Utilize the pass-thru port for connecting to an AMI/AMR system
with either a 3-wire or 2-wire connection. Ensure proper wiring for
seamless integration.
Displaying Metering Data:
The display provides various metering data including gallon
registration, cubic foot registration, battery voltage indication,
meter serial number, and more. Use the display to monitor these
metrics effectively.
Wiring Instructions:
Follow the color-coding scheme provided for meter and utility
AMI/AMR terminal block hookup to ensure correct wiring. Make
adjustments as necessary based on the manufacturer’s
specifications.
FAQ:
Q: Can The Meter Display be used with any water meter?
A: The Meter Display requires a meter with 7/8/9 digit
registration, preferably a 9-digit registration meter. It also
requires Kamstrup FlowIQ with Sensus Extended Alarms for
compatibility.
Q: What if the display shows “meter not detected” despite
proper wiring?
A: If the display reports meter not detected, try all possible
wire color-coding combinations on terminals 1, 2, 3. If issues
persist, contact customer support for further assistance.

SCADAMETRICS®
The Meter DisplayTM
Model TMD US Patent No. 11,041,738
The Industry’s Most Revolutionary Remote Display for Water Meters Ever!
Not just `a’ meter display The Meter DisplayTM!
SCADAmetrics is pleased to introduce the new remote display for water meters that offers every feature one could ever want! including the ability to work in conjunction with a co-connected AMI/AMR endpoint!
In the past, Meter Owners have been precluded from installing a remote wall display whenever the water meter’s signal cable was already connected to an endpoint. However, because The Meter Display is outfitted with an integral pass-thru port, it can co-exist with an AMI/AMR system. And the pass-thru port is always functional, even if the battery is depleted or removed!
The Meter Display is compatible with every late-model, encoder-type water meter in North America including those from Sensus, Neptune, Metron-Farnier, Mueller, Kamstrup, Badger, Master Meter, RG3, Zenner, Elster-AMCO, McCrometer, and many others!
Permitting If the meter is owned by the water utility, we recommend that you first contact its engineering department for permission!

Wiring Notes:
1. With the exceptions of Neptune Technology Group and Elster-AMCO (aka Honeywell, ABB, Kent), most meter manufacturers follow the Sensus wire color-coding scheme.
2. Meter Terminal Block Hookup (Terminals 1,2,3): Apply the color-coding that pertains to the manufacturer of the Water Meter (or manufacturer of the Specialty Cable, such as Nicor or Itron).
3. Utility AMI/AMR Terminal Block Hookup (Terminals 4,5,6): Apply the color-coding that pertains to the manufacturer of the AMI/AMR Endpoint (or manufacturer of the Specialty Cable, such as Nicor or Itron).
4. Alternative color-coding: manufacturers occasionally substitute a WHITE wire for a GREEN wire.
5. If the recommended wiring has been attempted, and the display still reports “meter not detected”, then re-try using each of the six possible wire color-coding combinations on terminals 1,2,3.

QUICK-START GUIDE
Physical Installation (Must Read!):
1. TheMeterDisplayTM is designed as an indoor/outdoor unit (but never submerged!), capable of being opened and re-sealed, thereby allowing for the user to protect the wiring and replace depleted batteries. With these capabilities also comes a heavy responsibility upon the user to properly reseal the unit!
2. Unit should be mounted on a wall or post, facing the user, and with the cable glands pointed down! (Ask yourself, “Why is this important?”)
3. If the pass-thru port is not used, the second cable gland should be replaced by the ¼” NPT plug seal!
4. Do not install more than 1 jacketed cable within a cable gland! 5. Tighten the cable gland nut after installation to ensure a proper seal. 6. Place the dessicant packs inside the display before re-sealing! Do not throw
them away! 7. Improper installation or any evidence of moisture inside the display voids
the warranty. 8. Use common sense!
Initial Setup:
1. Open Up the Enclosure by Unscrewing the Four (4) Screws. 2. Insert the Water Meter Cable Through the Left Cable Gland. 3. Land the 3 Water Meter Cable Wires on the Meter Terminal Block (Terminals
1,2,3), Per Color-Coding Specified in the Datasheet. 4. Set the Dip Switches, Per the Datasheet. 5. Set the Rotary Switch to Correctly Set the Decimal Point. 6. Press the “Read” Button and Verify That the Display’s Reading is a Perfect
Match to the Water Meter.
Optional 1: AMI/AMR Parallel Connection:
1. Insert the AMI/AMR Cable Through the Right Cable Gland. 2. Land the 3 AMI/AMR Cable Wires on the AMI/AMR Terminal Block
(Terminals 4,5,6), Per Color-Coding Specified in the Datasheet.
Optional 2: No AMI/AMR Parallel Connection:
1. Remove the Unused Cable Gland, and Replace with the Provided 1/4″ NPT Plug. Make Sure to Make Use of the Rubber Washer from the Unused Cable Gland.
Seal the Display:
1. Ensure that the Enclosed Desiccant Pack is Inserted into the Base. 2. Attach the Cover to the Base by Evenly Tightening the Four (4) Screws. 3. Tighten the Cable Gland(s) (and ¼” NPT plug seal, for 1-cable installations) 4. State-Registered Service Agent Only: Affix the Two (2) Tamper-Evident
Labels to the Left and Right Sides of the Display, Overlapping Both the Base and Cover.

SENSUS-COMPATIBLE WATER METERS
PERSONALITY SETTINGS FOR SENSUS-COMPATIBLE WATER METERS. ALL ENCODER METERS, EXCEPT FOR NEPTUNE AND ELSTER, ARE SENSUS-COMPATIBLE.
Sensus-compatible water meters generally feature programmable resolution; so therefore, the user must field-adjust the decimal point shift:
1. Set both dip switches 1 and 2 to the “down” position. 2. Note the Totalization Reading and Units on the water meter’s register. 3. Connect the Water Meter encoder cable to TheMeterDisplay terminals:
1(red), 2(green), 3(black). 4. Press the “Read” Button on TheMeterDisplay. 5. Adjust the Decimal Point Shift (Rotary Switch), so that the displayed reading
on TheMeterDisplay is a match to the reading on the water meter’s register. 6. Set the Units on TheMeterDisplay by setting dip switches 2,3,4.
Advanced Sensus Protocol: If the Sensus-compatible water meter features an encoded signal that includes multiplier and units information, then the TMD Display will decode this information from the meter and automatically set the correct display units and multiplier (ignoring the `units’ dip switches and the `multiplier’ rotary dial).
ELSTER-AMCO WATER METERS
PERSONALITY SETTINGS FOR ELSTER-AMCO WATER METERS (aka HONEYWELL, ABB, KENT).
Elster-AMCO (aka Honeywell, ABB, Kent) water meters generally are programmed to communicate using Elster’s “K-Frame” protocol, which embeds units and decimal point shift information within the digital message. TheMeterDisplay takes full advantage of this information and automatically configures its display settings based on that embedded information. Therefore, dip switches 3,4,5 may be left in their default positions (all down), and the rotary switch may be left in its default position (`0′).
Caveat: Elster-AMCO (aka Honeywell, ABB, Kent) water meters can be purchased to include the “Sensus” protocol. If TheMeterDisplay shows “Meter Not Detected” on the display, then retry setup while treating the meter as a “Sensus-compatible”. In this case, that means you will need to follow Sensus wire color-coding, and follow the “Sensus-Compatible” setup of the dip switches and rotary switch.
