2.1 Installation Tools
Standard water installation tools should be used to install the iPERL system. Other installation tools include a
TouchReader+ or a 5002 Handheld device with CommandLink™ installed.
2.2 Installation Guidelines
To ensure proper performance, the following factors should be considered when installing an iPERL system:
•
Systems should be installed on the discharge side of a pump with the flow directional arrow pointed
downstream.
•
If a pump is installed on the outlet side of the system, a minimum of ten diameters of straight pipe should
be immediately downstream of the system to obtain valid system registration.
•
Suitable shutoff valves should be installed adjacent to the inlet and outlet of the system so that the service
may be shutoff if it is necessary to remove the system.
•
Clean and flush the service line thoroughly on the inlet side before installing the system.
•
Make sure that metallic water service plumbing is properly grounded as per local electrical codes. If
installing indoors, install an electrical grounding strap for safety.
2.3 Installing a New iPERL System
The iPERL system is designed to be installed in either an outdoor pit setting or in an indoor basement setting.
To install a new iPERL system:
1. Unpack the system from the packaging.
2. Inspect the system for any parts that may have been damaged during shipping.
3. Thoroughly flush new water service plumbing before installing the system.
Make sure that metallic water service plumbing is properly grounded as per local electrical codes. If
installing indoors, install an electrical grounding strap for safety.
4. Turn off the water supply valves.
5. Orientate the system so that the direction of the flow arrow on the system body is aligned with
the direction of the flow arrow in the plumbing system.

Questions and answers
how do I change the battery
The manual does not provide instructions for changing the battery in a Sensus iPERL. However, it does mention that the battery icon will turn on when the battery is low or the meter is near the end of its life. The iPERL system is designed as a sealed unit, meaning the battery is not user-replaceable. If the battery is low, you may need to contact Sensus or your utility provider for further assistance.

my sensus iperl water meter was installed upside down, with heat tape wrap around the top where the digital reader is to prevent freeze up, could this affect the accuracy of the meter ?
The Sensus iPERL water meter uses electromagnetic technology, which allows it to be installed in any orientation without affecting its accuracy. Therefore, installing it upside down should not impact its performance. However, wrapping heat tape around the digital reader could potentially interfere with the electronic components, display visibility, or long-term durability. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines to ensure proper operation.
