Electrical Connections ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS HARDWARE INSTALLATION 1 Unpack materials: Remove all materials from shipping box and verify all required components are available 2 An antenna inside a non-metallic enclosure will be required Metal enclosures restrict RF communications If a metal enclosure is required, use an external antenna and an RF antenna cable 3 Connect the pulse output devices For KYZ pulse output meters, attach the normally-open circuit to the R9120-5 transceiver These are usually the K and Z terminals...
Hardware Installation Modbus Address Before the R9120-5 transceiver can be used, you must set the Modbus address of the R9120-5 transceiver This address must be unique among all Modbus devices in the system, including all devices that are connected on remote wireless links Address 0 (all switches OFF) is not allowed Select an address, and set the dipswitches to match The sum of the value of the switches is the address In the example to the right, address 52 is set by placing switch 4, 16 and 32 to the ON position...
Monitoring Usage MONITORING USAGE The R9120-5 transceiver has several data points that may be read using the Modbus protocol For each of the two pulse inputs, the R9120-5 transceiver reports a value for consumption and rate Rate fields are provided for the average rate during the log period (block demand), the instantaneous rate, and the min/max instantaneous rate observed during the log period The pulse counts for each input are stored in non-volatile memory to preserve the count when power is removed For more information on the specific Modbus registers used for the pulse inputs, refer to the Modbus...
Monitoring Usage Model 3700 Advanced Configuration Options The Model 3700 data acquisition server setup and configuration page includes an advanced configuration page to set all of the R9120-5 transceiver features with a convenient web page interface Below is an example screen for the Model 3700 advanced configuration page In this setup page, there are several options available •...
Monitoring Usage Model 3700 Route Mapping Display The Model 3700 data acquisition server has additional diagnostic features that assist with R9120-5 transceiver deployments The most useful is the R9120-5 transceiver route map Select the R9120-5 transceivers menu from the Wireless section in the Model 3700 data acquisition server menu tree as shown below The graph will draw a blue box for each R9120-5 transceiver that is attached to the system The blue number inside the box icon is the Modbus address of the R9120-5 transceiver To the side of each icon, three lines of information will be shown...
These should be sufficient to perform all operations (read many values, make single change, and identify) In addition, the device will respond to with Modbus exceptions for invalid function, value, and register if out-of-bound requests are made Modbus function 0x11 Slave ID function will respond with ID=49 "Badger Meter, ModHopper, R9120-5" Modbus Register List...

Modbus Features Register Functions Pulse Count The pulse count is stored as an unsigned 32 bit integer This allows for 2^32 pulses (4 2 billion) to be counted before rollover On Modbus systems that do not allow you to read 32 bit values, you can calculate the pulse count as follows: count = (MSW * 65536) + LSW count = (MSW <<...
Mechanical Drawings MECHANICAL DRAWINGS The R9120-5 transceiver must be wall-mounted, or mounted inside an appropriate enclosure rated for the weather, location, and electrical components located inside it The R9120-5 transceiver mounting holes are detailed below June 2016 XMT-UM-02107-EN-01 Page 13...
