ABSTRACT:
A bracket for use in a meter head of a rotary gas meter supports and secures a plurality of meter components, which have traditionally been mounted in separate housings. The bracket has a first pair of opposing slots for receiving a processor printed circuit board (PCB) and a second pair of slots for receiving a liquid crystal display PCB. The PCBs are held in place with a pair of screws extending through the bracket and through the PCBs. The bracket defines a walled enclosure within which a battery pack may be received. The rear portion of the bracket has legs for mounting the bracket to a metal plate located at a rear portion of the rotary gas meter. The legs also space the walled enclosure and the processor PCB from the metal plate so that some mechanical gearing may be received between the bracket and the metal plate. The processor PCB receives inputs from a reed switch, pressure transducer, and temperature sensor, all of which are located within the rotary head. The processor PCB determines the amount of volume from the reed switch, corrects the volume based upon the pressure and temperature, and then outputs the current reading to the LCD PCB. The bracket permits the mounting of the LCD PCB, a source of electrical power, and a correcting instrument, namely the processor PCB, all within the rotary head.
