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.)

Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Itron/Actaris Meter
2. If the meter tag mounting holes were damaged during removal so a wire security seal
cannot be used, remove the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint index cover and place
the meter tag inside the endpoint assembly to maintain meter security. (See To
Assemble the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on page 32.)
Warning Placing the brass meter tag inside the 100G Datalogging Gas
Endpoint assembly is not the preferred method of securing the tag to the meter.
Use this method only if the brass meter tag mounting holes are damaged and
cannot be used for mounting. This method does not secure the tag inside the
endpoint. The brass meter tag may move out of view if the meter is bumped or
jarred.

Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to
the National/Lancaster Meter
After the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint has been programmed, attach it to the
National/Lancaster meter.
To Attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint
1. Align the white wriggler (1) so one of its four drive slots lines up with the meter's
drive dog (2).
2. Carefully place the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on the meter.
Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and endpoint drive slot
can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter failure. If there is a gap
between the endpoint gasket and the meter, it may be the drive slot of the
endpoint assembly's wriggler is not correctly aligned with the meter drive slot.
Remove the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly and repeat the
alignment procedure. You must engage endpoint wriggler in the meter drive
dog.
3. Install endpoint to meter mounting screws in an alternating fashion. 100G
Datalogging Gas Endpoints for National/Lancaster meters come with new, differentsize endpoint mounting screws (SCR-0014-004 - see Installation Prerequisites on page
8 for screw information.) Insert the right index cover mounting screw and tighten the
screw enough to hold it in place. Do not completely tighten. Install the left index
cover mounting screw and tighten to a snug fit. Finish by tightening the right
mounting screw to a snug fit. Each endpoint mounting screw must be tightened
evenly.
Important Meter manufacturers should torque the mounting screws 15 to 20
inch-pounds.
