2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
CHAPTER 2
American Meter Installation
This chapter shows you how to install a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on an American
meter.
Before installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, verify that you have:
•
A compatible meter shown in the Meter Compatibility List.
•
A compatible index. Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Modules can be used with standard
dial and direct read (odometer) indexes.
•
The list of materials defined under Installation Prerequisites in this chapter.
Installation Prerequisites
The following items are required to install the Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module.
Materials Supplied By Itron
The following items are supplied by Itron:
•
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Modules
•
New tamper seals
Materials Supplied By You
You must supply the following items to install, initialize, and check the 2.4GZ OpenWay
Gas Module on the meter.
•
Small and medium flat-blade or Phillips screwdrivers Used to remove and tighten
index and index-cover screws.
•
Side-cutting plier/wire snips Used for cutting wire seals, if necessary.
•
Small putty knife Used to remove all traces of old gaskets from the meter.
•
Meter seals, wire seals, and seal press Used to secure the meter from tampering, if
necessary.
•
11/32-inch nut driver or other blunt tool Used to securely seat new tamper plugs
over screw holes.
•
Replacement screws Used to mount 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module assembly to
meter and index to module assembly backplates.
Replacement Screws
Replacement screws used in this procedure are shown below.
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Chapter 2 American Meter Installation
For mounting 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module assemblies on meters:
•
Use 1/4 - 20 x 5/8-inch slotted, Fillister head screws.
For mounting indexes on 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module backplates:
•
Use 8 - 32 x 3/16-inch slotted, round head screws.
Preinstallation Preparations
Before installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on a meter, verify that:
•
All Itron gas modules are 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Modules for your brand of gas
meters.
•
The model numbers of all meters on which the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Modules will be
installed are included in the Meter Compatibility List.
Installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
There are four major steps to installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on a meter:
•
Remove the index
•
Assemble the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
•
Program the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
•
Attach the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module to the meter.
NOTE Properly dispose of all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper
seals, and other left-over materials. Do not leave any materials on customer
premises.
Remove the Index
The first major step when installing a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on an American meter
is to remove the index from the meter.
To Remove the Index
1. Remove any tamper seals from the meter.
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
2. Detach the index cover from the meter by removing the four screws holding it in
place.
3. Examine the index cover screws you just removed. Verify that they are 5/8-inches
long and are not corroded.
•
If the screws are the correct length, and are not corroded, keep them for later
use.
•
If the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Use the screws listed in Replacement Screws on page 7.
TIP You can use the index cover you just removed as a temporary storage
location for screws.
4. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely.
Hold one hand beneath the index to catch the screw when it falls out of the index
assembly. If it does not fall out by itself, be sure to remove it.
5. Unscrew the other index mounting screw.
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Chapter 2 American Meter Installation
While removing this screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep its backplate
(1) against the back of the screwhead (2). This prevents the screw from falling out
prematurely.
6. Remove the screw from the index once it is completely free of its hole.
7. Set the index aside for the moment. Place it where it will not be damaged; get filled
with dirt, rain, or snow; or fall to the ground or floor. The index will be used later in
this procedure.
8. Examine the index screws you just removed. Verify that they are 3/16-inch long and
are not corroded.
•
If the screws are 3/16-inch long and are not corroded, keep them for later use.
•
If the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Use 8 - 32 x 3/16-inch screws as described in Replacement Screws on page 7
instead.
9. Use a putty knife or similar object to completely remove the old index gasket from the
meter (if applicable). All traces of the gasket must be removed before the OpenWay
Gas Module can be installed.
10
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
Assemble the OpenWay Gas Module
When installing a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, the next major step is to create the
OpenWay Gas Module assembly by combining the module backplate and cover with the
meter index. Follow the procedure below to do so.
To Assemble the OpenWay Gas Module
1. Obtain a new 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module.
2. Separate the module backplate (1) from the cover (2).
3. Set the new OpenWay Gas Module index cover aside for the moment. Place it where
it will not be damaged; get filled with dirt, rain, or snow; or fall to the ground or floor.
The index cover will be used later in this procedure.
IMPORTANT Before continuing with the installation, note the following
information about American Meter indexes:
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
11
Chapter 2 American Meter Installation
•
Index wrigglers on one-foot meters have drive slots.
•
Index wrigglers on two-foot meters have drive posts.
•
An index may have mounting screw holes.
•
An index may have mounting screw slots.
If the index has mounting screw slots, skip steps 4 and 5 below. Continue with step 6.
12
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
If the index has mounting screw holes, perform steps 4 and 5 below, and then skip
steps 6 and 7.
4. If the index has mounting screw holes, place an index mounting screw (1) in the righthand mounting screw hole (2). Use one 8 - 32 3/16-inch screw for this step (you can
use an original mounting screw if it was the correct size and not corroded; otherwise,
use the correct size replacement screw).
5. Attach the screw to the OpenWay Gas Module backplate's right-hand index mounting
post just far enough to hold the screw and end of the index in place.
6. If the index has mounting screw slots, screw an index mounting screw (1) one to two
turns into the OpenWay Gas Module backplate's right-hand index mounting post (2).
Use one 8 - 32 x 3/16-inch screw for this step (you can use an original mounting
screw if it was the correct size and not corroded; otherwise, use the correct size
replacement screw).
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
13
Chapter 2 American Meter Installation
7. Place the index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not tighten the screw
yet.
8. Attach the wriggler to the index and backplate.
•
If the index wriggler has a drive slot (1), place the backplate wriggler's drive
post (2) in the index wriggler's drive slot.
