Quick Install Guide
1: General Instructions
The E-CODER®is an electronic absolute encoder
register designed for use with Neptune's Automatic
Reading and Billing (ARB®) System. This register
operates with Neptune's R900®and R450™ MIUs,
providing advanced features such as leak, backflow,
and tamper direction.
With the E-CODER register, both the homeowner and
the utility can use the following features:
lNine-digit display for visual reading
lEight digits for billing
lWater flow indicators
lIntermittent and continuous leak detection icon on
the LCD panel
This guide helps you identify and read information
displayed on the E-CODER register. It also helps you
recognize the common causes of leaks and instructs
what to do if you find one. This guide contains steps to
determine whether a leak is fixed after repairs.
