ORION ENDPOINT ON THE GAS METER
Use care when handling the ORION endpoint and Itron index to insure the drive pawls are not subjected to any physical
abuse. Abuse may cause a spindle to become bent, misaligned or otherwise inoperative.
1. When mounting an ORION endpoint on a gas meter, make sure the endpoint drive pawl engages the gas meter drive
pawl. These two drive pawls must mate without causing any binding or potential for disengagement. See Figure 14.
MPORTANTI
Placing endpoint on meter incorrectly may damage the output seal of the gas meter.

2. Test to ensure the pawls are engaged and moving. Hold the index and move the pawl. It should move only a little.
