rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=e~åÇeÉäÇ=aÉîáÅÉ USING THE DAP HANDHELD This section goes through the process of using a DAP Handheld for the installation of a Cellnet ready meter at a customer account. Getting Started with the Handheld A typical gas meter installation route consists of the following basic steps: OJQ 1 Check out meters with modules already installed and meter modules for retrofit. Pick up Handheld PC and labels.
rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=e~åÇeÉäÇ=aÉîáÅÉ STANDARD METER INSTALLATION AND/OR MODULE RETROFIT This section covers the installer steps and Handheld screens for the meter exchange process or gas module retrofit. Check Route Status 1 Start the Handheld PC by pressing F1 (I/O) button. The screen below displays. If this screen does not display, press Enter or ESC keys to get to the Customer Address screen.

In this example, the utility company requires a description of meter location.
rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=e~åÇeÉäÇ=aÉîáÅÉ Meter Information After pressing ENTER, the Handheld PC displays the following prompts for drive constant and meter reading. Figure 2.8 Handheld Dial read entry screen The meter information screen displays various options for drive constant (also known as the meter constant or drive quantity). Residential gas meters have a drive constant of 1 or 2 (default value); commercial and industrial meters have a drive constant of 5, 10, 50, 100, or 500. . Table 2.
rëáåÖ=íÜÉ=e~åÇeÉäÇ=aÉîáÅÉ 2 Press ENTER. The Handheld PC displays the following prompts for meter reading. Figure 2.9 Handheld number of dials selection screen • The meter information screen displays the following options for the number of reading dials: 4,5,or 6. • The first dial counted is the 1,000 CF/rotation.

CHAPTER 3 ON-SITE PREPARATION ARRIVAL AT INSTALL SITE 1 Upon arriving at the installation site, verify the address in the Handheld. Check the Handheld for special instructions for that site (for example, medical customer, dog, key required for access to meter, meter location, and so on). If a medical alert code appears in the Handheld for that address they are to skip the install enter an appropriate skip code and move to the next exchange. A medical alert tag may be located on the electric meter.
låJpáíÉ=mêÉé~ê~íáçå See ʺResidential Meter Module Retrofitʺ on page 5‐1 and ʺCommercial and Industrial Meter Module Installationʺ on page 6‐1 for information about module exchange instructions. PJO 6 If the meter is to be exchanged and it is partially buried, enter a skip code of “buried”, and move to the next account. If a tilted meter is to be exchanged, perform the exchange and correct the tilt. If a module is to be installed on a tilted meter, complete the install, and enter a skip code of “titled”.
CHAPTER 4 GAS METER EXCHANGE METER EXCHANGE PROCESS Arriving at the Location 1 The installer confirms that he is at the right route address for that appointment using the Handheld. The installer arrives at the location on‐time and with all the tools and equipment necessary to complete the installation without having to return to his or her vehicle. If applicable, locate the outside shutoff valve in case of trouble or emergency.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=bñÅÜ~åÖÉ Confirming Proper Installation Conditions 1 For the installation to qualify, confirm all of the following pre‐existing conditions: – Visually examine the shut‐off for signs of leaking or disrepair. – Perform the sniff test for signs of gas leaks using the Natural Gas Detection Device, and then the soap test on the shut off and couplings. – No Diversion or Tampering Evident ‐ Visually inspect the service to the meter for signs of diversion or tampering.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=bñÅÜ~åÖÉ d Loosen both coupling nuts and remove the old meter from the meter set. If you have any problem loosening the coupling nuts contact your supervisor for direction. e Remove all old gasket material in the coupling nuts when applicable. Inspect the regulator and exchange if it is damaged or defective. Installing the New Meter 1 Remove the new meter tag from the new meter. 2 Write install date, address, and initials on new meter tag. 3 Place new meter tag on the old meter register.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=bñÅÜ~åÖÉ 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.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=bñÅÜ~åÖÉ If There Is Damage On Site When You Arrive IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas. This will eliminate or minimize any property damages to customer. • Call your Supervisor immediately. Communicate the gravity of the situation. He or she will immediately initiate any necessary actions. • Do not leave the customer site until directed to do so. • It may be necessary to dial 911.
