CHAPTER 1 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Itron 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the endpoint. 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints have the same increased output power as the first generation 100G Gas Endpoints for greater RF transmission distance. The 100G direct- mount endpoint reads and transmits a Standard Consumption Message (SCM) with magnetic-tamper and tilt-tamper data. The Itron 100G Datalogging direct-mount endpoint adds functionality by storing up to 40 days of hourly data. This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 100G Gas Endpoint and the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on a wide variety of meters. This installation guide refers to both 100G endpoint versions as the 100G Datalogging Endpoint. Mechanical installation procedures are identical for both modules. 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint compatible meters are listed in the Meter Compatibility List. Transmission Modes The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint transmits in one of three modes: • Fixed Network Mode In this mode, a 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile and Handheld Mode In this mode, a 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode In this mode, a 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements). An FCC license is not required to read 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 1

Due to continuous research, product improvements, and enhancements, Itron reserves the right to change this list without notice. Note On rare occasions the location of endpoint-to-meter mounting holes on older diaphragm gas meters might not match up with the mounting holes on the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint. This can prevent the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint from properly mounting to the meter. 2 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount

CHAPTER 2 Elster American Meter Installation This chapter provides instructions to install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on an Elster American Meter. Installing the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint involves four tasks: 1. Removing the index from the meter. 2. Assembling the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint and index. 3. Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly. 4. Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly to the meter. Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. To remove the index from the meter 1. Remove the four index cover screws and the index cover from the Elster American meter. Alternate screw removal following the numbered pattern in the photo. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 11

Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation 2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to re- attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard. Note You may use the removed index cover as a temporary storage container for screws. Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. 3. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely. Hold one hand under the index to catch the screw. While removing the other mounting screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep the index backplate against the back of the screw. Remove the screw completely after the index is free of the meter. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow. The index will be mounted to the endpoint later in this procedure. Verify the index mounting screws are 3/16" long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, retain for later use. If the original screws were discarded, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 8.) 4. Remove the old gasket, gasket residue and dirt from the meter (if applicable). The meter face must be free of gasket residue before you install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint. 12 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount

Separate the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing. 2. Set the endpoint cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt or snow. The cover will be used later in this installation procedure. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 13

Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation Note Elster American meter indexes are available in different models: Index wrigglers on one-foot meters with drive slots Index meters on two-foot meters with drive posts An Elster American index with mounting screw holes An Elster American index with mounting slots If your index has mounting screw slots, skip steps 3 and 4. If your index has mounting screw holes, perform steps 3 and 4, and skip steps 5 and 6. 3. Using the original index mounting screw or a replacement screw, if necessary, place one 8 - 32 3/16" screw into the index's right-hand mounting screw hole. 14 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount

Installation Prerequisites 4. Attach the screw to the endpoint housing's right-index mounting post just enough to hold the screw and the right end of the index in place. 5. Screw one 8 - 32 x 3/16" screw into the right index mounting post one or two turns. Do not tighten the screw. 6. Place the right index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not tighten the screw. 7. Slide the index drive post into the endpoint wriggler. Verify positive engagement. Caution If the index wriggler has a drive slot, place the endpoint wriggler's drive post into the index drive slot. Failure to mate the endpoint wriggler with the index drive post (or slot) can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter failure. 8. Install and tighten the left index mounting screw (for indexes with either mounting screw slots or holes). Tighten the right index mounting screw. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 15

Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation 9. Slide the endpoint cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The endpoint label should be clearly visible and easily read. Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint must be programmed with the FC200SR handheld computer loaded with EndPoint-Link® or Point-Link Pro® software version 5.3 or later. See the Endpoint-Link v5.3 (or later) Endpoint Programming Guide (TDC-0744) for more complete programming information. Caution The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint must be programmed before use. Follow the steps in this section to properly program the endpoint. 16 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount

Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly The endpoint is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower left dial on the index. The endpoint is programmed based on the drive rate. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-cubic foot or 2-cubic feet. To Program the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint using the FC200SR. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the FC200SR as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the FC200SR within 6 feet of the target endpoint. Verify you have the correct programming mode (Fixed Network Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application. Programming parameters are based on the mode defined by your system administrator. During programming, the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint is set to the nearest 100 cubic feet; the last two digits (tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). After programming is complete, the endpoint assembly will read to the nearest cubic foot. 2. Slowly turn the endpoint's drive wriggler two turns in the direction shown on the index drive rate. This verifies the endpoint is counting properly after assembly. Caution Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second. 3. Read the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint using the FC200SR. • If the read result is higher than the number programmed in Step 1, the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint is counting correctly. • If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in Step 1, replace the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 17

Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Elster American Meter After 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint programming is complete, attach the endpoint assembly to the Elster American Meter. Warning For 5B Meters only: If the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint will be installed on a 5B-225 aluminum meter, cut 1/16" off each endpoint wriggler post to prevent the wriggler from rubbing on the face of the nut holding the meter drive dog in place. To Attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint 1. Align the endpoint wriggler to connect with the drive post (or slot) of the meter. For one-foot meters: Align the endpoint assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive post. For two-foot meters: Align the endpoint assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive slot. The pin on the endpoint wriggler may be installed inside or outside the meter drive slot. For easy assembly, Itron recommends installing the pin on the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint wriggler outside the meter drive slot. 18 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount

Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Elster American Meter 2. Carefully align the endpoint's four screw holes with the holes on the meter. Attach using the original mounting screws if they are the correct size and are not corroded (1/4 - 20 x 5/8" screws.) If the original screws were discarded, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 8). Tighten in an alternating, diagonal pattern as shown in the photo: • Insert first screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after the screw contacts the meter connection. • Insert the second screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection. • Insert the third screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection. • Insert the last screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection. Return to the first screw and tighten. Continue with the second, third and last screw until all screws are tight. Use equal screw tension to tighten each screw. Note Meter manufacturers should torque the mounting screws 15 to 20 inch- pounds. 3. Place new tamper seals over the two screws with tamper seal mounts. Press tamper seals into place using the 11/32" nut driver or similar blunt tool. 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 19
