Installing the 2.4 GHz OpenWay Gas Module on a Sensus Mete

2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide 27

To Program the OpenWay Gas Module

1. Using the FC200SR, program the reading of the index that was on the meter into the

OpenWay Gas Module assembly.

• For initial programming, hold the FC200SR approximately 1 foot away from

the 2.4 GHz OpenWay Gas Module.

• For reprogramming (30 days or more past initial programming), hold the

FC200SR approximately 4 to 5 feet away from the OpenWay Gas Module.

Be sure to program the OpenWay Gas Module to the correct mode for the reading

technology what will be used (for example, Fixed Network Mode, Mobile/Handheld

Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode). In Endpoint-Link Pro v5.0, you will

have access to the one mode that was defined by your system administrator.

During programming, the OpenWay Gas Module is programmed to the nearest 100

cubic feet; the last two digits (the tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). Once

programming is complete, however, the module assembly can be read to the nearest

cubic foot.

2. Slowly turn the OpenWay Gas Module drive wriggler two turns in the direction

indicated on the index drive rate. This lets you verify the module is counting properly

after assembly.

IMPORTANT Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second.

3. Read the OpenWay Gas Module assembly using the FC200SR. Consult the EndPoint-

Link ERT Programming Guide (TDC-0411) or other applicable instructions for details

on how to read an OpenWay Gas Module.

• If this reading is higher than the one you programmed in step 1 above, the ERT

module assembly is counting correctly.

• If the OpenWay Gas Module assembly reading is not higher than what was

programmed in step 1, replace the module with a new one.

Attach the OpenWay Gas Module to the Meter

After the OpenWay Gas Module has been programmed and is reading correctly, follow the

steps below to attach the module to the meter.
