Abstract: The present invention is a color coded system for associating each of a plurality of individual electrical connection ports of a transactional terminal with a particular cable designated for connection with a specific one of the ports. The system includes a device that has a plurality of electrical connection ports for receiving cables. The device has a recessed portion extending around the electrical connection ports. The recessed portion has a rim defining the boundary of the recess. The system also includes a color coded alignment strip that has a surface of colors arranged in ordered positions on the strip. The colors of the surface correspond to color coded cables. The color coded alignment strip is positioned and is aligned in the recess in a position that aligns the colors with the electrical connection ports that are to receive the color coded cables of the corresponding colors aligned with the electrical connection ports.

Abstract: A system for metering material flow made up of a member moveable in proportion to the flow of material, a permanent magnet moveable by the member and a reed switch connecting a source of energy through an electronic circuit to a counter. The circuit and reed switch are sealed in a phenolic resin, which is waterproof and enclosed in a housing that fits onto an opening in the meter housing. The circuit has a transistor with a collector connected to the counter.

Abstract: An electronic remote reading system for a meter is disclosed, consisting of a permanent magnet on a shaft, rotating in proportion to volume passing through the meter. A switch, sensitive to a magnetic field, mounted on the outside of the meter in the influence of the magnetic field, a low current consumption circuit connecting the switch to a remotely located counter, powered by an energy source, such as alkaline batteries or a solar panel. The circuit is connected in such a manner that the power consumed is of such a small magnitude that the alkaline batteries have a life essentially equal to their shelf life. The solar panel is of a physical size to be mounted directly as part of the counter housing.
