Overview
This notification provides instruction on the proper way to reset a mechanical register when not mounted to a meter and resetting the tip pointer to zero position.
Impacted Equipment: All Mechanical Registers
Reset:
- It is not common to need to reset a mechanical register when it is not installed on a meter.
- During shipment, the bevel gear may rotate due to vibration. When this occurs, the arrow may not be on zero.
- If you need to reset a non-installed register, you need to prevent the bevel gear (red box) from rotation during the reset.
- Hold the pinion gear with a cloth using your hand to prevent movement.
Zero Pointer Adjustment:
- For best results, the register should be mounted to a gear plate to prevent any movement during the reset.
- Reset the register several times to determine the average position of the zero-graduation relative to the tip of the pointer.
- Adjust the tip of the pointer referenced to the average zero position.
- Acceptable offset would be +/- 3/32” on the right wheel.
- +/1 1 graduation on the right wheel with 100 graduations.
