CHAPTER 1 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Itron 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the endpoint. 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints have the same increased output power as the first generation 100G Gas Endpoints for greater RF transmission distance. The 100G directmount endpoint reads and transmits a Standard Consumption Message (SCM) with magnetic-tamper and tilt-tamper data.

Chapter 1 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Installation Prerequisites Prior to installation, verify you have the following items: 1. 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints designed for your specific brand of residential or commercial gas meters (endpoints include new tamper seals). 2. A compatible meter (see the Meter Compatibility List on page 2). 3. A compatible index. Itron 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints are compatible with standard dial and direct-read (odometer) indexes.
Installation Prerequisites • Replacement screws - to mount the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly to the meter and the index to the endpoint housing: Replacement Screws Meter To mount the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on the meter: Itron Part Number Elster American 1/4 - 20 x 5/8" slotted, Fillister head 8 - 32 x 3/16" slotted, round pan-head Sensus/Rockwell 10 - 24 x 5/8" slotted Fillister head 6 - 32 x 5/8" slotted, round pan-head Itron/Actaris 10 - 24 x 5/8" slotted Fillister head 10 -

CHAPTER 2 Elster American Meter Installation This chapter provides instructions to install the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint on an Elster American Meter. Installing the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint involves four tasks: 1. Removing the index from the meter. 2. Assembling the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint and index. 3. Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly. 4. Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly to the meter.
Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation 2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to reattach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard. Note You may use the removed index cover as a temporary storage container for screws. Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. 3.
Installation Prerequisites To Assemble the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint and Index 1. Separate the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing. 2. Set the endpoint cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt or snow. The cover will be used later in this installation procedure.
Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation Note Elster American meter indexes are available in different models: Index wrigglers on one-foot meters with drive slots Index meters on two-foot meters with drive posts An Elster American index with mounting screw holes An Elster American index with mounting slots If your index has mounting screw slots, skip steps 3 and 4. If your index has mounting screw holes, perform steps 3 and 4, and skip steps 5 and 6. 3.
Installation Prerequisites 4. Attach the screw to the endpoint housing's right-index mounting post just enough to hold the screw and the right end of the index in place. 5. Screw one 8 - 32 x 3/16" screw into the right index mounting post one or two turns. Do not tighten the screw. 6. Place the right index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not tighten the screw. 7. Slide the index drive post into the endpoint wriggler. Verify positive engagement.
Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation 9. Slide the endpoint cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The endpoint label should be clearly visible and easily read. Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly The 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint must be programmed with the FC200SR handheld computer loaded with EndPoint-Link® or Point-Link Pro® software version 5.3 or later. See the Endpoint-Link v5.
Programming the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly The endpoint is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower left dial on the index. The endpoint is programmed based on the drive rate. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-cubic foot or 2-cubic feet. To Program the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint using the FC200SR.
Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Elster American Meter After 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint programming is complete, attach the endpoint assembly to the Elster American Meter. Warning For 5B Meters only: If the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint will be installed on a 5B-225 aluminum meter, cut 1/16" off each endpoint wriggler post to prevent the wriggler from rubbing on the face of the nut holding the meter drive dog in place.
Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Elster American Meter 2. Carefully align the endpoint's four screw holes with the holes on the meter. Attach using the original mounting screws if they are the correct size and are not corroded (1/4 - 20 x 5/8" screws.) If the original screws were discarded, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 8).
Chapter 2 Elster American Meter Installation 4. Complete necessary paperwork and verify all excess materials are removed from the customer's premises. 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint installation on the Elster American meter is complete.
