2Two-Way Gas Endpoint Installation Guide 98-1123 Rev AA 7Pre-InstallationProper planning and thorough preparation are critical for successful installation. This chapter outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase.SAFETY OVERVIEWPrior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer safety training plan for initial, refresher, and ongoing safety training. Ensure that installers receive appropriate initial and refresher training to meet their specific safety-related responsibilities. Safety training must be provided when:• An existing installer assumes new duties for which he or she has not previously received training.• New processes and methodologies representing new risks are introduced into the installation environment.• Previously unidentified risks are reported.The installation supervisory team assumes responsibility for ensuring that installers are properly trained, authorized, and continually qualified to perform their work. The team must also take responsibility for the safety of their installers and to assure safe work methodologies. Installers must understand that their supervisor’s responsibility does not relieve them from their individual responsibility to perform the work safely and to follow all safety rules and procedures applicable to their work.Table 2-1.

The LED lights red, and the internal speaker sounds for approximately 1/2 second. If nothing happens or the LED lights and speaker sound continuously, then the 9V battery is probably low and needs to be replaced.To access the battery compartment, open the spring-loaded cover on the back of the RF Buster. Take care not to misplace the cover or damage the battery door spring mechanism.Figure 2 - 1.

Take care to check the work area each time you change locations. Be certain there are no tools left behind.Do not clean the module or the cover on-site.

Landis+Gyr Chapter 2 - PreinstallationTwo-Way Gas Endpoint Installation Guide 98-1123 Rev AA 9Install Material The Gas Meter Exchange process consists of using predetermined route information that identifies the meters that need to be retrofitted with the Landis+Gyr Gas Meter Module and methods for recording data to document the installation. The route information describing the account address, existing meter ID, estimated meter reads, and any special instructions that describe circumstances unique to that particular account is supplied at the Cross Dock.From the Cross Dock, obtain the Meter Modules to be installed. Installers will be issued data that includes the route, address, meter ID, and estimated read for the particular meters, plus specific instructions and required field collects information. Each installer must validate that the route information is correct before leaving the Cross Dock.Meter CompatibilityThis Gas meter Compatibility List is the result of retrofit experience and feedback from American Meter.Every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this table. There may be limitations to compatibility unknown to Landis+Gyr due to changes made which L+G has been unable to document through our research and substantial meter library. Any questions about the compatibility information should be forwarded to your L+G representative.Metal indexes cannot be used and must be replaced. Only indexes with plastic gears and pointers are supported.Table 2-2.

There are two part numbers used. The Long Post unit, model # 26-1204, is used for pointer-type indexes. The Short Post unit, model #26-1237, is used for odometer-type indexes. Beyond post length, modules can be differentiated in multiple ways. Check the lower bar code label on the side of the module cover. The model number is listed at the beginning of the label, and the last two characters that appear will be either “LP” or “SP” to indicate the model unit.Figure 2 - 2.

Chapter 2 - Preinstallation Landis+Gyr12 98-1123 Rev AA Two-Way Gas Endpoint Installation Guide• Safe driving• Use of hand tools• Confined spacePreliminary ChecksThe installer should already be able to operate the Handheld computer. Additionally, you should already have route information and the required number of endpoints.• Verify that you are at the correct site, specified on the handheld computer or work order.• Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment.• Notify the customer of your presence. Tell the customer that you must have access to the meter. If necessary, have the customer sign the work order.• When installing meters, follow any guidelines issued by your company in addition to those given in this guide.• Never perform an installation during a lightning storm or under excessively wet conditions.Site RequirementsThe site must comply with the following criteria:• There is no chance that another object will be set over the antenna.• Some instances may require additional cable. • Maximum cable length is always 200 feet.FCC Information to the UserManufacturer: CellnetModel Name: Gridstream M120FCC ID: R7PER6R1S1This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
