Meteorological proving allows users to test the Intelis Gas Meter accuracy. Temper meters unpackaged in the proving area for 24 hours prior to the testing. Warning! Follow your company's standard operating procedures regarding the use of personal protection equipment (PPE). Adhere to guidelines issued by your company in addition to those contained in this document when proving meters. The Intelis Gas Meter Test Mode and a prover station are used to confirm the accuracy of the meter. Proving the Intelis Gas Meter requires attaching the pulse output prover cable between the meter and the proving station. After the test is complete, the proving cable is removed and the meter returns to normal operation. Note: The Intelis Gas ultrasonic meter is highly accurate and sensitive to air flow. The meter displays registration to 0.001 CCF. The meter sensitivity makes it possible to see the index incrementing even with the hub caps in place. For documentation information, see Related Documents on page 11. Prover Station Test Mode The prover station captures and counts pulses from a pulse output proving cable. Each pulse reflects a specific volume (pulse weight) of gas measured by the meter. Pulse width is a length of time for the pulse. Both pulse width and pulse weight are configurable parameters using FDM. The Intelis Gas Meter pulse weight must match the prover setup as described in this section's proving instructions. The Intelis Gas Meter cannot be programmed (configured) or calibrated while the meter is in Test Mode. You must exit Test Mode to program or configure the meter. Attempting to program or configure parameters while the meter is in Test Mode will result in a temporary error. If the valve icon is blinking, the meter is unable to go into Test Mode. Wait a few minutes and try again. Note: If the valve icon is blinking, the meter is unable to go into Test Mode. Wait a few minutes and try again. 08 July 2020 815-0154-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.

Page 16 of 66 Intelis Gas Meter Proving and Setup Guide 3 Proving Note: Refer to the instructions for your prover type in the following sections for the recommended Test Mode pulse width and pulse weight parameters. Entering Test Mode Entering Test Mode is accomplished using either the FDM mobile client or through the magnet in the prover connection end of the prover cable. After the Intelis enters Test Mode, the following steps occur. 1. The Intelis Gas Meter logs an Entering Test Mode event. 2. The Intelis Gas Meter enters Test Mode. 3. The Intelis Gas Meter Test Mode index is reset to a zero reading. 4. The Intelis Gas Meter starts an optical pulse output. Caution: There are some parameters that could result in the Intelis Gas Meter constantly pulsing (such as a small pulse weight and a long pulse width with a high flow rate.) Adjust the pulse width, the pulse weight, or flow rate as needed. 5. The Intelis Gas Meter LCD moves to Test Display Mode. Recording Test Mode Consumption While the Intelis Gas Meter is in Test Mode, the following occurs:
Exiting Test Mode 1. The Intelis Gas Meter records the Test Mode consumption in the Test Mode index register. 2. The Intelis Gas Meter continues to output an optical pulse. Note: While the Intelis Gas Meter is in Test Mode, the LCD refresh rate is more frequent than when the meter is operating in Normal Mode. 3. The Intelis Gas Meter continues to update the normal volume registers. The Intelis Gas Meter exits Test Mode after it receives a command from the FDM mobile client, after the proving cable is removed from the meter, or when the Test Mode timeout is reached. The following operations occur when the Intelis Gas Meter exits Test Mode:
1. The Intelis Gas Meter logs an Exiting Test Mode event. 2. The Intelis Gas Meter ends the optical pulse output. 3. The Intelis Gas Meter LCD returns to normal display mode. Note: Check the LCD display to verify the Intelis Gas Meter is no longer displaying Menu. 08 July 2020 815-0154-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.

Note: Proving the Intelis Gas Meter requires Honeywell SNAP prover software .NET X.Y. Temper meters unpackaged in the proving area for 24 hours prior to testing. If tempering is not possible,follow the instructions described in Tempering the Meter by Exercising on page 20. If the meters are tempered, continue to Setting Up the Prover on page 21. Warning! Follow your companys standard operating procedures regarding the use of personal protection equipment (PPE). Adhere to guidelines issued by your company in addition to those contained in this document when proving meters. Adjust the proving table to accommodate the height of the Intelis Gas Meter. If necessary, use the Intelis Gas Meter prover stand (Itron part number FIX-7100-001). Place the prover stand on the prover table and set the meter on the stand. See the image below for reference. Note: To hold the meter properly in place, the meter should be placed in the fixture such that the meter flange is below the fixture's edge. 08 July 2020 815-0154-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.

Note: Proving the Intelis Gas Meter requires Measurement Systems prover software. See the Measurement Systems prover documentation for version requirements. Temper meters unpackaged and uncapped in the proving area for 24 hours prior to testing. If tempering is not possible, follow the instructions described in Temper the Meter by Exercising the Meter on page 33.

Follow your company's standard operating procedures regarding the use of personal protection equipment (PPE). Adhere to guidelines issued by your company in addition to those contained in this document when proving meters. Adjust the proving table to accommodate the height of the Intelis Gas Meter. If necessary, use the Intelis Gas Meter prover stand (Itron part number FIX-7100-001). Place the prover stand on the prover table and set the meter on the stand. See the image below for reference.

The Intelis Gas Meter Test Mode and a prover station are used to confirm the accuracy of the meter and FDM is used to recalibrate the meter if necessary. The Intelis Gas Meter cannot be programmed (configured) or calibrated while the meter is in Test Mode. You must exit Test Mode to program or configure the meter. Attempting to program or configure parameters while the meter is in Test Mode will result in a temporary error in FDM. If the valve icon is blinking, the meter is unable to go into Test Mode. Wait a few minutes and try again. Some meter configuration is required for the meter to communicate with the prover type. Configuration is completed using the FDM configuration (snapshot)file or using the handheld programmer and FDM Tools. Intelis Gas Meters are calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. Recalibrating the Intelis Gas Meter requires FDM and the results of the accuracy test. For proving instructions, refer to earlier chapters in this guide. For more information about calibrating the Intelis Gas Meter using FDM, see the FDM Mobile Application Guide. For more documentation information, see Related Documents on page 11. Adjusting the Calibration Follow the steps below to send new calibration values to the meter. 1. Run the meter on a prover. 2. Exit Test Mode. 3. Enter the prover station results values into FDM. Note: The Intelis Gas Meter must be unsealed to adjust the meter calibration. 4. Wait for the meter to complete calibration. 5. Enter Test Mode. 7. Exit Test Mode. 6. Re-prove the meter to verify the calibration. 08 July 2020 815-0154-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc. Page 59 of 66 Intelis Gas Meter Proving and Setup Guide 7 Calibrating the Intelis Gas Meter To Adjust the Calibration of an Intelis Gas Meter Before you perform the Adjust Calibration command, you are required to run the meter on a prover station. This determines the meter's accuracy, and the results are used during the Adjust Calibration workflow. Note: The meter must be out of test mode to perform the Adjust Calibration command. If the meter is in test mode, perform the Exit Test Mode command before you start this procedure. Part of this Adjust Calibration workflow includes unsealing the meter. After you complete this workflow, you must use the separate Seal Meter command to re-seal the meter. If the meter is operating in mobile mode, you must know the meter's Unlock ID to complete the Adjust Calibration command. 1. From the Tools menu, select Intelis Gas Meter. 2.
