To attach the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint to the meter
1. Align the endpoint wriggler to connect with the drive post (or slot) of the meter.
For one-foot meters: Align the endpoint assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive post.
For two-foot meters: Align the endpoint assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive slot. The
pin on the endpoint wriggler may be installed inside or outside the meter drive slot. For easy assembly,
Itron recommends installing the pin on the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint wriggler outside the meter
drive slot.
2. Carefully align the endpoint's four screw holes with the holes on the meter. Attach using the original
mounting screws if they are the correct size and are not corroded (1/4 - 20 x 5/8" screws.) If the original
screws were discarded, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 7).
Tighten in an alternating, diagonal pattern as shown in the photo:
Insert first screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after the screw contacts the meter connection.
Insert the second screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Insert the third screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Insert the last screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Return to the first screw and tighten. Continue with the second, third and last screws until all screws are
tight. Use equal screw tension to tighten each screw.
Note Meter manufacturers: torque the mounting screws 15 to 20 inch-pounds.
