Installation Procedure
Installing the Sensor Assembly
Before installing the Sensor Assembly,
anti-tamper, safety, and security
hardware must be removed from the clear
register cover.
Step 1 - Remove the existing clear
register cover by removing the four
screws. Set the clear register cover aside.
Discard the screws.
Step 2 - Remove the register by
removing the two screws. Set the register
aside. Discard the screws.
Step 3 - If the meter has a stamped metal
right angle drive foot (not a round plastic
pin), verify that the nylon spacer washers
are in place, as shown here.
Step 4 - If the meter has a stamped metal
right angle drive foot, orient the drive foot
of the index to the position of the magnet
coupler of the sensor as shown. The
index foot should be over the open or flat
area of the coupler. It should not engage
the elongated slot/hole in the magnet
coupler. When properly installed, the
magnet coupler will simply push on the
outside of the index foot to rotate it.
