CHAPTER 4 Itron/Sprague Meter Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint on an Itron/Sprague Meter. Note Itron/Sprague meters are also known as Actaris and Schlumberger meters. For these instructions, all meters are referred to as Itron/Sprague meters. To remove the index from the meter 1. Remove the index cover screws and the index cover from the Itron/Sprague meter. 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 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. TDC-0823-005 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 28 Proprietary and Confidential

Itron/Sprague Meter Installation 2. Loosen the index mounting screws 1/2 to one turn. Slide the index to the left and off the mounting screws and remove from the meter. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow. The index is mounted in the endpoint later in this procedure. Verify the index mounting screws are 1/4" long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, retain for later use. If the original screws are discarded, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 7). 3. Remove the old gasket, gasket residue, and dirt from the meter (if applicable). The meter face must be free of gasket residue or dirt before you install the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint. To assemble the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint and index 1. Separate the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing. Set the endpoint cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt or snow. You will use the cover later in this installation procedure.

Itron/Sprague Meter Installation To program the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint 1. Program the index drive rate into the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint using the endpoint programming device. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the handheld computer as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer within six 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 configuration file loaded into the endpoint programming device. 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. Read or Check the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint using the endpoint programming device. If the read result is higher than the number programmed in Step 1, the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint is counting correctly.
