Remove the Index
The first major step when installing a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on a meter is to remove
the index from the meter.
To remove the index
1. Remove tamper seals from the meter.
2. Remove and keep the cover screws.
3. Remove the index cover from the meter.
4. Check the screws for length and corrosion. If they are 5/8 inches long and not
corroded, you can use them to attach the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module to the meter.
If the screws are not the correct length, or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Replace them with the screws listed in Replacement Screws on page 38.
5. Use the index cover just removed as a temporary storage location for screws.
NOTE Dispose of the index cover properly when finished with the installation
procedure. Do not leave it on customer premises.
6. Loosen the index mounting screws one-half turn.

Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation
7. Slide the index up off its mounting screws and remove it from the meter. Set the index
where it won't get damaged or dirty.
8. Remove the index mounting screws from the meter. Check the screws for length and
corrosion. If they are 1/4 inches long and not corroded, you can use them to attach the
index to the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module.
If the screws are not the correct length, or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Replace them with the screws listed in Replacement Screws on page 38.
9. Remove all traces of the old index gasket from the meter. The new 2.4GZ OpenWay
Gas Module has its own gasket.
10. Dispose of the old gasket properly and do not leave it on the customer premises.
Assemble the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
When installing a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, the next major step is to create the
endpoint module assembly by combining the endpoint backplate and cover with the meter
index.

8. Hold the index in place with your thumb and tighten the index mounting screws.
9. Slide the cover over the index and onto the backplate until it is against the gasket.
Program the OpenWay Gas Module
Once the OpenWay Gas Module has been assembled, the module must be programmed
using FieldPro on a laptop with a ZigBee dongle. Refer to FieldPro documentation for
programming information.
IMPORTANT You must perform the following programming procedure for
the OpenWay Gas Module to function properly.
When programming the OpenWay Gas Module, you must take note of the drive rate shown
on the index of Actaris meters.
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
43
Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation
To Program the OpenWay Gas Module
1. Make sure the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module is within 10 feet of the programming
device.
2. Verify that the programming software is running.
3. Verify that red LED on ZigBee dongle is on.
4. Hold the magnet under the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module for 5 seconds and then
remove it. You will see three red blinks from the LED. This signifies that the 2.4GZ
OpenWay Gas Module is searching for a programming device. Within a few seconds
the red LED will blink five more times. The programming device will indicate
programming success or failure.
a) If five red LED blinks are not seen on the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, hold the
magnet under 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module for 5 seconds.
b) If 5 red LED blinks are seen on the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, but the
programming device indicates that programming failed, verify the following (1)
2.4GZ is within 10 foot range of programming device and (2) programming
software is using correct security key. Repeat holding magnet under 2.4GZ for 5
seconds.
When the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module has been programmed to normal mode, it is ready
to commission to an OpenWay CENTRON meter. If an OpenWay CENTRON meter is
within range of the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, the red LED on the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas
Module will blink three times, indicating that it is looking for all available OpenWay
CENTRON meters.
After choosing the OpenWay CENTRON meter with the best signal, the 2.4GZ OpenWay
Gas Module will blink five times to indicate successful commissioning to the meter. The
timing for this could be as quick as one second after being programmed. If within two
minutes of successful programming, the five blinks are not seen, make note of the
installation for further investigation.
NOTE Itron will be moving to this programming solution in 2008
1. Using the FC200 and Belt Clip radio, program the reading of the index that was on the
meter into the OpenWay Gas Module assembly.
During programming, the OpenWay Gas Module is programmed to the nearest 100
cubic feet; the last two digits (the tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). Once
programming is complete, however, the OpenWay Gas Module assembly can be read
to the nearest cubic foot.
2. Slowly turn the OpenWay Gas Module drive wriggler two turns in the direction
indicated on the index drive rate. This lets you verify the module is counting properly
after assembly.
44
2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide
Installing the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module
IMPORTANT Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second.
3. Read the OpenWay Gas Module assembly using the FC200 and Belt Clip radio.
Consult the EndPoint-Link Programming Guide or other applicable instructions for
details on how to read an OpenWay Gas Module.
•
If this reading is higher than the one you programmed in step 1 above, the
module assembly is counting correctly.
If the OpenWay Gas Module assembly reading is not higher than what was programmed in
step 1, replace the module with a new one.

Attach the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module to the Meter
After the endpoint has been programmed and is reading correctly, it must be attached to the
meter. Follow the steps below to do this.
To attach the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module to the meter
1. Turn the white wriggler so one of its four drive slots lines up with the drive dog.
2. Gently place the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module on the meter.
If there is a gap between the gasket and the meter, it is probably because the drive slot
of the ERT module assembly's wriggler is not properly aligned with the meter
wriggler drive dog. To correct this, remove the assembly and repeat the alignment
procedure in step one.
