CHAPTER 1 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Itron 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoints are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the endpoint. 100G Datalogging Gas Remote Disconnect endpoints have the same increased output power as the first generation 100G Gas endpoints for greater RF transmission distance.

Installation Prerequisites Installation Prerequisites Prior to installation, verify you have the following items: • 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints designed for your specific brand of residential or commercial gas meters (endpoints include new tamper seals). • A METRIS 250 meter (see the Meter Compatibility List on page 8). • A compatible index. Itron 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoints are compatible with standard dial and direct-read (odometer) indexes.
Chapter 1 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Installation Overview Installing the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint on a meter involves four tasks: 1. Removing the index from the meter. 2. Assembling the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint and index. 3. Programming the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint assembly. 4. Attaching the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint to the meter.
CHAPTER 2 Itron METRIS 250 Meter Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint on an Itron METRIS 250 meter. To remove the index from the meter 1. Remove the tamper seals, index cover screws and the index cover from the Itron meter. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8" long and not corroded, keep them to re-attach the endpoint assembly. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard.
Chapter 2 Itron METRIS 250 Meter Installation 2. Loosen the index mounting screws 1/2 to one turn. Slide the index to the left and off the mounting screws and remove from the meter. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow. The index is mounted in the endpoint later in this procedure. Verify the index mounting screws are 1/4" long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, retain for later use.
Installation Prerequisites 2. Screw the 10 - 24 x 1/4" screws into the index mounting posts two turns. Do not tighten the screws. 3. Align the index wriggler (1) with the endpoint drive post (2). Carefully slide the index onto the mounting screws. Verify the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint's housing drive post makes positive engagement with the index wriggler. Hold the index in place and tighten the index mounting screws. Caution Indexes have varying drive mechanism styles.
Chapter 2 Itron METRIS 250 Meter Installation Programming the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Assembly The 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint must be programmed with the FC200SR handheld computer loaded with Endpoint-Link® or Endpoint-Link Pro® software version 5.3 or higher. See the Endpoint-Link v5.3 (or later) Endpoint Programming Guide (TDC-0744) for more complete programming information.
Programming the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Assembly To program the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint 1. Program the index drive rate into the endpoint using the FC200SR. For all programming and "Check Endpoint" operations, hold the FC200SR as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the FC200SR within 6 feet of the target endpoint.
Chapter 2 Itron METRIS 250 Meter Installation Attaching the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Meter After programming the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas endpoint, attach it to the Itron METRIS meter. To attach the 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint to the meter 1. Align the endpoint communications plug with the meter receptacle. Insert the endpoint communications plug into the meter receptacle and push gently until the plug snaps into place.
Attaching the 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint Assembly to the Meter 2. Align the endpoint wriggler (1) so one of its four drive slots lines up with the meter's drive dog (2). Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post (2) and endpoint wriggler drive slots (1) can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter failure. You must properly align the meter drive dog with the endpoint wriggler drive fin. 3. Carefully place the endpoint on the meter. 4.
Chapter 2 Itron METRIS 250 Meter Installation 1. Place a new tamper seal over the two screws in the tamper seal cups. Press the new tamper seals into place using an 11/32-inch nut driver or similar blunt tool. 2. Complete any necessary paperwork and properly dispose excess installation materials and scrap from the customer premises. 100G Datalogging Gas Remote Disconnect endpoint installation on the Itron METRIS 250 Meter is complete.
