Installation
The VL-9S electronics and battery are environmentally sealed and suitable for outdoor installation, the
wire terminals are not sealed for moisture. The unit should not be installed in locations below grade
or in a submersible environment.
1. Using the VL-9S base as a template, locate and mark mounting holes
on outside wall of building. For best results the VL-9S should be locat-
ed at eye level in an easily accessible location.
2. Remove VL-9S cover using the 9/64 Allen Wrench..
3. Secure VL-9S base to wall using the mounting dimensions in the draw-
ing shown to drill the locating holes.
4. Run the 3 conductor cable from the meter to the VL-9S. Maximum dis-
tance between the meter and remote reader is 2000 ft. Cable per UL
2464 24 gauge 7/32, with foil shield and drain. Note: Never place the
cable in a conduit with conductors carrying A/C.
5. Attach cable to meter and to VL-9S, be sure to follow the connecting
schematic. Be sure connections are secure and protected. For the VL-
9S, only the green and black wires coming from the ETR-DS are used
for the connections.
6. Tap VL-9S on the gold seal to verify that it turns on. If the VL-9S was
received attached to a ZENNER Meter, it should already be pro-
grammed and display a count that matches the register odometer. If
the VL-9S was not programmed, it will display PROGRMNG REQUIRED.
Please see the VL-9S programming instruction sheets on the following
pages.
7. Comply with all the necessary ordinances and codes.
8. Caution when drilling holes in walls, there may be electricals inside.
