Assemble index onto AMR transmitter. 4. Mount AMR transmitter and cover onto gas meter. 5. Initialize AMR transmitter with HHT. Remove index cover 1. Use flat screwdriver to punch out the seals that cover the two (2) index cover screws. 2. Remove and properly dispose the two (2) screws holding the index cover onto meter, with flat screwdriver. If any screws shear off during the cover removal (or were previously sheared off), the meter will need to be replaced by a qualified utility representative.

Remove, with flat or Phillips screwdriver, and properly dispose the two (2) screws holding the index onto the meter. 2. Remove the index and carefully clean any debris from it. Inspect for proper index operation by turning the input shaft and verifying that the gearing turns freely. Also, inspect the index for any missing or broken hands. Place the index, or a new index if necessary, on a clean surface near you for reinstallation later. 3. If any screws shear off during the cover removal (or were previously sheared off), the meter will need to be replaced by a qualified utility representative. Reinstall any index cover screws that were removed and cap with seals if possible. Enter the appropriate information in the Mint HHT and skip to the next work order. 4. With a putty knife, scrap away any gasket material that remained on the meter when the index cover was removed.

Align the index’s shaft with the Transmitter’s shaft. 3. While holding the index in its position, insert one index screw into the Transmitter. 4. Insert the other screw into place. 5. Tighten the index screws, securing the index to the Transmitter. CAUTION Use care when working with a power screwdriver to insert screws in the plastic Transmitter box. Over tightening will damage the box and/or weaken the contact. !

Prepare the index cover within reach. This should be (replace if necessary) a plastic index cover with bosses for snap seals, as shown in this document. 1. Place the AMR Transmitter+index onto the gas meter. Adjust the Transmitter shaft’s position by holding it from the top, and combine it into the meter’s fork shaped drive dog. Rotate the shaft from the top and verify there is a slight freedom of motion. 2. While holding the Transmitter in place, place the index cover properly on the Transmitter, so that the index cover screw bosses align with the holes in the Transmitter. 3. Insert the two mounting screws through the cover and the Transmitter, and fasten securely to the meter.
