Meter Preparation
NOTE: The Solid State Pulser assembly gets readings from a pulse wheel mounted on the
horizontal shaft behind the index. The cover is installed on the meter with the sensor in the cover
positioned on the back side of the index.
Inspect the index and replace it if any of the following conditions exists:
Pointers are loose on their shafts.
Index face contains cracked or peeling enamel.
Index drive mechanism does not rotate easily.
Perform the following steps if the index must be replaced:
Figure 8 - 1. Index Screw and Drive Details
1. Turn index screws (shown by red circles) counter clockwise enough to loosen and gently slide
the old index screw tabs from beneath the screws using a right-to-left motion.
2. Slide the replacement index screw tabs beneath the screws using a left-to-right motion as shown
in the photo at right in Figure 8 - 1.
3. Verify that the index drive mechanisms of both the bracket and index (red arrows) are aligned
and free to rotate without binding.
4. Itron recommends tightening the screws “hand-tight” or 6 to 12 inch-pounds. The Itron
specification is listed as “3 to 6 inch-pounds (after relaxation)” in their published documents.
