MTU Instruction
for Nicor Composite Pit Lids
Mounting a New Flatpak STAR MTU to
a Nicor pit lid.
Step 1 – Place the pit lid top down on a
solid surface, positioning the metal latch
mechanism nearest to you as shown in
the photo below.
Step 2 – Note the mounting posts on the
bottom of the pit lid. Several posts are
provided for mounting a variety of
equipment. The posts used for mounting
a New Flatpak STAR MTU are
highlighted in the photo below.
Step 3 – Position the MTU face-down on
the bottom surface of the pit lid. Place
plastic spacers under the mounting lugs
on the MTU as shown below.
Step 4 - Place 2 stainless sheet metal
screws through the 2 mounting holes and
the spacers, and guide the screws into
the holes on the designated mounting
posts.
Step 5 – Torque screws to approximately
8 in-lbs. MTU should be snug and flush to
the surface of the pit lid.
Step 6 – Wire the MTU to the meter,
making sure that the wire is routed so that
it does not become pinched when the lid
is closed.
Step 7 - Installation is now complete. You
can now proceed to program the MTU
using the STAR Programmer Software
and your MTU Programmer.
