Installation Guide

8. Press the magnet hub down over the hub spacer
as far as possible. The bottom of the hub spacer
may touch the index face. Turn the dial after magnet
hub installation to verify that the index dial functions
with a smooth, easy rotation.
9. If the dial needle tip sticks out past the edge of the
magnet hub, cut off the end of the dial needle as
close as possible to the magnet hub with sharp,
side-cutting pliers.
10. Remove the acetone stick applicator from the remote encoder installation kit (Itron part number
CFG-0081-001). Select a location on the index face next to the magnet hub for the encoder installation.
After installation, the encoder cable must not interfere with the index dials.
Note: If a TEMP COMP sticker is attached to the index where the encoder cable will mount, remove it
before cleaning with the acetone stick. If the sticker (or replacement sticker) must be put back on the
register face, place it in a new location on the index face after the encoder is attached.
11. Tilt the acetone stick vertically with the applicator foam end down. Squeeze the acetone stick on
the black dot until the packet inside the pen breaks. Continue to hold the pen in a vertical position until
the acetone wicks into the foam applicator end. Apply a thorough coat of acetone to the index where
the encoder will be installed. Do not touch the area where the acetone was applied before the encoder
is installed.
12. Slide the thin end of the encoder spacing tool down over the magnet hub.
