Itron Inc. 500GR Manuel D’Utilisation

18. Align the index wriggler with the meter's drive

dog. Install the index on the meter using the

index mounting screws. Tighten one index screw

two turns. Install and tighten the remaining index

screw. Tighten the first index mounting screw

completely (alternating fashion).

19. Install a strain-relief cable tie about 1-1/4-inch from the encoder cable's stripped end. The cable

tie must be inside the index cover after the cover is installed on the meter. Remove any excess

cable tie with a side-cutting pliers and dispose the excess cable tie.

20. Remove the protective backing on the

replacement gasket to expose the adhesive side

of the gasket. Align the gasket (1), encoder cable

(2), and cable tie (for strain-relief) (3) on the

meter as shown.

Caution: Route the encoder cable inside the index cover to provide strain relief
(minimize pulling or twisting on the encoder). Verify that the strain-relief cable tie on the
encoder cable is inside the index cover when the cover is installed on the meter. The
gasket must align with the index cover screw holes and adhere to the meter face to
insure a proper seal after the index cover is installed.

21. Install the four index cover screws and

tighten just enough to hold the screws in place.
