Installation Instructions

MTU Instruction
for American Model AL800-AL5000 Gas Meters
Step 7 – Pull most of the slack out of the
cable (leave a slight amount of slack) and
reattach cable clamp as shown below.
DO NOT pull the cable taut.
Step 8 – Tighten the nut on the sealtight
strain relief. You will need to tighten the
nut almost fully down (as shown) before it
will bite on the MTU cable.
Step 9 – Check that all wired terminal
block screws are tight.
Step 10 – Depending on the installation
location, you may be able to mount the
MTU at this time. During installation, the
IPT body should be supported so as not
to hang (apply tension) on the MTU
cable. During the installation, do not allow
the heavier body of the IPT to suddenly
jerk the MTU cable as this could
potentially damage the cable internally.
Step 11 – Install the MTU into its
intended location per the recommended
procedure found in the standard
Hexagram MTU installation manual.
Installing the Pulsimatic
Transmitter
Step 1 – If necessary, remove tamper
seals from any of the 4 screws that
secure the index plate. Loosen and
remove the screws securing the index
plate assembly. You may discard these
screws as they will not be re-used.
Remove the index plate assembly from
the top of the meter. Do not disassemble
the index cover from the index plate.
Step 2 – If the index plate mounting
screws were difficult to remove, the
threads in the meter head (handhole
plate) may need to be cleaned out before
installing the hardware that will retain the
IPT and index plate stack. Use the blind-
hole tap to carefully clean out/ clean up
the threads of the (2) cover holes. NOTE
THAT THESE THREADS ARE #18-18.
MAKE SURE TO USE THE PROPER
TAP. Blow out the holes with compressed
(canned) air.
