4. Construction

The pulse transmitter consists of of the following parts:


 housing
 low frequency sensors set

Housing - made of plastic. It contains clinches that allow fastening the transmitter inside the
socket of the index. There is a set of sensors inside the housing.

Low frequency sensors set - consists of the housing with built-in contact reeds: counting
and control reeds. They are covered with a hermetic mass and connected by a 4-wired
cable.

5. Operating principles

By influence of magnets located inside the rotating index wheels the counting contact
reeds are being closed. In this way appear electrical pulses, which number is proportional to
the number of index wheel rotations. The control contact reed detects failure situation like:

 trials of blocking the counting circuit with a strong magnet


 breaking cable connection between a gas meter and counting device

(in standard mode: open)

K – control contact reed


(in standard mode: closed)

6. Installation (retrofitting) of pulse transmitter

The pulse transmitter NI-3 can be used with all METRIX gas meters manufactured from
2005. It can be retrofitted at any time after installation of a gas meter without damaging the
calibration seal.
The installation of pulse transmitter should be done by an authorised staff.

6.1 Mounting the pulse transmitter in a gas meter

In order to mount the pulse transmitter NI-3 in a gas meter installed into a gas net, you
should do the following:

1. Remove the plug of the index socket

 Brake the plug cover in the


place of the inscription „metrix”

 Insert one side of the pincers


into the hole in the plug cover

 By rotating the pincers remove


the plug cover

 Hold tightly the internal part of
the plug like it is shown on the
picture and rotate the pincers re-
moving the plug from the socket
at a time. Remove the rest parts
of the plug, if any.

2. Mount the pulse transmitter into the index

 Insert the transmitter into the in-


dex socket until the clinches
reach their final position (you
shall hear a "click")

sealing:
 insert a hollow rivet into the
sealing hole of the transmitter
NI-3
 Insert the seal into the hole of
the hollow rivet and close the
seal

6.2 Replacing a damaged pulse transmitter NI-3

In case of damage or operating failure of a pulse transmitter, it should be replaced in the fol-
lowing manner:

1. Remove the damaged transmitter

 Drill and remove the transmitter seal


 Break the left and right part of the
transmitter with a pincer

 In the gaps on sides of the transmitter


insert carefully two flat screwdrivers
0,8x4
 Remove the transmitter from the sock-
et by pulling the cable

2. Mount a new pulse transmitter like described above
