Chapter 3 Installing the Intelis MeterThis section provides the Intelis meter installation information.Warning: This product, as of the date of its manufacture, is designed and tested toconform to all governmental or industry safety standards then existing as well asmay apply to the manufacturer. The purchaser and user of this product are warnedthat compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and procedures is required inorder to avoid the hazards of leaking gas resulting from improper installation, start-up, or use of this product, and further, that all fire control, building codes, or othersafety regulations established under public laws which regulate or govern theapplication, installation, operation, or general use of this product, should becomplied with. In order to ensure the safe and proper operation of this product, themanufacturer recommends that a qualified technician install this product.The Intelis meter must be installed with the inlet to the left, the outlet to theright, the meter in a horizontal position and with the LCD facing out.Prior to start-upRead the meter badge data regarding maximum allowable operating pressure and capacityflow rate to be sure the meter meets the installation requirements.Sight across both swivel flanges or test with a suitable bar to determine that they arenominally in the same plane and will not cause excessive strain on the meter or piping whenthe connection nuts are tightened.Start-up1. Blowout the service lines before the meter is installed to ensure no dirt, debris, or liquidsof any kind will be carried into the meter when the gas is flowing in the line.2. Place a new connection washer (gasket) on each swivel pilot.OpenWay® Riva Intelis Gas Installation Guide TDC-1782-000 11Proprietary and Confidential
3. Support the meter so that both hubs are against the connection washers and run theconnection nuts down hand tight.4. In an alternating fashion, tighten the nuts to the appropriate torque for the connectionsize.5. Prior to turning on the gas in a new installation, check the meter's downstream system toensure that all connections are leak free or that the downstream valve, if one is present,is closed.Note: It is well worth the time checking connections to avoid an inadvertent anddangerous gas stream in the atmosphere.6. Open the upstream and downstream valves very slowly to prevent any pressure surgesinto or out of the meter.Caution: Avoid high differential pressure across the meter. Abnormal differentialpressures can damage internal meter components.7. Crack each valve open for a few seconds and then slowly-over a period of 10 seconds (¼PSIG systems)-turn the valve to the ¼ open position and then to the full open position.Caution: It is a good practice to pressurize the meter with the inlet valve so themeter runs forward. Locked off gas in a downstream section of a high pressuresystem could damage a meter with a reverse stop if the outlet valve from themeter is opened first.8. After the meter is pressurized, apply a soap solution or other good leak detecting liquid tothe connections to check for leaks.The Intelis meter capacity and pressure loss testThe Intelis meter capacity and pressure loss test confirms the meter's operating capacity.Installing the Intelis MeterOpenWay® Riva Intelis Gas Installation Guide TDC-1782-000 12Proprietary and Confidential
Chapter 4 Proving and Calibrating the IntelisMeterThis section provides information about the Intelis meter proving, testing, and calibratingprocess.Warning: Follow your company's standard operating procedures regarding the useof personal protection equipment (PPE). Adhere to guidelines issued by yourcompany in addition to those contained in this document when proving meters.The Intelis meter Test Mode and a proving station are used to confirm the calibration andaccuracy of the meter.Note: Test Mode is used in a meter shop or by a regulatory body. Some meter configurationis required for the meter to communication with the prover type.Proving the Intelis meter requires attaching the prover cable between the meter and theproving station. After the accuracy of the meter is confirmed or calibration is complete, theproving cable is removed and the meter returns to normal operation.Note: Temper meters unpackaged and uncapped in the proving area for 24 hours prior tothe testing. Some configuration of the meter is necessary for the prover station type. Thisconfiguration is completed using the FDM configuration file.Proving accessory Itron part numberIntelis prover cable CFG-7100-001Prover typesThere are a variety of prover types that can be used to prove the Intelis meter. Two interfaceoptions are shown in the following illustrations. For your specific prover, see thedocumentation for your prover type.OpenWay® Riva Intelis Gas Installation Guide TDC-1782-000 13Proprietary and Confidential
Proving operationsProving the Intelis meter involves the following tasks.1. Configuring Test Mode.2. Entering Test Mode.3. Recording prover consumption.4. Exiting Test Mode.5. Adjusting the calibration.Configuring Test ModeTest Mode configuration is completed using Field Deployment Manager (FDM) in one of twoways.• By loading the meter configuration from the FDM server using FDM mobile client.• By entering the parameters directly into the FDM mobile client which are then sent to themeter.The FDM configuration file must contain the listed information to complete the Test Modeconfiguration. After the meter receives the proper Test Mode configuration parameters, FDMis used to perform a Get of the attributes to display the value types.1. Set the pulse weight.2. Set the pulse width.3. Set the Test Mode maximum time.Entering Test ModeEntering Test Mode is accomplished using either the FDM mobile client or through themagnet in the head of the prover cable. The default is for the Intelis meter to enter TestMode after the prover cable pick up head magnet is detected. After the Intelis moves to TestMode, the following steps occur.1. The Intelis logs an Entering Test Mode event.2. The Intelis enters Test Mode.Caution: If the meter is operating in prover mode with a flow rate greater than 3.6CCF (360 cf) per hour with a pulse weight of 0.1 cf (the firmware default setting)and a pulse width of 1000 ms, the pulse output will always be high. This isbecause the meter is outputting a pulse every 1 second and the pulse width isalso 1 second. As the pulse weight is decreased and the pulse width is increased,the meter moves to 100% duty cycle. Reprove the meter by beginning with aQreal setting of 360 cfh (10194.064 Iph) and the pulse width set at 1000 ms.Measure the pulse output.3. The Intelis meter index is reset to a zero reading.4. The Intelis meter starts an optical pulse output.Proving and Calibrating the Intelis MeterOpenWay® Riva Intelis Gas Installation Guide TDC-1782-000 14Proprietary and Confidential
5. The Intelis meter LCD moves to Test Display Mode.Note: When the Intelis meter is in Test Display Mode, FDM can be used to confirm themeter is in Test Mode.Recording prover consumptionWhile the Intelis meter is in Test Mode, the listed operations occur.1. The Intelis meter records the Test Mode consumption in the index registers.2. The Intelis meter continues to output an optical pulse.Note: While the Intelis is in Test Mode, the LCD refresh rate is more frequent than whenthe meter is operating in Normal Mode.3. The Intelis meter continues to update the normal volume registers.Exiting Test ModeThe Intelis meter exits Test Mode after it receives a command from the FDM mobile client,after the proving cable head is removed from the meter, or when the Test Mode timeout isreached. The following operations occur when the Intelis exits Test Mode.1. The Intelis meter logs an Exiting Test Mode event.2. The Intelis meter ends the optical pulse output.3. The Intelis meter LCD returns to normal display mode.Note: Perform a Get to verify the Intelis meter is no longer in Test Mode.Adjusting the Intelis meter calibrationAdjusting the Intelis meter begins when FDM sends the FDM configuration file that containsthe parameters used by the Intelis to calculate correction factors for the flow rates.Note: The FDM configuration file values are not the correction factors but parameters thatare the result of the Test Mode ran in the utility meter shop.The FDM configuration file initiates the following calibration operations.1. The Intelis meter enters a Calibration in Progress state.2. The Intelis meter calculates correction factors for the assigned flow rate to meet thecalibration parameters.3. The Intelis meter sends the correction factors to the internal measurement device whichthen, calibrates itself.4. The Intelis meter logs a Meter Calibrated event.5. The Intelis meter moves to a Calibration Not in Progress state.Note: Perform a Get to confirm the status of the calibration process.Proving and Calibrating the Intelis MeterOpenWay® Riva Intelis Gas Installation Guide TDC-1782-000 15Proprietary and Confidential
