INSTALLING THE ENCODER
Bayonet Mount
The fully potted assembly has a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo
Series and Fire Series meters and assemblies.
The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The device can be
removed from the meter without disrupting water service.
The device is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt or other contaminants, and is suitable for
installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence.
Install the device on the water meter and secure it using the tamper-proof screw provided.
