2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to re-
attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint assembly. If the screws are not the correct
length or if the screws are corroded, discard.
Note You may use the removed index cover as a temporary storage container for
screws. Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper
seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises.
3. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely. Hold one hand under the index to
catch the screw. While removing the other mounting screw, pull the index away from
the meter to keep the index backplate against the back of the screw. Remove the screw
completely after the index is free of the meter.
Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow. The
index will be mounted to the endpoint later in this procedure. Verify the index
mounting screws are 3/16" long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length
and not corroded, retain for later use. If the original screws were discarded, use the
correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 8.)
4. Remove the old gasket, gasket residue and dirt from the meter (if applicable). The
meter face must be free of gasket residue before you install the 100G Datalogging Gas
Endpoint.
