1 General Instructions
The E-CODER®is an electronic absolute encoder register
designed for use with Neptune’s Automatic Reading and Billing
(ARB®) System. This register operates with Neptune’s R900®
and R450™MIUs, providing advanced features such as leak,
backflow, and tamper detection.
With the E-CODER register, both the homeowner and the utility
can use the following features.
• Nine-digit display for visual reading
• Eight digits for billing
• Water flow indicators
• Intermittent leak detection icon on LCD panel
• Continuous leak detection icon on LCD panel
This guide can help you identify and read information displayed
on the E-CODER register. It can also help you recognize the
common causes of leaks and what to do if a leak is found. After
the leak is repaired, this guide also contains steps to determine
that the leak is no longer evident.
2 Product Description
The face of the E-CODER allows you to read various types of
information available. The face of the E-CODER is shown in

3 Wiring Inside Set Version
Run a three-conductor cable from the E-CODER register to the
MIU. Refer to the following steps.
1 Connect the three-conductor wire to the encoder register’s
terminals as described in the manufacturer’s instructions,
using the color code in Table 1.
2 Remove the terminal cover with a flat-head screw driver as
shown in Figure 2.

5 Installation Instructions for Networked
Receptacle/Dual Port MIUs
The Dual Port R900 and R450 MIUs work only with Neptune
ProRead™ or E-CODER registers. Each register must be
programmed in “RF Network” mode prior to installation.
9 Separate the gray wires,
and place in the slots on
each side of the splice tube
as shown in Figure 15.
10 Snap the cover closed to
finish the installation as
shown in Figure 16.
Enhanced R900 v4 MIUs are not Dual Port
capable. These instructions only apply to v3
MIUs.
• E-CODER registers cannot be programmed
while connected together in a network. Each
register must be programmed separately
prior to making the network connection.
• The designations HI and LO are
Neptune's designations for the high (HI) flow
or turbine side of the compound, and the low
(LO) flow or disc side of the compound.
• The settings can also be used to designate
the primary (HI) and secondary (LO) meters
in a dual set application
