Pre-Installation
Proper planning and thorough preparation are critical for successful installation. This chapter
outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase.
SAFETY OVERVIEW
Prior 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.

RF Busters
Verify that the RF Buster is working correctly. Press and hold the push button Switch. 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.

Your supervisor carries shovels, spades, hack saws, other specialty tools, and
ladders. 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. Static Discharge may result, can
ignite a natural gas leak, and is a risk of fire or explosion.

Install 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 Compatibility
This 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.

Validated Meter Index Part Numbers
Long and Short Post Gridstream M120 Module Covers
Post lengths differ for Gridstream M120 modules used for pointer- and odometer-type indexes.
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 - 3. Long and Short Post Module Cover internal differences
The post length difference in the two models is only about a quarter-inch, but this critical installation
parameter ensures accuracy and functionality. Note also the “1” and “2” cast into the cover next to
the sensor board, with “2” designating pointer index usage and “1” being for the odometer index.
Meter Hardware
Compliance
This apparatus is suitable for Class I, Division 1, Group D Hazardous Locations.
Safety and Environment
Prerequisite Training
Installers should be instructed in the following safety elements as well as any site-specific safety
issues:
• Hazard Communication (Employee Right to Know)
• Lifting
Installing the 26-1204 on a meter with an odometer index may cause the
sensor to break.
Installing the 26-1237 on a meter with a pointer index may cause the
endpoint to count incorrectly.

Relighting All Apparatuses and Confirming Their Operation
Follow the procedure provided to you by the Utility for appliance relighting. If any adverse
conditions arise, immediately shut off the gas, contact your supervisor for instructions, and record
the appropriate comment in the Handheld such as, red/yellow tag defective appliance situation. Enter
a Skip code such as, “red/yellow tag” in the Handheld.
Do not clean the module or the cover on-site. Static discharge can ignite a
natural gas leak and is a risk of fire or explosion.
During the installation, replace all biscuits in the outlet piping, and leave meter
off “as found”.

• Inform the customer as to why the change-out will not take place.
• Document the situation in your handheld.
• Continue on to your next appointment.
If There Is Damage On Site When You Arrive
• Call your Supervisor immediately. Communicate the urgency of the situation. Your Supervisor
will immediately initiate any necessary actions.
• Do not leave the customer site until directed to do so.
• It may be necessary to dial 911.

Battery Change Out
When the NOC analyst notices that the battery flag (R) is set, it could be due to:
• a single end-point occurrence, where the end-point may require more current to operate. In this
case, a single battery needs to be replaced
• occurrence on several end-points, where a battery change out program needs to be implemented
within the following year
• the flag being set during the coldest part of the day, where the battery may have less than 20% of
energy left (2-4 years of service time)
• occurrence more often even during the daylight hours. In this case, the battery has even less
energy remaining (1-2 years of service time)

If the gasket is old and no longer provides a good meter to module seal, replace
the meter gasket with a new one.
If the module has already gone stale, perform the above steps, with the
exception that when the battery door is open, connect the USB programming
cable to the Gridstream M120 module. Use the HH to re-enter the energy value
from the mechanical index dials and re-program the module.
Once the above steps are completed, it will require at least three hours for all
flags to be cleared (based on five transmissions per hour and Alarm Count =
10).

Using the RF Buster
This Appendix provides instructions on the proper use of the RF Buster. It covers the proper
placement of the RF Buster to ensure activation and troubleshooting for L+G gas modules.
Required Tools
The part number for the RF Buster is 26-1050.
Figure B - 1. RF Buster
Before using the RF Buster, test it by pressing the button. 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 the battery and repeat the test.
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.
