TESCO’s Cat. 1037-ITRN (Top of Meter Optical Pickup) matches the curvature of the meter cover on the optical port located at the 12 o’clock position on the meter and allows easy pulse pickup from the top of the meter.

The design uses the meter cover to hold and locate the pickup directly over the pulse output (light pipe). The pickup is integrated into the curved plastic to allow the pickup to be on the surface of the cover, maximizing the signal received from even the weakest pulse outputs. The curved design also blocks ambient light making this the most effective pickup on the market for sensing the pulse output from meters with the pulse output in the 12 o’clock position.
