Removing the Index/ Index Assembly from the Meter
Commercial 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints can be mounted on Elster American Meters
in various configurations. These instructions show metal mounting plates without tamper
seal cups and plastic mounting plates with tamper seal cups to represent mounting plate
options.
Mounting plate with tamper seal cups Mounting plate without tamper seal cups
Indexes may be mounted on the 100G Datalogging Commercial Elster American Gas
Endpoint without mounting plates.
Index covers may (or may not) have tamper seal cups (on the back of the cover) for added
security. Index removal assumes the installer will remove any tamper seals or wires before
continuing with these instructions.
Note It may not be necessary to dismantle your commercial index assembly (index and
cover). These instructions do not include index/cover assembly for those applications.
Some diaphragm commercial meters do not require an index assembly mounting plate.
Indexes can be mounted directly to the endpoint.
Removing the Index/ Index Assembly from the Meter
100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 59
To Remove the Index Assembly
1. Remove any tamper seals (1) (or wire seals) from the index cover and mounting plate
screws (2). Set the index/cover assembly aside. You will re-install it later in these
instructions.
2. Remove the index cover screws from the meter. Verify screws are 1/2" long and are
not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and are not corroded, keep them to
re-install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly later in this procedure. If the
screws are damaged or not the correct length, discard.
Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals,
and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises.

Programming the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas
Endpoint
The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint must be programmed with the FC200SR
handheld computer loaded with EndPoint-Link® or Point-Link Pro® software version
5.3 or later. See the Endpoint-Link v5.3 (or later) Endpoint Programming Guide
(TDC-0744) for more complete programming information.
Caution The 100G Datalogging Commercial Endpoint must be programmed
before use. Follow the steps in this section to properly program the endpoint.
Progra
mming the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint
100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 61
Take note of the index drive rate shown on the index. The endpoint is programmed based on
the drive rate. Elster American commercial meter index drive rates may be 5-, 10- or 100
cubic feet.
To Program the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint
1. Program the index drive rate into the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint using the
FC200SR. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the FC200SR
as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the FC200SR 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 mode defined by your system
administrator.
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.
Caution Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second.
Chapter 6 Elster American and Itron Actaris Commercial Meter Installation
62 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount
3. Read the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint using the FC200SR.
• 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.

meter's wriggler teeth.
Warning The INLET label on the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint
must line up with the INLET label on the meter case.
3. Verify the bottom of the endpoint and the top of the meter meet. The endpoint housing
should rest on top of the meter without gaps.
Warning Do not press down on the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas
Endpoint if a gap exists between the endpoint and the meter.
A gap may be caused by misalignment of the endpoint wriggler and meter
wriggler's drive teeth. Pushing down on the endpoint could damage the
endpoint wriggler or meter drive teeth. To eliminate a gap, slowly turn the
endpoint's upper wriggler back and forth until the endpoint aligns with the
meter's drive teeth.

Endpoint so the printing "FLOW FRONT AL800 AL1000 AL1400 AL2300 AL5000
TURBINE ROTARY" stamped on the plate is toward the front of the meter. (A gap
between the mounting plate and meter at the screw locations is normal.)
5. Install four mounting screws (SCR-0062-001 - see Installation Prerequisites on page 8
for screw information) and tighten them in an alternating diagonal sequence. For
metal mounting plates with a flat screw surface, use endpoint mounting screws with
internal tooth washers. For plastic mounting plates with tamper screw cups, use
endpoint mounting screws (AS-568A-011, 5/16" ID x 7/16" OD o-rings may be used
for a maximum moisture seal). Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the
mounting plate. If you have access to a torque driver, tighten mounting screws to 72
inch-pounds.
6. Place new tamper seals over screws (if mounting plate has tamper seal cups) and press
into place with an 11/32" nut driver or similar blunt tool.

turns. Insert the last mounting screw and tighten until snug. Tighten the remaining
mounting screws in an alternating, diagonal pattern until snug. All mounting screws
must be tightened evenly.
Warning A gap may be caused by misalignment of the endpoint wriggler and
meter wriggler's drive teeth. Pushing down on the endpoint could damage the
endpoint wriggler or meter drive teeth. To eliminate a gap, remove the endpoint
assembly and re-align the endpoint wriggler with the meter drive dog.
2. Complete necessary paperwork and verify all excess materials are removed from the
customer's premises.

Programming the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas
Endpoint Assembly
The 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint must be programmed with the
FC200SR handheld computer loaded with EndPoint-Link® or Point-Link Pro® software
version 5.3 or later. See the Endpoint-Link v5.3 (or later) Endpoint Programming
Guide (TDC-0744) for more complete programming information.
Caution The 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint must be programmed
before use. Follow the steps in this section to properly program the endpoint.
The endpoint is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. See B3, LMMA, and S3A
CTR/TC Dresser ROOTS Series Register Settings and Direct Drive Programming
Information on page 93.
To Program the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint
using the FC200SR. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the
FC200SR as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the FC200SR 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 mode defined by your
system administrator.
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.
Chapter 8 Dresser ROOTS Commercial Rotary Meter Installation

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 the 100G Datalogging Commercial Gas Endpoint using the FC200SR.
• 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.
