Find your meter’s Power Factor on the face of the meter. Look for a number preceded by the letters Kh. This number is usually 7.2 for an electromechanical meter. Write this number in the box below. You will need it later (in section 06) when you program your Digital Display.

Power Factor =		(usually 7.2 Kh)

B. Prepare Your Meter Sensor

Make sure the batteries are installed in the Meter Sensor (and the

STATUS Indicator is flashing).

1.Open the Sensor Arm Latch Cover by pulling upward.

2.Extend the Sensor Arm to its full length by pulling on it gently, but firmly. If you accidentally pull it out completely, push it back into the casing.

3.Close the Sensor Arm Latch Cover.

1.Wipe the meter dome clean with the damp cloth.

2 .	Fit the Meter Sensor over your utility
	meter as shown, so that the Sensor Head
	sits as close as possible to the front of the
	glass dome.
3 .	Tighten the clamping strap until the Meter
	Sensor is snug, but can move just enough
	to allow for slight adjustments.
4 .	Position the Sensor A rm as shown to the
	right.

	Note: The Sensor A rm must be in line with
	the disc (use the line of the Sensor Arm as
	a reference) and the Sensor LEDs must be
	centered from side-to - side.
5 . Press the RESET button . Within 10
	seconds, the STATUS indicator will light
	solid red while the Meter Sensor looks
	for a signal from the meter.
6 .	When you have positioned the sensor
	a rm correctly, the red STATUS indicator
	will flash whenever the black stripe on

the meter wheel passes by. You may need to wait for several revolutions before seeing the indicator flash .

NOTE: To maximize batte ry life, the indicator stops flashing after about two minutes.

7.Tighten the clamp just enough so that the Meter Sensor cannot move.

Installation is complete! Go to page 16 Section 4.
