Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Mounting the Remote Gas Module on a Wall or Other Flat Vertical Surface 1. Using one of the three 1-1/2-inch mounting screws from the Remote Mount Installation Kit, turn the mounting screw for the mounting lug (top of module) part way into the mounting surface. 2. Place the 100G series remote gas module mounting lug recess (on the top of the module backplate) just under the screw head. 3. Slide the module upward until the screw head fits completely inside the mounting lug recess. Several adjustments may be necessary to properly position the screw for module mounting. 4. Install the bottom two mounting screws. Fasten the screws in an alternating pattern until fully tightened to secure the module firmly in position. Note For easier installation, drill three pilot holes in the mounting surface (use the correct size drill bit to accommodate the module mounting screws [see the drilling template below]). The drilled pilot holes for the two bottom screws must be on a horizontal line. To mount the module on a sheet metal surface, use the mounting screws included with the Remote Mounting kit. Use a comparable wood screw to mount the module on a vertical wood surface. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 15 Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Carefully select a mounting location free from electrical wires. The mounting location must have the proper clearance to accommodate the 1-1/2-inch module mounting screws so nothing is damaged by the drill or mounting screws. Remote module drilling template A 3 inches B 1-11/16 inches C 3-3/8 inches To install tamper seals and cable ties 1. Place a new tamper seal (from the Remote Mount Installation Kit) over each ERT module mounting screw. 2. Firmly push both tamper seals into place with a 1/4-inch nut driver or similar blunt tool.

CFG-0005-003 Remote ERT Module Mounting Kit Connecting the 100G Remote Gas ERT Module to the GE Dresser Rotary Meter Cable You may ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from GE Dresser, complete the following cable installation procedure. Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible to the meter receptacle. GE Dresser cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If necessary, contact GE Dresser for wiring diagrams for your specific application. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 19 Rotary Meter Installation To connect the remote module to the rotary meter cable 1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the remote module and expose the module lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the remote module later in this procedure so store them
(temporarily) in a safe, secure place. 2. Insert the lead wires from the remote module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-
Remote ERT module wire Red White Blue 001) together with the same colored lead wire from the meter cable (see the wiring table below) and crimp using a 3M hand-held crimping tool. Rotary Meter to Remote ERT Module Wire Table Rotary meter wire Red White Blue Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow (3). If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire in the gel connector. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 20 Rotary Meter Installation 3. After completing the wiring connections, install a cable tie to the meter cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the cable insulation. Remove the excess cable tie using a hand-held sidecutter pliers. The cable tie performs as a cable strain relief to mitigate the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires. 4. Tuck the three gel connectors and cable tie inside the module housing, as shown in the following placement schematic illustration. 5. Install the remote 100G DLS module backplate using the four screws previously removed from the module and a Torx T-15 screwdriver.

TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 37 Electronic Instrument Installation Wiring Dual ERT Modules to a Honeywell Mercury Instrument This section includes the information to wire dual ERT modules to a single Honeywell Instrument. Installation requires the correct programming parameters (see Code Settings on page 35). With Itron 100G series remote gas modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected consumption values by installing two ERT modules. The ERT module for corrected reads is attached to the corrector's pulse output. The ERT module for uncorrected reads is attached to the input switch board. The corrected pulse output is programmable; the uncorrected pulse output is dependent on the connected meter's drive rate. Important Some Honeywell Instruments have two pulse outputs so the uncorrected pulse output could be connected to the additional output, but the connection should be to the input switch board in case the corrector battery fails. Counts will be collected if the uncorrected pulse is connected to the switch board since the board is not dependent on battery power.

Wiring the Remote ERT Module to the Honeywell Mercury TCI The Honeywell Mercury Instruments Temperature Compensating Index (TCI) provides two Form-A volume pulse outputs and one Form-B alarm output. These outputs are electronic switches. The Form-A pulse outputs are configurable for compensated or uncompensated volume. The Form-B output is for alarm output use only. Connections to the three output pulse channels are completed using the lead wires (the individual wires from a cable) and gel-connectors. The TCI unit has six lead wires and six gel-connectors (Itron part number CON-
0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Lead wires are located inside the gray adapter plate behind the black strain relief fitting.

Remove strain relief fitting by unscrewing from the gray adapter plate. Note Do not remove the fitting's hex nut. Unscrew the entire fitting from the gray adapter plate. A tether line is secured to the strain relief fitting. When the strain relief fitting is removed, the tether line pulls the lead wires out of the adapter plate for access to the lead wires. 2. Loosen the strain relief fitting hex nut and remove the white plug from the center. 3. Place the strain relief fitting onto the field pulse cable. 4. If the field pulse cable is smaller than a 0.2-inch diameter, install the rubber tube supplied with the TCI onto the cable so the strain relief will clamp onto the tube after it is reinstalled. 5. Connect the individual external pulse cable conductors to the lead wires following Configuration for two ERT modules connected to one TCI. Insert one lead wire into an opening of a gel-connector (six gel-
connectors were included with the TCI). Insert the appropriate field cable wire into the other gel-
connector opening.

Verify both wires are fully inserted into the gel-connector prior to crimping. Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow. If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. 7. Insert the gel-connected wires into the threaded gray adapter plate hole. 8. Replace the strain relief and tighten until secure. Connecting the Remote Module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable You can ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from GE Dresser, complete the following cable installation procedure. Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible with the IMC/W2 or MC2 receptacle. GE Dresser cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If necessary, contact GE Dresser for wiring diagrams for your specific application. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 42 Electronic Instrument Installation To connect the remote module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 cable 1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the remote module and expose the module lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the module later in this procedure so store them (temporarily) in a safe, secure place. 2. Insert the lead wires from the remote module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-
001) together with the same colored lead wire from the meter cable (see the wiring table below) and crimp using a 3M hand-held crimping tool. Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow. If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire in the gel connector.

Document Purpose This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 100G Series remote gas ERT module on a wide variety of meters and instruments. This installation guide refers to all models of the 100G remote ERT module as the 100G series remote gas module. Mechanical and electrical installation procedures are identical. For more information about ERT to meter compatibility, see the 100G Series Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 4. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential vii Before You Begin TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential viii C H A P T E R 1 About the 100G Series Gas ERT Module Itron 100G series remote ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the remote ERT module. The 100G remote gas ERT module was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron remote gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series remote gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first generation 100G remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging remote gas ERT module was enhanced to offer higher transmit power with data logging capability (time-stamped hourly interval data) for both mobile and fixed network applications. Itron's 100G Datalogging Fixed Network (DLN) remote gas ERT module added improved network performance through a higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. The 100G DLS remote gas modules brings increased efficiency in SCM+ messaging and adds enhanced network security. SCM+ messages expand the data fields within our standard consumption message to offer added value. The enhancement of secure communications provides greater protection for bubble-up and two-way messaging to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to the system. The 100G DLT Datalogging gas ERT module (100G DLT) is a hybrid in the Itron line of 100 Series radio frequency (RF) gas meter modules. The 100G DLT combines the circuit board hardware of the 100G DLS module with the SCM messaging used in the 100G DLN module. This allows utilities currently using the SCM messaging in the 100G DLN can upgrade to the 100G DLT without the upgrades required for programming, enhanced security, or meter reading. The 100G DLT does not offer the optional ISM enhanced security capability or extended tamper information available in the 100G DLS. The 100G remote module features tilt and cut cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the meter, instrument, or ERT module. 100G ERT module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event. Transmission Modes The 100G series remote gas module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile and handheld, hard to read mobile and handheld, or cellular solutions mode (fixed network applications only). Fixed Network Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G series remote gas module transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected battery life is 20 years. Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm; expected battery life is 20 years. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 1 About the 100G Series Gas ERT Module
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm;
expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements). Itron Cellular Solutions (ICS) Mode. The 100G DLS module is compatible with the Itron Cellular Solution and can be programmed for optimum operation with FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced. In ICS mode, the 100G DLS transmits a high-powered RF network interval message (NIM) every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected battery life is 20 years. Note ICS mode is for fixed network application only. ICS is optimized to work with the ICS communications module in Itrons electric meter. The 100G DLS must be in a full security mode to work with ICS. This is not part of the ICS mode, but is a system level requirement. An FCC license is not required to read 100G series remote gas module. 100G DLS ERT Module and Itron Security Manager The 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the 100G DLS module only. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure system communication confidentiality and validity. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100G DLT remote gas ERT module is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100G DLT remote gas ERT module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100G DLT remote gas ERT module modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect enhanced security enabled (ready to secure), the utility canat a later dateconfigure the ERT modules for ISM enhanced security. Note Enabling or working with Itron ISM enhanced security requires FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced. Enabling 100G DLS ERT Module Security When 100G DLS ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains utility factory keys. The presence of these utility factory keys does not enable the enhanced security; the installer enables the enhanced 100G DLS security at the time the ERT module is deployed or at a later time using an Itron programming device, Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced, and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory keys. For more information about programming the 100G DLS ERT module for security, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934).

TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 8 C H A P T E R 2 Mounting the 100G Series Gas ERT Module This chapter provides the instructions to mount the 100G series remote gas module on a pipe or other flat vertical surface (wall). Installation Options Mount the remote ERT module using the pipe mount or wall mount (flat vertical surface) procedure. Pipe Mount. Pipe mounting is used in conjunction with the Pipe Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-
0005-003). The pipe mount option places the module on a pipe near the meter or instrument (not on a wall surface). This option requires a meter manufacturer's cable to connect the module to the meter or instrument. Flat Vertical (Wall) Mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the module on a wall or other vertical surface. A cable connects the module to the meter or instrument.

Itron recommends mounting the 100G series remote gas module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length. The 100G series remote gas module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet with a recommended one-splice limitation. Mount the 100G series remote gas module in a vertical position with the ERT label directional arrow pointed upward. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. Warning ERT modules contain sensitive electronic components which can be damaged if the module is dropped from heights greater than 36 inches. Product warranty coverage is contingent on not exceeding this drop height limitation. Do not mount the 100G series remote gas module in an orientation other than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements may void the product warranty Mounting the Remote ERT Module on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the 100G series remote gas module on a pipe or vertical flat surface (wall):

Itron Part Number ERG-500X-503 ERG-500X-503 Note this remote ERT module comes standard with 12-inch lead wires and may be shipped directly to the meter manufacturer for a factory-installed cable (interface). The interface cable must be purchased directly from the meter manufacturer. Important You must purchase the interface cable directly from the meter manufacturer. CFG-0005-003 Pipe Installation Kit Connecting the 100G Series Gas ERT Module to the GE Dresser Rotary Meter Cable You may ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from GE Dresser, complete the following cable installation procedure. Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible to the meter receptacle. GE Dresser cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If necessary, contact GE Dresser for wiring diagrams for your specific application. To connect the module to the rotary meter cable 1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the module and expose the module lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the ERT module later in this procedure so store them (temporarily) in a safe, secure place. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 19 Rotary Meter Installation 2. Insert the lead wires from the module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) together with the same colored lead wire from the meter cable (see the wiring table below) and crimp using a 3M hand-held crimping tool. Rotary Meter to Remote ERT Module Wire Table Rotary meter wire Red White Blue Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel connectors. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel connector is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow (3). If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection.

Document Purpose This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 100G series remote gas ERT module on a wide variety of meters and instruments. Mechanical and electrical installation procedures are identical for all module types. For more information about ERT to meter compatibility, see the 100G Series Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 3 or the Itron Gas Module Meter Compatibility List
(PUB-0117-002) for 100G remote module compatible meters and instruments. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential vii C H A P T E R 1 About the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Itron 100G series remote ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the remote ERT module. The 100G remote gas ERT module was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron remote gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series remote gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first 100G remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power with data logging capability (time-stamped hourly interval data) for both mobile and fixed network applications. Itron's 100G Datalogging Fixed Network
(DLN) remote gas ERT module added improved network performance through even higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. The 100G DLS remote gas module adds SCM+ messaging and enhanced network security for increased data networking protection against intrusion. The 100G remote module features tilt-tamper and cut cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the meter, instrument, or ERT module. The remote 100G module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event. Transmission Modes The 100G series remote gas module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. Fixed Network Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the remote 100G module transmits a medium power RF message at every 60 seconds 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm; expected battery life is 20 years. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm;
expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements). An FCC license is not required to read 100G series remote gas module. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 1 About the 100G Series Remote Gas Module 100G DLS ERT Module and Itron Security Manager The remote 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the 100G DLS module only. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the remote 100G DLS module is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the remote 100G DLS module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the remote 100G DLS module modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect enhanced security enabled (ready to secure), the utility canat a later dateconfigure the ERT modules for ISM enhanced security. Enabling 100G DLS Remote Gas ERT Module Security When remote 100G DLS modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a utility factory key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable enhanced security; the installer enables enhanced remote 100G DLS module security at the time the ERT module is deployed using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility Factory key. For more information, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934).

Installation Options Mount the remote ERT module using the Pipe Mount or Wall Mount (Flat Surface) procedure. Pipe Mount. Pipe mounting is used in conjunction with the Remote Mount Kit (Itron part number CFG-
0005-003). The pipe mount option places the module on a pipe near the meter or instrument (not on a wall surface). This option requires a meter manufacturer's cable to connect the module to the meter or instrument. Flat Vertical (Wall) Mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the module on a wall or other vertical surface. A cable connects the module to the meter or instrument. Mounting Screw Specifications Application Itron Part Number 575-9930-016 To mount adapter plates on pipe brackets Description 8-16 x 1/2-inch length, type 8 slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel To mount remote modules on adapter plates 575-9930-032 8-16 x 1-inch type 8, slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel SCR-0009-001 To mount remote modules on sheet metal surfaces (to mount modules to wood surfaces, a comparable wood screw is required) 10-16 x 1 1/2-inch type AB thread for sheet metal, Phillips pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 8 Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Mounting Installation Considerations Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the 100G series remote gas module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length. The 100G series remote gas module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet. Mount the 100G series remote gas module in a vertical position with the ERT label directional arrow pointed upward. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. Warning Do not mount the 100G remote module in an orientation other than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements will void the product warranty. Mounting the Remote ERT Module on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the 100G DLS Remote Gas ERT Module on a pipe or vertical flat surface (wall):

Strip one inch of the outer insulation from the 100G series remote gas module. Caution Keep wires away from the rotating magnetic spindle in the Honeywell Instrument. 3. Strip 1/4-inch individual wire insulation from the red, white, and blue lead wires. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 44 Electronic Instrument Installation 4. Twist the blue and white wires together and connect them to the Honeywell Instrument terminal strip connector (Phoenix connector) following the Honeywell Instrument Item Code Settings on page 43 Table. 5. Connect the red wire following the Item Code Settings on page 43 Table. Note In Honeywell Instrument EC-AT correctors, the connector may be soldered to the pulse board. 6. See Mounting the 100G series remote gas module on page 9 for module mounting instructions. Wiring Dual ERT Modules to a Honeywell Instrument This section includes the information to wire dual ERT modules to a single Honeywell Instrument. Installation requires the correct programming parameters (see Item Code Settings on page 43). With Itron 100G series remote gas modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected consumption values by installing two ERT modules. The ERT module for corrected reads is attached to the corrector's pulse output. The ERT module for uncorrected reads is attached to the input switch board. The corrected pulse output is programmable; the uncorrected pulse output is dependent on the connected meter's drive rate. Important Some Honeywell Instruments have two pulse outputs so the uncorrected pulse output could be connected to the additional output, but the connection should be to the input switch board in case the corrector battery fails. Counts will be collected if the uncorrected pulse is connected to the switch board since the board is not dependent on battery power. Dual remote ERT modules mounted on a Honeywell Instrument TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 45 Electronic Instrument Installation To install dual 100G Series Gas ERT Modules to a Honeywell Instrument Mini-Max Case Volume Corrector using Honeywell Kit 22-1077 1.

Verify both wires are fully inserted into the gel-connector prior to crimping. Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow. If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 49 Electronic Instrument Installation 7. Insert the gel-connected wires into the threaded gray adapter plate hole. 8. Replace the strain relief and tighten until secure.

Connecting the Remote Mount ERT to the IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable You can ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from GE Dresser, complete the following cable installation procedure. Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible with the IMC/W2 or MC2 receptacle. GE Dresser cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If necessary, contact GE Dresser for wiring diagrams for your specific application. To connect the 100G series remote gas module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 cable 1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the 100G series remote gas module and expose the module lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the module later in this procedure so store them
(temporarily) in a safe, secure place. 2. Insert the lead wires from the 100G series remote gas module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) together with the same colored lead wire from the meter cable (see the wiring table below) and crimp using a 3M hand-held crimping tool. Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow. If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire in the gel connector.

Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting holes on the back of the IMC\W2. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. 100G series remote gas module batteries must be vertical (installed with the positive terminal upward) or battery life is compromised. 5. Secure the ERT module/bracket assembly on the IMC\W2 using four ERT module/mounting bracket screws (M6 x 20 mm). 6. There are two options to connect the 100G series remote gas module to the GE Dresser IMC\W2:
1. For the Amphenol connector: plug the connector from the Itron ERT module to the IMC\W2 volume input connector. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 55 Electronic Instrument Installation 2. For the cable gland or conduit fitting:

Cut Cable Alarm Romet Cable ERT module White Red Green White Red Blue To connect the 100G remote module to the Romet AdEM corrector using the PG9 factory-
installed pigtail cable 1. Remove the ERT module backplate (4 screws) to expose the module lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the ERT module later in this procedure so store them (temporarily) in a safe, secure place. 2. Insert the lead wires from the module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) together with the lead wire from the meter cable (see the Romet PG9 Pigtail Wiring table on page 72). 3. Crimp the connectors using a 3M hand-held crimping tool. Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel connectors. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel connector is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow. If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection. Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire in the gel connector. 4. After the wire connections are completed, install a cable tie to the meter cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the cable insulation. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 73 Electronic Instrument Installation 5. Remove the excess cable tie using a hand-held side-cutter pliers. The cable tie performs as a cable strain relief to mitigate the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires. 6. Tuck the three gel connectors and cable tie inside the module housing, as shown in the following placement schematic illustration. 7. Install the remote ERT module backplate using the four screws previously removed from the module and a Torx T-10 screwdriver. Important Verify the cable tie and gel connectors are inside the module housing and the cable extends out of the slot in the backplate. Torque the backplate mounting screws to 9 to 12 inch-pounds. 8. Install the module on the wall or a pipe using the Pipe Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-0005-003) or install the module on the Romet AdEM meter using the Romet ERT mounting bracket (Romet part number 46-444-2).

0005-003) or a vertical flat (wall) surface. Always mount the 100G series remote gas module with the printed label right-side-up (arrow pointing up -1), and the encoder wires (2) and tamper seals (3) at the bottom, as shown. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. 100G series remote gas module batteries must be vertical (installed with the positive terminal upward) or battery life is compromised. Installing 100G Series Gas ERT Module Encoders Caution To insure proper adhesion, the 100G series remote gas module encoder must be installed at temperatures between 40 to 95 Fahrenheit. There are four tasks when installing the 100G series remote gas module with an encoder on a diaphragm meter:
1. Remove the index cover and any gasket residue. 2. Install the 100G series remote gas module encoder on the index. 3. Program the 100G series remote gas module. 4. Attach the index cover to the meter. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 79 Diaphragm Meter Installation To remove the index Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. Replace any stripped, worn, or corroded mounting screws. 1. Cut and remove any wire seal routed through the index cover screws. Remove the index cover and set aside. Remove the index mounting screws in an alternating fashion. 2. Remove the two index screws in an alternating fashion. Loosen the left index screw two turns, loosen the index screw three to four turns. Hold the index while removing the screws to keep the index from falling. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged. 3. Remove the old gasket and any gasket residue from the meter and the index cover. 4. Use the FC200SR or FC300 to read the 100G series remote gas module. Record the reading for comparison with progressive readings as installation is completed. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 80 Diaphragm Meter Installation To install the encoder 1. Remove the magnet hub from the Encoder Installation kit (Itron part number CFG-0081-001). Verify there is only one magnet in the hub. Note If there is no magnet or if there are two magnets in the magnet hub, discard the magnet hub and use a hub with one magnet. 2. Briefly place the magnet side of the magnet hub into the curved indentation in the encoder, as shown. 3. Remove the magnet hub from the encoder and set it at least one inch away from the encoder. 4. Use the ERT module programming device to read the 100G series remote gas module. If this reading is higher than the reading taken after removing the index, the 100G series remote gas module is counting and working properly. Note If the reading is not higher than the previous reading, the 100G series remote gas module is not reading. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. If the 100G series remote gas module is still not counting, replace the 100G series remote gas module and perform steps 3, 4, and 5. 5. Align the large notch in the side of the magnet hub spacer with the needle of the meter drive rate dial (1-
foot or 2-foot for residential diaphragm meters; 5-, 10-, or 100-foot for commercial diaphragm meters). 6. Press the magnet hub spacer down over the dial needle as far as possible. The tip on the bottom of the spacer may touch index face. Turn the dial in the direction noted on the index after hub spacer installation to verify the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 81 Diaphragm Meter Installation 7. Align the pointer (1) on the top of the magnet hub and the notch (2) in the side of the magnet hub with the needle (3) of the meter drive rate dial. 8. Press the magnet hub down over the hub spacer as far as possible. The bottom of the hub spacer may touch the index face. Turn the dial after magnet hub installation to verify the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. 9. If the tip of the dial needle sticks out past the edge of the magnet hub, cut off the end of the dial needle as close as possible to the magnet hub with a sharp, side-cutting pliers. 10. Remove the acetone stick applicator from the Remote Encoder Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-
0081-001). 11. Select a location on the index face next to the magnet hub. After encoder installation, the encoder cable must not interfere with the index dials. Note If a TEMP COMP sticker is attached to the index where the encoder cable will mount, remove it before cleaning with the acetone stick. If the sticker (or replacement sticker) must be put back on the register face, place it in a new location on the index face after the encoder is attached. 12. Tilt the acetone stick vertically with the wick end down. Squeeze the acetone stick on the black dot until the packet inside the pen breaks. Continue to hold the acetone stick vertical until the acetone wicks into the foam applicator end.

Slide the thin end of the encoder spacing tool down over the magnet hub. 15. Peel the strip of protective plastic off the adhesive side of the module's encoder. Important You must do the next two steps exactly as described or the 100G series remote gas module will not work properly. 16. Press the curved side of the encoder firmly against the side of the encoder spacing tool as shown below, with the adhesive side down. 17. Slide the encoder down along the side of the encoder spacing tool until it touches the surface of the index
(as shown below). Using moderate pressure, hold the encoder firmly against the index, without moving, for 15 seconds to permanently apply the encoder. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 83 Diaphragm Meter Installation The photo below shows how the encoder spacing tool and encoder will look after the 15 second wait time. 18. Remove the encoder spacing tool and lay the index on a flat, horizontal surface, to diminish strain on the encoder cable. 19. Program the index reading (with the encoder mounted) into the 100G series remote gas module. 20. Read the 100G series remote gas module. If this reading is the same as the reading programmed into the 100G series remote gas module, the ERT module is programmed correctly. Index Cover Installation Required Materials Use the correct replacement index cover gasket for your index (see Replacement Gaskets for Itron 4-hole, 2-
hole, or 1-hole gasket part numbers). To install the meter index covers over the 100G series remote gas module encoder cable 1. Remove the gasket center and index cover hole plugs from the new gasket. 2. Insert the index/encoder assembly through the gasket center. Verify the gasket's adhesive-backed side is facing the meter face. 3. 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). TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 84 Diaphragm Meter Installation 4. 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. 5. Remove the excess cable tie with a side-cutting pliers. Dispose excess cable tie properly. 6. 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 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. 7. Install the four index cover screws and tighten just enough to hold the screws in place. TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 85 Diaphragm Meter Installation 8. Verify the encoder cable is in the cable slot of the gasket.

FC200SR FC300 with SRead 900MHz Belt Clip Radio To program the remote ERT module Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series remote gas module using a handheld computer or Belt Clip Radio and laptop computer. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target ERT module. Verify you have the correct programming mode (fixed network mode, mobile high power mode, mobile/handheld mode, or hard-to-read mobile/handheld mode) for your application. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the programming device. During programming, the 100G series remote gas module is set to the nearest 100 cubic feet; the last two digits (tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). After programming is complete, the ERT module assembly will read to the nearest cubic foot. Read or Check the 100G series remote gas module using the handheld computer or Belt Clip Radio. If the read result is higher than the number programmed in step 1, the 100G series remote gas module is counting correctly. If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in step 1, replace the 100G series remote gas module.
