Figure 1. Gas module for Type A index Need new artwork Special conditions of use This is a fixed installation. The mounting screws are used to connect the module to the gas meter and provide grounding. Installing the index WARNING!

Installation and service of metering equipment should be performed by authorized and qualified utility personnel. Use authorized utility procedures to install and service metering equipment. Incorrect assembly could potentially cause a leak or escape of gas from the meter. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. CAUTION!

This device contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When installing, servicing, or removing this device, clean the external surfaces of the module with a clean wet or damp cloth. Avoid installing the module in dry & dusty environments. Failure to properly clean and install the module as instructed can result in equipment damage. 1. Remove the existing index cover and index (or module) from the meter (see Figure 2). Use an awl to remove the existing tamper seals (see Figure 3). Figure 2 Figure 3 2. Clean any debris from the index and cover. 3. Using a scraper or putty knife, remove the gasket and any adhesive material from the meter. 4. Align the index wriggler (4a) with the module wriggler(4b) (see Figure 4c). DRAFT Figure 4a Figure 4b Figure 4c 5. Attach the index to the module using the appropriate index screws (Figure 5). Do not over tighten the screws. Figure 5 DRAFT Figure 6 Exploded View (work in progress) Checking mechanical operation This procedure will make sure the attached index rotates freely and without resistance. 1. Rotate the index drive dial clockwise 3 times. 2. If the index drive dial turns easily, rotate the drive dial counterclockwise 3 times to remove the counts or sub-counts from the mechanical index. If it does not turn easily, unscrew the index/module assembly & repeat Step 4 in Installing the index. 3. Make sure that the gasket material on the index cover is free of rips or tears. If the gasket cover is ripped or torn, remove the damaged gasket and replace it with a new gasket. Sub-counts added to the electronic index during this procedure will be cleared when the index reading is programmed into the module. Mounting the module/index assembly Before mounting the assembly, be sure to have a screwdriver, index cover, and gasket within easy reach. Caution!

It is important that the wriggler on the module is correctly engaged onto the meter. If it is not, it could produce an erroneous indication during utility leak test procedures that monitor drive dial (proving dial) movement. Incorrectly engaged wrigglers can also cause meter damage. It is important that the following procedure is performed correctly. DRAFT 1. Visually align the module wriggler with the meter wriggler or meter adapter (drive dog). If the wriggler cannot be put in a fixed position, position it correctly by rotating the drive dial with your finger. 2. Mate the module wriggler (Figure 7a) with the meter wriggler or meter adapter (drive dog) (Figure 7b) and hold the mated assembly against the meter. 3. While holding the assembly against the meter, gently try to turn the drive wheel clockwise and then counterclockwise. If the drive wheel meets resistance in both directions, it is properly mated. Continue with Step 5. If it meets no resistance in either direction & can freely rotate 360 degrees, then make sure the meter is completely free of old gasket material then forcefully press the module on to the meter. Repeat Step 4. If the unit still doesnt correctly engage with the meter, return the unit to Honeywell Smart Energy. 4. While holding the module firmly in place so that you dont lose wriggler alignment, place the index cover & cover gasket onto the module/index assembly. Make sure the index cover is properly positioned with its vent holes at the bottom. See Figure 7c. Figure 7a Figure 7b Figure 7c 5. Using the appropriate mounting bolts, screw the module/index/cover assembly to the meter and tighten the bolts using a torque driver. Set the torque driver to 20 in-lbs ( 4 in-lbs tolerance) to secure the assembly to the meter. Install the tamper seals into the index cover receptacles. See Figure 8. 6. DRAFT Figure 8 Programming the module Although modules may contain default or utility-specified values that are programmed during manufacturing it is important to program certain data after the module has been installed in the field. Programming should be performed even if the index is set to 0000. Follow the instructions in the Connexo FieldSense Installer documentation. When prompted to hold a magnet on the unit, hold the magnet to the module as illustrated below.
