2 Pre-Installation Proper planning and thorough preparation are critical for successful installation. This chapter outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase. SAFETY OVERVIEW Prior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer safety training plan for initial, refresher, and ongoing safety training. Ensure that installers receive appropriate initial and refresher training to meet their specific safety-related responsibilities.

Landis+Gyr Chapter 2 - Preinstallation Install Material The Gas Meter Exchange process consists of using predetermined route information that identifies the meters that need to be retrofitted with the Landis+Gyr Gas Meter Module and methods for recording data to document the installation. The route information describing the account address, existing meter ID, estimated meter reads, and any special instructions that describe circumstances unique to that particular account is supplied at the Cross Dock.

Long and Short Post Module Cover internal differences The post length difference in the two models is only about a quarter-inch, but this critical installation parameter ensures accuracy and functionality. Note also the “1” and “2” cast into the cover next to the sensor board, with “2” designating pointer index usage and “1” being for the odometer index.
Chapter 2 - Preinstallation • Safe driving • Use of hand tools • Confined space Landis+Gyr Preliminary Checks The installer should already be able to operate the Handheld computer. Additionally, you should already have route information and the required number of endpoints. • Verify that you are at the correct site, specified on the handheld computer or work order. • Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment. • Notify the customer of your presence.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 2 - Preinstallation and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Consult L+G or an experienced radio technician for help. Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Cellnet Technology, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

3 On-Site Preparation Arrival at Install Site Upon arriving at the installation site, verify the address in the Handheld. Check the Handheld for special instructions for that site (for example, medical customer, dog, key required for access to meter, meter location, and so on). If a medical alert code appears in the Handheld for that address, they are to skip the install, enter an appropriate skip code, and move to the next exchange. A medical alert tag may be located on the electric meter.

4 Gas Meter Exchange Meter Exchange Process Arriving at the Location 1 The installer confirms that they are at the right route address for that appointment using the Handheld. The installer arrives at the location on‐time and with all the tools and equipment necessary to complete the installation without having to return to the support vehicle. If applicable, locate the outside shutoff valve in case of trouble or emergency.
Chapter 4- Gas Meter Exchange Landis+Gyr Confirming Proper Installation Conditions 1 2 For the installation to qualify, confirm ALL of the following pre‐existing conditions: – Visually examine the shut‐off that it does NOT show signs of leaking or disrepair. – Perform the sniff test for signs of gas leaks using the Natural Gas Detection Device, and then the soap test on the shut off and couplings.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 4 - Gas Meter Exchange Do not clean the module or the cover on-site. Static discharge can ignite a natural gas leak and is a risk of fire or explosion. Installing the New Meter 1 Remove the new meter tag from the new meter. 2 Write install date, address, and initials on new meter tag. 3 Place new meter tag on the old meter register. 4 Insert new gaskets where applicable. 5 Exchange the regulator if it is damaged or outdated. Exchange any damaged insulating unions.
Chapter 4- Gas Meter Exchange Landis+Gyr Programming the Module Refer to Chapter 3, Using the Handheld Device. Performing Data Collection 1 See Chapter 3, Using the Handheld Device. 2 Seal the new meter. Cleaning Up the Work Area Clean up all installation tools, equipment and debris. Turn off any lights that you may have turned on. Restore the customer premise to the pre-visit condition. Exiting the Premise 1 Do a final check to ensure that you have all of your equipment and tools.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 4 - Gas Meter Exchange Battery Change Out When the NOC analyst notices that the battery flag (R) is set, it could be due to: • a single end-point occurrence, where the end-point may require more current to operate.

5 Meter Module Retrofit This chapter outlines the procedure for Meter Module installation. Examples of two supported index types appear in the following illustration. Figure 5 - 1. Two Examples of Supported Index Types 24 D R Fe AF b T 20 10 To Begin Meter Module Retrofit Prior to beginning the meter module retrofit, make sure you have followed the steps on Page -15. 1 Remove the tamper seals and index cover from the original gas meter.
Chapter 5 - Meter Module Retrofit Figure 5 - 2. Meter Module kit before installation 2 Remove all of the original gasket material. Replace the index if it is damaged, if the gears are discolored, or if it is metal. Metal indexes cannot be used and must be replaced. Indexes must use ALL plastic gears and pointers and be housed in a plastic case. Validated Meter Index Part Numbers Table 5-1.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 5 - Meter Module Retrofit WHEN REPLACING AN INDEX, YOU MUST ENTER THE METER READ INTO THE HANDHELD AND NOTE “INDEX EXCHANGED” IN THE COMMENT SECTION. For Index visual verification and exchange, see Appendix A, Supplemental Information About Indexes. Figure 5 - 3. Removing the Index (one screw on each side) 3 Clean the area behind the index and cover gasket surface on the meter with a wire brush and a gasket scraper.

Dial Wheel with pointer slot positioned for pointer entrance 8 Slide the Dial Wheel toward the pointer until the Dial Wheel center contacts the pointer. The pointer center will gently impede the Dial Wheel. Do not force the Dial Wheel on the pointer center. Figure 5 - 9. Dial Wheel placed on pointer Take the Dial Wheel Pin and insert the pin into the Dial Wheel hole. Note the position of the three tabs of the Dial Wheel pin.
Chapter 5 - Meter Module Retrofit Figure 5 - 11. Installing the Dial Wheel Pin After both screws are tightened and the Meter Index is installed, position the Gridstream M120 module for installation. Install, but do not tighten to mounting torque, the first of the module mounting screws. Discard the foam spacer in the Gridstream M120 index cover compartment before mounting the index cover onto the meter.
