encoder register must be correctly wired and/or pro­grammed to work with the MIU. ProRead (ARB VI) encoder registers do not
require programming.

When a ProRead (ARB VI) encoder register is used, the non-AutoDetect ProRead (ARB VI) register
must be programmed for three-wire mode.

6 R450 Wall and Pit MIU User’s Manual

• ProRead (ARB VI)

• ProRead AutoDetect

• E-Coder (ARB VII)

• Invensys ECRII, ECR III *

*when programmed in ECR II 6-wheel format

If connecting the MIU to a new ProRead (ARB VI) encoder register, or if a three­conductor cable is already connected to a ProRead (ARB VI) encoder register,
ensure that the ProRead (ARB VI) register is programed for three-wire mode using
the ProRead (ARB VI) programmer and its RF/MIU 6, 8, or 10ID TDI format. This
can be accomplished through the ProRead (ARB VI) receptacle before removing
the receptacle.

Installation of at Register (Non Pre-Wired or Potted Only )

1 Before wiring the pit encoder register, make sure the cable is long enough.

Then, when the installation is complete, the pit lid can be removed easily with
out straining the cable.

2 Use only 22 AWG cable to make the connection from the encoder register to

the MIU.

3 Remove the terminal screw cover from the encoder register.

4 Strip off 3/4” of jacket from the cable, leaving only the three insulated wires.

General Installation Guidelines

-

5 Taking precautions not to nick or cut the insulation on the three wires, strip off

1/2” of insulation from each of the three wires.

4 Replacing the MIU Battery (Wall and Pit)

Follow these steps to change-out the pit R450 MIU’s internal battery:

Removing the Battery

1 Slowly remove the pit lid.

Because the MIU is connected to both the antenna
in the pit lid and the meter in the pit base, take care
not to strain the cable when removing the lid.

2 Remove the transmitter cover by removing the two Phillips head

crews located inside the back cavity of the main housing.
(See Figure 9.)

3 Lift the transmitter cover from the MIU.

4 Remove the battery casing from the main housing by inserting a flat-

head screwdriver and dislodging the battery from the battery com
partment. (See Figure 10.)

When removing the battery, it may be helpful to press on the connected
end while prying the other end.

Cutting and Splicing the Battery Wires

1 As close to the battery casing as possible, cut the battery

connection wires one at a time. See

2 Insert battery wire left in MIU ensuring insulation has not

been compromised.

Cutting the battery connection wires one at a time
prevents shorting.
Ensure the R450 MIU’s black wire is connected to the
black wire on the new battery (-) and the red wire is
connected to the red wire on the new battery (+).

3 Use Scotchlok to splice the wires from the new battery

casing to the wires that were connected to the old battery
casing. See

4 Be sure to carefully position wires and Scotchloks into

compartment in space available next to battery as shown

Figure 13, making sure the wires are not pinched when

in
the battery is snapped into the MIU housing.
