Step-by-Step Instructions for Wiring Connection between TR4x Transceiver and Amco Elster Meter

Objective:

To make the wiring connection between a TR4x Next Entry transceiver and a register or meter with an Amco Elster connection type.

Materials Needed:

• TR4x Next Century transceiver
• Amco Elster meter
• Provided connectors (button connectors)
• Water-resistant cap filled with grease
• Wire stripper/crimper tool

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Wires

1. Ensure all exposed wires are removed for the connectors provided.
   • Note: Exposed wires can cause improper connections and potential short circuits.

Step 2: Connect the Green Wires

1. Locate the green wire on the transceiver side.
2. Locate the green wire on the meter side.
3. Use a button connector to join the green wires:
   • Start from the back side of the connector.
   • Ensure the wires are completely buried into the back of the connector.
   • Crush the front of the connector into the back until it is flush.
   • This will bite into the wires and create a secure connection.

Step 3: Connect the Red Wires

1. Locate the red wire on the TR4x transceiver side.
2. Locate the red wire on the Amco Elster meter side.
3. Use a button connector to join the red wires, following the same procedure as in Step 2.

Step 4: Connect the Black Wires

1. Locate the black wire on the transceiver side.
2. Locate the black wire on the meter side.
3. Use a button connector to join the black wires, following the same procedure as in Step 2.

Step 5: Test the Connections

1. Test each connection to ensure they are solid and secure.
2. Fold one of the connections back to double-check that they are not going to come free.

Step 6: Insert into Water-Resistant Cap

1. Insert the connected wires into the provided water-resistant cap.
   • Ensure the connections are submerged below the level of the grease.
   • This step is crucial for making the connections water-resistant.

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you will have successfully made a secure and water-resistant wiring connection between the TR4x Next Entry transceiver and the Amco Elster meter.
