September 20, 2010 JAS Corrected Label Information and Front Page Sensus In-Line Zigbee Module – User Manual 3 1.0 Introduction This document details the installation and usage of the “Sensus In-Line Zigbee Module”. At present the module is designed to work in the Sensus iConA and iConAS electric meters although in future in may work with other electric meter designs. The module is designed to sit between the sensor board and the display board within the electric meter. When a Zigbee module is not installed a ribbon cable connects the sensor and display. In the case when the module is installed the module is connected between the sensor and display, to give the electric meter Zigbee functionality. Sensus In-Line Zigbee Module – User Manual 4 2.0 Installation of the module within an electric meter First remove the meter outer cover. Carefully remove the meter inner cover. Disconnect the ribbon cable from the sensor pcb. Insert the Zigbee board into the connector that the display ribbon has been disconnected from. Insert the free end of the ribbon cable into the connector on the Zigbee module as shown in Figure 1. Add the jumper (short) to position J202 on the sensor board, as shown in Figure 2.
