3. Modular Jacks & Screw-Type Connectors (SUBIDR-16

ONLY): Supplied with 8 modular jacks and 8 screw-type

connectors. Used with a mixture of Honeywell and third-

party meters. (Requires external power supply.)

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:

THE INTERNAL CIRCUITS OF THE IDR CAN BE

DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE.

BEFORE REACHING INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE,

DISCHARGE YOURSELF BY TOUCHING AN

EARTH-GROUNDED OBJECT.

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF STATIC ELECTRIC-

ITY ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD CAN RESULT IN:

- LOSS OF STORED DATA

- A SYSTEM LOCK-UP

- PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE IDR

The IDR is available in two types of enclosure systems:

1. Stand-Alone IDR (Standard Configuration)

The stand-alone IDR configuration consists of a single

IDR unit. The enclosure should be mounted using the

mounting flanges located at the top and bottom of the

enclosure. The enclosure has three available knockouts

for cable entrance/ exit from the IDR.

CAUTION

NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH THE

STEEL ENCLOSURE. DOING SO MAY

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC

CIRCUITRY AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

CONNECTING METERS TO THE
IDR

Honeywell Meter Connections

1. Each Honeywell meter has two modular jacks located at

the top of the main circuit board. The jack on the left

(RJ-45, 8-pin), labeled “IDR”, is used to connect the

meter to the IDR. NEVER USE THE 6-PIN JACK

LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE METER CIR-

CUIT BOARD TO CONNECT ANY IDR.

2. * Be sure that one Honeywell meter is located within

100 feet of the IDR. This meter will be used to supply

the low-voltage power necessary to operate the IDR.

Connect this meter to jack #1 on the IDR using an 8-

conductor flat modular cable. (See Chapter 5.0 if the

IDR has the optional AC adapter.)

3. *All remaining Honeywell meters must be connected to

the meter jacks #2-8 using 6-conductor flat modular

cable.

4. SUBIDR-16 - If the IDR is an SUBIDR-16, connect the

additional meters to Jacks # 9-16 on the option card

using 6-conductor flat modular cable.

5. SUBIDR-8s orSUBIDR-16s supplied with plug-in screw

type connectors can be up to 500 feet from all meters,

and utilize a pair of wires for connecting to the meter

pulse output.

* See Appendix C for items 2 & 3 above.

** For more information on cable assembly, see Appendix A.

Pulse Output Meters (IDR-ST models only):

1. Each meter is interfaced with the IDR through the plug-

in screw type connectors. Any of the connectors may be

used with #22-14 AWG conductors.

2. When used with solid-state switches, correct polarity

must be observed in order for that contact to be recog-

nized. COM (or “C”) on the IDR is 12 VDC that must be

connected to the + side of the pulse switch. The return

side of the switch is connected to SIG (or “S”) on the

IDR.

Fig. 4. Observe polarity when using solid-state switches

with pulse output meters.

3. The meter can be up to 500 feet away from the IDR.

Third-Party Meter Connections

In order to connect “third-party” meters such as gas, water or

utility-type meters, the IDR must be ordered with the screw

terminal connectors (designated with the suffix B or C at the

end of the model number) instead of the modular jacks.

The IDR for third-party metering is always powered by the

optional AC adapter power supply and requires an available

120 VAC receptacle to obtain the power. The receptacle must

not be switched off at any time. See Section 5.0, Optional AC

Adapter.

The input pulses supplied to the IDR must be non-powered,

and they can be either physical (mechanical) contacts or

electronic switches. When electronic switches are used, the

“COM” terminal on the IDR is the “+” output and the “SIG” is

the return from the switch.

The IDR with modular jacks automatically detects when an

Honeywell meter is connected to it so that it can be

recognized by the software when the meters are added or
