CHAPTER 5
National (Lancaster) Meter Installation
This chapter provides instructions to install the 100G ERT module on 175 - 250 CFH National (Lancaster)
meters.
Removing the Meter Index
Begin the module installation by removing the index cover and index from the meter.
To remove the index from the meter
1. Remove any tamper seals from the index cover screws. Remove the index cover screws and the index
cover from the meter. Discard the index cover mounting screws and index cover. The 100G includes new,
different-size ERT module mounting screws
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.
2. Remove one index mounting screw completely. Hold one hand under the index to catch the screw.
3. While you remove the other mounting screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep the index
backplate against the back of the screw.

4. Remove the screw completely after the index is free of the meter.
5. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain, or snow. You will mount the index
in the ERT module later in this procedure.
6. Discard the index mounting screws. The 100G for National (Lancaster) meters includes new, differentsized index mounting screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 14 for screw information).
7. 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 assembly.
Assembling the Gas ERT Module and Index
Continue ERT module installation by assembling the ERT module and index.
To assemble the 100G series gas ERT module and index
1. Separate the 100G housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing.

2. Set the ERT cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt, or snow. You will use the
cover later in this installation procedure.
Caution Use only dial-type indexes from National, Actaris, Schlumberger, or Sprague meters with the
100G.
Indexes with bow-tie shaped wrigglers are not compatible with the 100G. You must use a compatible
index.
Note National (Lancaster) meter indexes are available in different models:
Indexes with legs
Indexes with mounting holes
Some National meter indexes have index legs to mount the index on the meter or ERT. Some indexes
have both legs and index mounting holes and some have just mounting holes. Mounting methods are
dependent on the index. Index types require different mounting screws to attach the index to the 100G
housing (see Installation Prerequisites on page 14). Indexes with legs must be mounted to the ERT
housing mounting posts (1). Indexes with mounting holes must be attached to the ERT housing's bracket
mounting posts (2).
If your index has legs with mounting screw slots, skip steps 3 and 4. If your index has mounting screw
holes in the index back plate (no legs), perform steps 3 and 4, and skip steps 5 and 6.
3. For indexes with mounting screw holes in the index back plate (no legs), use the replacement index
mounting screws (SCR-0037-001, see Installation Prerequisites on page 14). Place one screw into the
index's right-hand mounting screw hole.
Note National index mounting screws are thread-forming screws and may require more torque.

National (Lancaster) Meter Installation
4. Attach the screw to the ERT housing's right-index mounting post just enough to hold the screw and the
right end of the index in place.
5. For indexes with legs (mounting slots), screw one 10 - 20 x 3/8-inch screw (SCR-0017-001, see
Installation Prerequisites on page 14 for screw information) into the right index mounting post one or two
turns. Do not completely tighten the screw.
6. Place the right index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not completely tighten the screw.
7. Carefully slide the index drive post into the ERT shaft slot. Verify positive engagement of the index
wriggler to the ERT shaft. (The following illustrations show index to shaft placement with positive
engagement.)
Warning Verify the index drive slot engages with the 100G shaft. Failure to mate the ERT shaft with the
index drive post (or slot) can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter failure.
8. Install and tighten the left index mounting screw (for indexes with either mounting screw slots or holes).
Tighten the right index mounting screw. Tighten each index mounting screw evenly.
Warning Slide indexes with mounting screw slots all the way to the right. Verify the ERT module shaft
is aligned with the index drive post. Hold the index tightly in place while you secure the index mounting
screws.
9. Slide the ERT module cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The ERT
module label should be clearly visible and easily read.

National (Lancaster) Meter Installation
Take note of the index drive rate shown on a top right dial on the index. The endpoint is programmed based
on the drive rate. National/Lancaster meter index drive rates are typically 2-cubic feet.
To program the ERT module assembly
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series gas ERT module using the endpoint programming
device.
2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as
possible. For optimal results, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT module.
3. Verify you have the correct programming mode (Fixed Network Mode, Mobile High Power Mode,
Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application.
4. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming
device. During programming, the 100G 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 ERT module assembly will read
to the nearest cubic foot.
Installing the 100G Gas ERT Module Assembly on the Meter
After you program the ERT module, complete the ERT module installation by installing the module on the
meter.
To install the 100G series gas ERT module on the meter
1. Align the black wriggler (1) so one of its four drive fins lines up with the meter's drive dog (2).

54
National (Lancaster) Meter Installation
2. Carefully place the 100G on the meter.
Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and ERT module wriggler can cause binding and
lead to poor registration or meter failure. If there is a gap between the ERT module gasket and the meter,
it may be the wriggler of the ERT module is dead-headed against the meter drive dog as shown in the
following illustration.
Remove the 100G assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage the meter drive dog in
the ERT module wriggler.
3. Insert the right module mounting screw and tighten the screw until the gasket is against the meter. Do not
completely tighten the mounting screw.
Note Use the original mounting screws to mount the 100G if they were the correct size and not corroded.
If you discarded the original screws, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on
page 14.)
4. Slightly raise the left side of the ERT module (the module will rotate on the right screw) until the left ERT
module mounting hole is approximately 1/4-inch above the left meter mounting hole.

Caution You must program the 100G ERT module before use.
For 5C15 and 8C15 Rotary Meters, program as 4 dial, 2 cubic foot index. For all other residential 100G series
gas ERT modules, refer to B3, LMMA, and S3A CTR/TC GE Dresser Series Register Settings and Direct
Drive Programming Information on page 88.
To program the 100G ERT module
Program the meter drive rate into the commercial ERT module 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 ERT module. 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 commercial ERT module 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 ERT module assembly will read
to the nearest cubic foot.
