Q. What does RTR® stand for?
A. Recordall® Transmitter Register.
Q. What type of a signal does the RTR output?
A. The signal output of an RT is an open collector transistor.
Q. Where is the RTR used?
A. The RTR is used in conjunction with all of our Recordall® Series Meters to measure totalized flow through the meter and also output a signal to our MRT products.
Q. If I have a RTR with submersible connector (either integrated into the RTR housing or on a pigtail coming off of the RTR) can it be successfully used to connect to any of our current or future connectivity solutions?
A. The RTR with the integrated connector will work with any of our current 2 wire or 3 wire partners. This was accomplished by actually using 4 pins in the connector so there are 2 reds and 2 blacks. The connector from the connectivity partner then uses the proper mating pins to get the 2 wire or required 3 wire they need. The RTR® with the pigtail will only work with the product that is was wired for. This is because they are set up and released for the particular product and only have at most three wires connected. In other words there is only one version of the RTR with the integrated connector that will work with all of our connectivity partners. The RTR with the pigtail is wired for a particular connectivity partner.
Q. Can the RTR be wired to a computer or some other external device to measure and record totalized flow?
A. Yes, as long the computer or external device can accept an open collector transistor output.
Q. I have an old Easy Read® meter that I want to read via an AMR product. Can I replace the local register with an RTR?
A. No, the RTR is used on the Recordall Series meter lines only.
