- 10. Signalizer™ FAQ’s… Are there different Signalizer models for different meters? No – one model fits all and configured via DIP switches Does the Signalizer require external power? Yes, 9-36VDC, 1.5W (optional power adapter available, not included) Does the 4-20mA output require an external loop DC power supply? No – The 4-20mA is an active signal. Does AMR/AMI pass-thru work if DC Power is removed? Yes! Can the Signalizer be wired to an integrated R900? No – The Signalizer is only compatible with a stand-alone register due to R900 potting. Use standalone R900 MIU when needed.
