0 3 I N S TALLING YOUR METER SENSOR
Go to your electric meter and take the following
items with you:
• This Manual • A clean damp cloth
• Meter Sensor • 1 large Flat Head screwdriver
• Digital Display • Clear Alignment Template (if you have a Type 3 meter)
• Rubber Shim • A pen or pencil

Determine your electric meter type

In order to configure your Meter Sensor and program your Digital Display properly,
you must first determine what type of electric meter you have.
There are three types of electric meters:
TYPE 1—Electromechanical
This type of meter has dials and a spinning disk.
Note – If your meter has dials, but the spinning disk is not
visible from the front of the meter, call the Black & Decker
Help Line at 1-800-544-6986.
If this is your meter ty p e, proceed to the next page.
Optical Port
TYPE 2—Electronic with optical port
on the face
The optical port looks like an LED, and may appear anywhere
on the face. Some meters have two ports.
If this is your meter ty p e, proceed to page 10 .
Optical Port
TYPE 3—Electronic with optical
port on the top
The optical port looks like a clear plastic cylinder that
protrudes from the top of the electric meter.
If this is your meter ty p e, proceed to page 13 .
