To program the 100G Datalogging commercial gas endpoint
1. Program the index drive rate into the commercial 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.
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.

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.
