Sensus/Rockwell Meter Installation
This chapter provides instructions to install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on a
Sensus/Rockwell Meter. These instructions apply to 11-tooth, 16-tooth, and 18-tooth Sensus
100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints.
Note Sensus meters are also known as Invensys, Equimeter, and Rockwell. For
these instructions, all meter types are referred to as Sensus meters.

To Remove the Index from the Meter
1. Remove the four index cover screws and the index cover from the Sensus meter.
Alternate screw removal following the numbered pattern as shown in the photo.
2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to
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 in the endpoint later in this procedure. Verify the index
mounting screws are 5/8" 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 8.)

4. 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. The cover will be used later in this installation
procedure.
2. Place the index drive gear (1) in the housing wriggler gear cup (2) of the endpoint.
The example shows an 11-tooth drive gear. Your index may be a 16- or 18-tooth gear.
Use the appropriate 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint for your specific meter. See the
Meter Compatibility List on page 2 for more information.

3. After the drive gear is aligned with the wriggler gear, the mounting holes will line up.
4. Using the original index mounting screw or a replacement screw (if necessary), place
one 6 - 32 5/8" screw into the index's right mounting screw hole. 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. Install and tighten the left index mounting screw.
Tighten the right index mounting screw completely.

5. 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
5.3 or later. See the Endpoint-Link v5.3 (or later) Endpoint Programming Guide
(TDC-0744) for more complete programming information.
®
or Point-Link Pro® software version
Caution The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint must be programmed before use.
Follow the steps in this section to properly program the endpoint.

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. Sensus meter index drive rates are typically 2-cubic
feet.
To Program the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint
1. Program the index 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.
Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to
the Sensus Meter
After 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint programming is complete, attach the endpoint
assembly to the Sensus meter.
To Attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint
1. Gently place the ERT module assembly against the front of the meter at angle.
Endpoint-to-meter mounting screws are installed and tightened in an alternating
fashion. Align the top right mounting screw-hole on the meter with the top right
screw-hole on the endpoint. Insert the top-right cover mounting screw and tighten the
screw enough to hold it in place. Do not completely tighten. Rotate the Endpoint
assembly counterclockwise until the remaining three endpoint screw holes line up
with the holes in the meter. Use the original mounting screws if they were the correct
size and not corroded. If the original screws were discarded, use the correct
replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 8.)

Chapter 3 Sensus/Rockwell M eter Installation
Install the remaining three mounting screws and tighten in the pattern shown.
• Insert lower left mounting screw and tighten to snug position.
• Tighten upper right mounting screw to snug position.
• Insert upper left mounting screw and tighten to snug position.
• Insert lower right mounting screw and tighten to snug position.
Each mounting screw should be tightened evenly.
Important Meter manufacturers should torque the mounting screws 15 to 20
inch-pounds.
2. Place a new tamper seal over the two screws with tamper seal cups. Press the new
tamper seals into place using the 11/32-inch nut driver (or similar blunt tool).
3. Complete any necessary paperwork and properly dispose excess installation materials
and scrap from the customer premises.

Itron/Actaris Meter Installation
This chapter provides instructions to install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on an
Itron/Actaris Meter.
Note Itron/Actaris meters are also known as Sprague and Schlumberger meters.
For these instructions, all meters will be referred to as Itron/Actaris meters.
To remove the index from the meter
1. Remove the index cover screws and the index cover from the Itron/Actaris meter.
Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to reattach 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.
