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.)
