for Nicor Composite Pit Lids

NOTE: The Nicor Type A, Type C and

and latching mechanism. STAR MTUs
can be mounted to either a Type A, Type
C or a Type X lid using this procedure.
Mounting an Original 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
an Original 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 2
stainless sheet metal screws through the
2 recessed mounting holes as shown,
and guide the screws into the holes on
the designated mounting posts.
Step 4 - Torque screws to approximately
8 in-lbs. MTU should be snug and flush to
the surface of the pit lid.
Step 5 – 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 6 - Installation is now complete. You
can now proceed to program the MTU
using the STAR Programmer Software
and your MTU Programmer.
CAUTION!
Be sure to follow all General
Guidelines outlined in
Publication 471-2000 along
with the specific wiring
instructions for the meter
being used.
