Installation and Site Evaluation 2 GPS Location Considerations Each Device contains a cellular modem and GPS locator. Some obstacles can interfere with the signals required for each of these to operate properly. Confirmation of cellular signal can be obtained with a standard cell phone. If GPS is unavailable, the location of the Device can be entered manually into the software. Address or GPS coordinates should be noted upon installation. To obtain GPS coordinates (longitude and latitude coordinates), it is recommended that you utilize a GPS location APP or website. Enter the nearest physical street address to the site where the Device will be located into a GPS coordinate APP or website to obtain the GPS coordinates. Upon obtaining the information, enter the longitude and latitude coordinates into the Device Management website. Log Each Remote Pressure Monitoring System, consists of an RTU and Sensor, (here-by known as Device). Prior to the installation of the Device, strategic installation points should be identified. Confirmation of a cellular signal (Verizon or AT&T) is available at the identified site. Contact Mueller Co. for additional support if required. When installing the Remote Pres- sure Monitoring System with a valve box into the distribution network, identify the OD and type of pipe as well as the depth requirement prior to ordering. Mueller Co. can assist in verifying that the proper saddle and valve box can be supplied. The Remote Pressure Monitoring System lid-mounted antenna shall be installed no more than six (6) inches below-grade to ensure the cellular communication signal is not impeded. into account and open the Device which is to be mapped. Select “Edit” and enter longitude and latitude coordinates in the appropriate fields. Shipping The Remote Pressure Monitoring System is powered by a series of lithium batteries. Specific and approved shipping procedures must be observed. The Remote Pressure Monitoring System may be shipped with or without a valve box and ancillary items depending on the customer’s desired installation. In the event of the unit being returned for service, contact Mueller Co. Customer Service for approved shipping and handling information. NOTE: The RTU can only be shipped via ground transportation and must be properly labeled to identify presence of lithium batteries. Contact Mueller Co. at 877.864.8500 before shipping. General Installation in a Valve Box 1. Remove the Remote Pressure Monitor from its packaging and inspect for possible damage during shipping. 2. Once service saddle installation is complete, install guide plate (P/N: 147506P) over the service saddle and apply suitable sealant or joint tape to the inlet side of the corporation valve before installing into the saddle. Thread the corporation valve into the service saddle as shown (see page 3). The guide plate will center the valve box bell end over the service saddle and corporation valve. NOTE: Before drilling, ensure guide plate is in between the service saddle and corporation valve (see page 3).

The first reading may take up to 24 hours to be transmitted to the website. The Device will reveal system pressures with no additional inputs. In order to customize 4. After the drilling operation is complete and corporation valve is closed, apply a suitable sealant or joint sealing tape on the inlet side of the ¾” threads on the supplied bushing. Securely attach the ¾” end of the bushing to the outlet of the corporation valve. NOTE: Avoid use of excessive sealant. Avoid contact with sensor transducer tip. 5. Securely attach the pressure sensor to the ¼” end of the bushing. Utilize a suitable sealant or joint sealing tape on the inlet threads of the pressure sensor to ensure a proper seal. NOTE: Avoid use of excessive sealant. Avoid contact with sensor transducer tip. 6. Prior to installation of pressure sensor dry the interior of the corporation stop threaded connection. 7. Once the sensor has been attached, turn the corporation valve to the “open” position. Run sensor cable through composite valve box when installing pressure sensor. Refer to the installation instructions for the Mueller® composite valve box (Form MC014). NOTE: When paving and compacting asphalt, use a Mueller iron lid (P/N: AJBV-4CWATER) to prevent damage to the RTU. Once asphalt work is completed, replace iron lid with the RTU. Be sure the sensor tip is exposed to line pressure prior to connecting the sensor cable to the RTU. 8. Once the corporation stop has been opened and pressurized, plug the male end of the multi-pin connector of the sensor cable into the mated connector of the RTU (located on bottom of RTU). 9. Once the RTU and cable are connected, insert the RTU into the ductile iron top section. NOTE: Be certain that the lid of the RTU is mounted flush with the surface of the ductile iron valve box top section. pressure level notifications, the following four (4) values may be set on the measurements screen: Warning High, Warning Low, Critical High, and Critical Low.
