1. Tilt the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint at an angle and turn the wriggler until the drive

notches line up with the meter wriggler's drive teeth.

Warning The INLET label on the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint must line up
with the INLET label on the meter case.

Warning Do not press down on the 100G Datalogging commercial gas
endpoint if a gap exists between the endpoint and the meter. A gap may be
caused by misalignment of the endpoint wriggler and meter wriggler's drive
teeth. Pushing down on the endpoint could damage the endpoint wriggler or
meter drive teeth. To eliminate a gap, slowly turn the endpoint's upper
wriggler back and forth until the endpoint aligns with the meter's drive teeth.

3. Verify the bottom of the endpoint and the top of the meter meet. The endpoint housing should rest on top

of the meter without gaps.

5. Place the index cover mounting plate on the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint so the printing

"FLOW FRONT AL800 AL1000 AL1400 AL2300 AL5000 TURBINE ROTARY" stamped on the plate
is toward the front of the meter. (A gap between the mounting plate and meter at the screw locations is
normal.)

6. Install four mounting screws included with the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint and tighten

them in an alternating diagonal sequence.

For metal mounting plates with a flat screw surface, use endpoint mounting screws with internal tooth

washers.

For plastic mounting plates with tamper screw cups, use endpoint mounting screws (Use O-rings AS-

568A-011, 5/16" ID x 7/16" OD for a maximum moisture seal). Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it
contacts the mounting plate.

If you have access to a torque driver, tighten mounting screws to 72 inch-pounds.

7. Place new tamper seals over screws (if mounting plate has tamper seal cups) and press into place with an

11/32" nut driver or similar blunt tool.

To attach the index/cover assembly on the meter

1. Place the mounting plate gasket (previously removed) on the index cover mounting plate. Align the gasket

and index cover mounting plate screw holes.

2. Place the index/cover assembly on the index mounting plate. (The index must face the direction it faced

before removal.) Attach the index/cover assembly on the mounting plate using original index screws.
Insert one screw and tighten two turns to hold it in place on the mounting plate. Insert the second
mounting screw and tighten until secure. Completely tighten the first mounting screw. Each index cover
mounting screw must be tightened evenly.

3. Turn the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint wriggler so it intersects with the index wriggler.

Carefully lower the index-cover mounting plate assembly onto the 100G Datalogging commercial gas
endpoint.

4. Install four endpoint mounting screws (SCR-0062-001, see Installation Prerequisites on page 7). Tighten

screws in an alternating diagonal pattern.

Insert the first screw and tighten enough to hold index assembly in place.

Insert the second screw diagonal to first screw and tighten two to three turns.

Insert the third screw, tightening two or three turns.

Insert the fourth screw and tighten until secure.

Tighten the first, second, and third screws until secure. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts

the cover.

Tighten each endpoint mounting screw evenly. If you have access to a torque-driver, tighten mounting
screws to 72-inch pounds.

5. Install new tamper or wire seals. If tamper seals are installed, press into place with an 11/32 nut driver or

similar blunt tool. Crimp the seal if utility-approved wire seals are installed.

This section provides instructions for installing the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint on
Itron/Sprague/Schlumberger 675A, 800A, and 1000A commercial meters. Installation requires an Itron
adapter kit available from Itron, Owenton, KY.

Follow Removing the Index/Index Assembly from the Meter on page 52 to prepare the Itron/Schlumberger
meter for installation. Program the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint (see Programming the 100G

Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly on page 55) prior to installation.

To attach the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint to the meter

1. Turn the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint over and place the four mounting screw bushings

into the screw holes on the endpoint.

2. Turn the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint on its side and align the wriggler with the meter's

drive dog.

the drive dog and wriggler. The endpoint housing should rest on the top of the meter without gaps.

To attach the index/cover assembly on the meter

1. Place the Itron adapter plate on the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint with the two small screw

holes in the adapter plate to the back of the meter.

5. Place the index cover over the index with the clear side covering the index dials for easy reading. Align

the holes in the index cover with the endpoint adapter plate mounting holes. Secure with the four
mounting screws from the adapter kit. Tighten the mounting screws in a diagonal alternating pattern.

Insert the first screw and tighten enough to hold the index in place.

Insert the second screw and tighten two to three turns.

Insert the third mounting screw and tighten two to three turns.

Insert the fourth mounting screw and tighten.

Tighten the first, third, and second screws. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after the screw contacts the
index cover. Tighten each index mounting screw evenly. If you have access to a torque-driver, tighten
mounting screws to 72-inch pounds.

6. Insert tamper seals in the tamper seal cups on the index cover and press into place with an 11/32 nut driver

or similar blunt tool.

Removing the Index/ Index Assembly from the Meter

100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoints can be mounted on Sensus/Rockwell Commercial Meters in
various configurations. These instructions show the index assembly mounted without a mounting plate.

To remove the index/index assembly from the meter

1. Remove any tamper seals (or wire seals) from the index cover and remove the index cover mounting

screws. You will re-install it later in these instructions.
