2.
3.
4.
Remove index +index cover from gas meter.
Mount AMR transmitter onto gas meter.
Assemble index and cover onto AMR transmitter.
Initialize AMR transmitter with HHT.
Remove index cover
1. Use the flat screwdriver to punch out the seals that cover the four (4) index
cover screws.
2. Remove and properly dispose the four (4) screws holding the index cover
onto meter, with flat screwdriver. If two (2) or more 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.
3. 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.
4. With a putty knife, scrap away any gasket material that remained on the
meter when the index cover was removed.
5. Remove the index and index cover and place on a clean surface near you for
reinstallation later.
