It covers the proper placement of the RF Buster to ensure activation and troubleshooting for Cellnet gas modules. REQUIRED TOOLS RF Buster ‐ part number 26‐1050 Before using the RF Buster, test it. Press the button on the RF Buster. The RF Buster’s LED lights red, and the internal speaker sounds for approximately ½ second. If nothing happens, or if the LED lights and the speaker sounds continuously, the 9V battery may be low. Replace it. `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ `JN rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=oc=_ìëíÉê RESIDENTIAL METER MODULES American Modules Press the button with the light facing you on the lower end of the RF Buster. Place the corner of the RF Buster containing the magnet by the location of the Reed Switch on the Meter Module. Continue to press the button. Hold the RF Buster within about six inches of the meter. The magnet triggers ten RF transmissions from the gas module, separated by one second each transmission. The RF Buster LED lights red and the internal speaker sounds approximately ½ second for each transmission detected. If the RF Buster does not detect a transmission from the module, remove the four cover screws and place the RF Buster in the proper location. While pressing the Push Button, pull the cover off the module. • If the module is functional, it transmits. If the RF Buster does not respond, consider the module defective and follow the appropriate procedure.

Figure C.2 Rockwell/Equimeter/Sensus RF Buster placement Sprague/Schlumberger/Actaris Modules Press the button with the light facing you on the lower end of the RF Buster. Place the corner of the RF Buster containing the magnet at an angle by the location of the Reed Switch on the gas meter module (top left corner). Continue to press the button. Hold the RF Buster within about six inches of the meter. The magnet triggers ten RF transmissions from the gas meter module, separated by one second each transmission. The RF Buster LED lights red and the internal speaker sounds approximately ½ second for each transmission detected. Because of the proximity of the different switches on the Sprague Module board, ensure that you approach the module from the top left corner as seen in the picture below. If the RF Buster does not detect a transmission from the module, remove the two cover screws and place the RF Buster in the proper location. While holding the Push Button, pull the cover off of the module. • If the module is functional, it transmits. `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ `JP rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=oc=_ìëíÉê • If the RF Buster does not respond, consider the module defective and follow the appropriate procedure.

Place the corner of the RF Buster containing the magnet by the location of the Reed Switch on the CPR. Continue to press the button. Hold the RF Buster within about six inches of the CPR. The magnet triggers ten RF transmissions from the CPR, separated by one second per transmission. The RF Buster LED lights red and the internal speaker sounds approximately ½ second for each transmission detected. If there is no response, remove the cover of the CPR for proper orientation.

This information should only be used by experienced users. DOCKING THE HANDHELD At the end of the day (and at other times for various reasons), dock the Handheld to upload meter installation data and plug it in to recharge the battery. Select DOCK from the functions screen. Figure D.1 Handheld after Dock has been selected Follow instructions on the screen. `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ aJN båÇ=çÑ=a~ó=e~åÇÜÉäÇ=fåëíêìÅíáçåë After data has been uploaded, plug Handheld into charging cable. Figure D.2 Handheld DAP charging POWER REQUIREMENTS Never allow the battery to die completely. Although the route data saves to the flash memory card, there is no EPROM memory in the Handheld. You will have to reload the code and re‐calibrate the battery. Do not remove the battery. The batteries are not made to be replaced as with the other Handheld’s. Rebooting There are three ways to reboot the Handheld: aJO Press the F1, 9, and 0 simultaneously for approximately five seconds. Press the following keys blue, CTL, ALT, blue, DEL. Exit the application (From the Functions screen select Dock, do not place in cradle or plug in as requested. Press the shift key followed by F5). Type “C:” then press ENTER. Type “reset” then press ENTER. `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ båÇ=çÑ=a~ó=e~åÇÜÉäÇ=fåëíêìÅíáçåë HOW TO CHANGE THE HANDHELD ID Occasionally the Handheld ID may be entered incorrectly or the wrong Handheld ID may be in a Handheld because of a memory card exchange. This section tells how to change the Handheld ID to the correct number. Place the Handheld in the cradle and dock it. Open up the most recent version of Handheld Edit. Select “Communication” then “Transfer Files” from the menu on Handheld Edit. On the right side of the pop up window, double click on the [CELLNET] folder. Select Unitinfo.dat and delete it. Select “Yes” to verify that you want to delete the file. Select “OK” on the pop up window and close Handheld Edit. The Handheld will then prompt you to enter the last 4 digits of the serial number on the back of the Handheld. Before using the Handheld, make sure the proper route information is loaded into the Handheld. KNOWN COMMON PROBLEMS • If the Handheld gets jarred, the memory card may become dislodged slightly. This makes it look like all of the data has been lost‐ but it is still there. Unscrew the two screws at the top of the Handheld below the Infra‐red scanner. Re‐seat the card and re‐tighten the cover. You may need to re‐boot the Handheld. • If the blue key and then one of the arrow keys is pushed, part of the screen seems to disappear. The screen was designed to hold more data. Blue key + arrow is how you shift the screen to view that data. Push the blue button and the arrow key in the opposite direction of the screen shift. `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ aJP båÇ=çÑ=a~ó=e~åÇÜÉäÇ=fåëíêìÅíáçåë Notes: aJQ `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ APPENDIX E DIFFICULT/NON-COMPATIBLE COMMERCIAL RETROFITS This Appendix provides detailed instructions on installing commercial gas modules in difficult settings, as well as non‐compatible module installations. INDEX BASE PLATES WITH INTEGRAL SEAL CAPS Meters encountered with the index base plate (Figure E.1) require the base plate replaced with one that does not have integral “towers”. The American Meter part number for a Base Plate with no towers for Diaphragm meters is 48828P038. Refer to www.americanmeter.com for more information. Figure E.1 Index Base Plate `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ bJN aáÑÑáÅìäíLkçåJÅçãé~íáÄäÉ=`çããÉêÅá~ä=oÉíêçÑáíë Pressure Tabs Meters with Pressure tabs on the surface near the Index must be retrofitted in such a way that access to the pressure tap is not comprised. mêÉëëìêÉ=q~é=äçÅ~íáçå=mäìÖ=ãìëí= ÄÉ=êÉãçîÉÇ=~åÇ=éêÉëëìêÉ=ëÉåëçê= áåëí~ääÉÇK Figure E.2 Meters with Pressure Tabs Figure E.2 indicates the locations of the pressure tap plugs that will be found on large meters. Figure E.3 shows a meter with an installed pressure fitting, a “Pete’s Plug”. The module installation must not interfere with the meter installation. mêÉëëìêÉ=~Ç~éíÉê Figure E.3 Pressure Adapter bJO `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ aáÑÑáÅìäíLkçåJÅçãé~íáÄäÉ=`çããÉêÅá~ä=oÉíêçÑáíë For all of these meters the transmitter portion of the module needs to be mounted so that access is still available to the pressure tap, as shown in Figure E.4. Figure E.4 Mounting Module’s Transmitter `ÉääåÉí=d~ë=jçÇìäÉ=~åÇ=jÉíÉê=fåëí~ää~íáçå=dìáÇÉ bJP aáÑÑáÅìäíLkçåJÅçãé~íáÄäÉ=`çããÉêÅá~ä=oÉíêçÑáíë Reverse Loop Installations Some meters will be installed with the piping reversed from the preferred orientation. In these cases the index is reversed to face the back of the meter. It is extremely important in these cases that the Base Plate be mounted such that the index drive from the meter be centered in the hole in the Base plate. See Figure E.5 for an example of the insert base plate mounted backwards. Figure E.5 Plate Mounted Backwards If this is encountered it can be corrected by rotating the Index Base Plate 180 degrees. Large Pipe Fittings Figure E.6 shows a meter that does not have adequate clearance between the Pipe fitting nuts and the module transmitter. In installations such as this, the module bracket must be removed before the meter can be removed from service.

CRIMPING WIRES Push the wires to be connected as far as possible into the Scotchlok connector. Figure F.1 Wires Pushed into Scotchlok Connector Place the Scotchlok connector (with wires) into the jaws of the crimping tool.
