To program the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint using the endpoint programming
device. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to
vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target endpoint.
Verify you have the correct programming mode (Fixed Network Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard
to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application. Programming parameters are based on the
configuration file loaded into the endpoint programming device.
During programming, the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint is set to the nearest 100 cubic feet; the last two
digits (tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). After programming is complete, the endpoint
assembly will read to the nearest cubic foot.
2. Slowly turn the endpoint's drive wriggler two turns in the direction shown on the index drive rate. This
verifies the endpoint is counting properly after assembly.
Caution Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second.
3. Read or Check the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint using the endpoint programming device.
If the read result is higher than the number programmed in Step 1, the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint
is counting correctly.
If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in Step 1, replace the 100G Datalogging
gas endpoint.
Attaching the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint Assembly to the
Meter
After programming the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint, attach the endpoint assembly to the Elster American
Meter.
Warning For 5B Meters only: If the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint will be installed
on a 5B-225 aluminum meter, cut 1/16" off each endpoint wriggler post to prevent
the wriggler from rubbing on the face of the nut holding the meter drive dog in place.
