MDT
Outsider™ Transceiver
Standard and MAX Range Systems
Product Overview
The Outsider™ MDT combines direct meter reading with our proven AMR radio to provide an instant and error-free assembly process. Our Outsider™ MDT slides directly onto the register housing of all NMT SingleMag™ and VersaMag™ water meters, secured by a single screw. With no wiring involved, we have eliminated the common errors that can occur during shipment and installation.
Like all our MDTs, the battery life exceeds five years, and the AA batteries are field replaceable. The Outsider™ MDT includes the radio with reed switch and batteries, case with locking ring, and screw for securing it to the meter register.
- Easy-to-Install: Slides onto the register of any NMT SingleMag™ or VersaMag™ water meter and eliminates the wiring for simplified installation.
- Plumber installations: With the integrated meter and MDT, a plumber can install everything at each meter point without manipulating any wiring.
- Reliable: Combining the proven technologies of Tehama and NMT in an easy to install system helps ensure proper and long-lasting installations.
