Prior to Installation
This section defines how to unpack and store the E-CODER)R900i prior to installing it.
Storage
After receipt, inspect all shipping containers for damage, and inspect the contents of any
damaged cartons prior to storage.
After completing the inspection, store the cartons in a clean, dry environment. The unit
remains in sleep mode until it is exposed to light.
Unpacking
As with all precision electronic instruments, handle the E-CODER)R900i carefully; however,
no additional special handling is required. When shipped, the assembly is lying on its side.
You should lift the assembly out of the box by the meter main case.
After unpacking the E-CODER)R900i, inspect it for damage. If the E-CODER)R900i appears to
be damaged or proves to be defective upon installation, notify your Neptune Territory
Manager or Distributor. If one or more items requires reshipment, use the original
cardboard box and packing material.
Safety and Preliminary Checks
Observe the following safety and preliminary checks before and during each installation:
l Verify that you are at the location specified on the site work order.
l Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment.
l Notify the customer of your presence, and tell the customer that you need access to the
water meter.
l If the site work order does not have an MIU ID number on it, write in the ID number of the
MIU you are about to install. If the site work order already has an MIU ID number on it,
verify that it matches the ID number on the MIU you are about to install.
