8.You can now view selected parameter values on the display by using the scroll switch. The scroll switch is activated by the use of a magnet (one is shipped with the unit). See Display Mode, in Chapter 3, for information about this function.

POWER FOR THE MTEK6000

Two 4.5V alkaline battery packs (part # 1011-0035C-001) supply operating power to the device for approximately two years of typical operation. Recommended operating temperature range for the MTEK6000 when powered with these packs is –4 F (-20 C) to 130 F (54 C). If this supply should fail, an on-board back-up battery will maintain the unit's memory and real time clock. Backup power can maintain history data for up to seven years. When back-up power is used, the unit discontinues normal operation until the main battery pack is replaced.

Note that only one power source powers the MTEK6000; connection of battery packs to a unit configured for external power does not provide an additional source of backup power for the unit.

Optional Power Supplies

Several optional supplies are available:

A. Two Single-D Lithium battery packs - (part # 1011-0039B-001) provides an approximate life expectancy of two years over the temperature range -220F (-300C) to 1580 F (70 0 C). Each 3.6V, 13.0 AH battery pack can be used individually (~ 1yr life) or as a pair.

B.MTEK6000 UPS power supply - an un- interruptible 12 VDC power supply with battery back up.

C.SPS 50 solar system - 10 to 64 W systems available with battery backup; while selected system size depends on geographic location, degree of sun exposure, equipment power consumption, and site obstructions, most MTEK6000 applications only require a 10W system.

MOUNTING THE INSTRUMENT ON THE METER

1.Check the meter's rotation direction. Standard setup is clockwise rotation of the meter output shaft, as viewed from the top. The rotation of the unit can be changed to counterclockwise. Also, the input drive value for the unit can be changed.

2.Align the instrument's index base plate holes with the corresponding holes in the meter's index base plate. Secure the unit by bolting it to the meter. Ensure that the drive dogs are correctly aligned and not binding.

3.Plug all unused holes in the index base plate with the caps provided in the accessory package.
