 TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  89   Proprietary and Confidential     To Program the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint using the endpoint programming device. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer 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 configuration file loaded into the endpoint programming device. During programming, the 100G Datalogging Commercial 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 or Check  the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint using the endpoint programming device.   If the read result is higher than the number programmed in Step 1, the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint  is counting correctly.   If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in Step 1, replace the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint.

 TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  1    1  Proprietary and Confidential    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 gas 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 gas 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 can be set to transmit in Fixed Network, Mobile and Handheld, or Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode.   Fixed Network Mode   The 100G Datalogging gas endpoint transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.   Mobile and Handheld Mode   The 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   The 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.   CH A P T E R   1  100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint

100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint   TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  9   Proprietary and Confidential       Installation Overview Installing the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint on a meter involves four tasks: 1. Removing the index cover and index from the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint. 2. Assembling the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint and index. 3. Programming the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint assembly. 4. Attaching the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint to the meter.
 TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  10   Proprietary and Confidential     This chapter provides the instructions to install the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint on an Elster American 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.   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.  CH A P T E R   2  Elster American Meter Installation
Elster American Meter Installation   TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  11   Proprietary and Confidential     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 7.) 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.

Elster American Meter Installation   TDC-0823-005     100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount  16  Proprietary and Confidential    To program the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint using the endpoint programming device. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer 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 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.  3. 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.   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 Meter After programming the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint, 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.
