ules designed to be read under Itrons multi-purpose OpenWay Riva Network Mode or by legacy ChoiceConnect Mobile Mode. In OpenWay Riva Network Mode, the 500G ERT module offers firmware download, sub-hourly interval data, and extended data storage. In Mobile Mode, the ERT module operates identical to the 100G DLS Dataglogging ERT module. Itron 500G ERT modules can be read by legacy handhelds and mobile or the new Itron Mobile Radio readers. The 500G ERT module continues Itron's tradition of reliability, accuracy, and long battery life while supporting the industry's standards for security and intrinsic safety. The remote ERT module features tilt and cut cable-event reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when communications fail between the meter or instrument and the ERT module, possibly from a cut or disconnected cable. The ERT module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable alarm or event. Note: The OpenWay Riva 500GERTModule was previously called OpenWayRiva Gas Module. The UIassociated with this device may reflect the former name. Transmission Modes In OpenWay Riva Network Mode, the module provides 3,840 buckets of configurable interval data. Interval options are 5, 15, or 30 minutes. Note: Interval data options are dependent on the ERT module's firmware version. For more information, see Device Firmware Functionality on page14 . Output power in OpenWay Riva Network Mode is +27 dBm (500 milliwatts. The module is designed to transmit 3 times a day with a 20-year battery life. In Mobile Mode, the module provides 960 buckets of hourly interval data and can be set to trans-
mit in mobile and handheld, hard to read mobile and handheld. Mobile Mode transmission modes include the following transmission characteristics:
Mobile High Power Mode The 500G ERT module transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm. In Mobile High Power Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 10 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 2 About the OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Mobile and Handheld Mode The 500G ERT module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm. In Mobile and Handheld Mode, the expected bat-
tery life is 20 years.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mode The 500G ERT module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm. In Hard to Read Mode, the expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile mode should only be used for excep-
tionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on rooftops or in sub-basements). Caution: If you perform a Switch to OpenWay Riva Network Mode or Switch to Mobile Mode operation, it results in a loss of interval data. An FCC license is not required to read the 500G ERT modules. Gas Day Take Note: Gas Day Take functionality is dependent on the 500G ERT module firmware version. For more information, see Device Firmware Functionality on page14. Gas Day Take (GDT) is critical to many natural gas utilities. GDT allows utilities to manage dereg-
ulated gas purchases. While daily GDT reads can be used for various operations within the util-
ity, the primary time constrained business operation is to daily balance deregulated (transport) customers. GDT requires GDT data from a percentage (typically a maximum of 10%) of the util-
ity's customers at 9:00 a.m. Central Clock Time. All collected data must be prepared and presented to deregulated marketers and customers by 11:00 a.m. CCT to support the gas utility's deregulated tariff. If a deregulated marketer of cus-
tomer under or over-burns what they nominated for a given day, they may pay a daily penalty. Customers require the previous day's GDT data to make adjustments to their next day nom-
ination to avoid penalties. High Flow Event/Alarm Note: High Flow event functionality is dependent on the 500G ERT module firmware ver-
sion. For more information, see High Flow Event/Alarm above. High Flow is a configurable event/alarm that can alert a utility of an excessive flow of gas to avoid potential hazardous events. The High Flow threshold can be configured using FDM Tools or the OWOC CM. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 11 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 2 About the OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Local Auditing Note: Local auditing functionality is dependent on the ERT module's firmware version. For more information, see Device Firmware Functionality on page14. The 500G ERT module supports local data auditing of installation programming. Local auditing features the listed characteristics. Supports writing data (in both manufacturing and by FDM) to the module to support future installation programming auditing. Reading the auditing data is supported locally. Auditing parameters include FDM User ID, number of dials, meter drive rate, unit of meas-
ure, ERT count rate, rollover, and PComp. Timestamping of auditing parameters. Log access via COSEM only. Low Battery Event/Alarm Note: Low battery functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For more information, see Device Firmware Functionality on page14. The OpenWay Riva module low battery event is flagged when the device reaches a 10% of bat-
tery life remaining state. The event triggers an alarm configurable for asynchronous delivery to the head end system. OpenWay Riva 500G and Itron Security Manager The OpenWay Riva 500G ERT module is a component of Itron's OpenWay Riva system. The OpenWay Riva system security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the collection device and the ERT module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the Itron Security Manager to ensure sys-
tem communication confidentiality and validity. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 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, sym-
metric 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. Data transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256 encryption. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 12 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 2 About the OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module As a component of the Itron Openway Riva solution, the 500G ERT module supports the secur-
ity model found in the OpenWay solution for both reading and programming. If the ERT modules are shipped without security enabled (ready to secure), the utility canat a later datecon-
figure the modules for ISM enhanced security. Important! Modules ordered pre-programmed with security injected and specified as Zero Touch Deployment require that the installer rotates the wriggler five (5) times to activate the module to join the network, if the module is installed in a location with little or no gas flow.

Standard Installation Options Mount the remote ERT module using the pipe mount or wall mount (flat vertical surface) pro-
cedure. Pipe mount. Itron offers a pipe installation kit (CFG-0005-003) to mount the remote ERT module on a pipe. Flat vertical (wall) mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the module on a wall or other vertical surface. Select the mounting option that will best work for your system. For example, your setup may provide the location for a pipe mount but not a wall mount. The preferred mounting location is near the meter or instrument, but some installations may require an extended cable length. For example, your installation may require mounting the ERT module around a corner to avoid RF interference. The remote ERT module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet with a recom-
mended one-splice limitation. Installers must mount the remote ERT module in a vertical position with the ERT label directional arrow pointed upward. Warning! Do not mount the 500G remote ERT module in an orientation other than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting ori-
entation requirements may void the product warranty. Upright vertical positioning is critical because:
The 500G modules are optimized for communication and require upright mounting. Any other mounting position could result in reduced RF performance. The remote module tilt tamper sensor requires upright mounting. Any other mounting pos-
ition can cause issues with the module's tilt tamper detection. Mounting on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the remote ERT module on a pipe. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 17 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 3 Mounting the Remote 500G ERT Module Itron part number CFG-0005-003 Description Pipe mount kit contents:

pletely into the lug recess. Make adjustments as necessary. 3. Install the two bottom mounting screws. Tighten the screws in an alternating pattern to secure the module firmly in position. 4. Place a new tamper seal over each bottom 500G ERT module mounting screw as required. Note: To reduce the risk of cable damage, secure any excess 500G ERT module cabling with a cable tie. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 21 4Programming Caution: You must program the 500G ERT module before use. Programming Itron ERT modules requires an understanding of:
Your meter's drive rate and the number of dials The drive rate and number of dials is important for programming the module to count cor-
rectly and roll over to zero at the correct time. For example, a four-dial, 2 cubic-feet meter configuration will count two cubic-feet for each rotation and roll over to zero after 9999.99 where the ones place is equivalent to 100 cubic-feet. How your system interprets the meter reading Some systems modify the consumption reading with the collection software. Other times, the billing system is used to make modifications. If modifications are made in both sys-
tems, issues may cause consumption reading errors. It is important to understand your system before the ERT modules are programmed. Program the 500G ERT module in OpenWay Riva Network Mode using a compatible pro-
gramming device loaded with FDM version 4.1 or higher. Program the 500G ERT module in Mobile Mode using an approved programming device loaded with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 4.0 or higher. To enable enhanced security and for more complete programming information, see the Field Deployment Manager Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-1713). Standard Configuration The OpenWay Riva 500G ERT module is capable of configurations that reduce battery life. Standard battery life is based on the following configuration:
Hourly interval data Interrogations of 3 times per day 60 second receiver wakeup Five firmware downloads over the life of the ERT module Network management and security overhead set to default timing 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 22 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 4 OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Programming RF at capacity (2,000 maximum per cell) Average of one two-way command/response per week Programming the Remote 500GERT Module Program the meter drive rate into the remote ERT module using a compatible programming device. 1. Verify that you have the correct programming mode (OpenWay Riva Network Mode or Mobile Mode
[mobile high power mode, mobile/handheld mode, or hard-to-read mode]) for your application. 2. 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. 3. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the programming device. 4. Read or Check the remote ERT module using a compatible handheld computer. If the read result is higher than the number programmed in step 1, the module is counting correctly. If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in step 1, replace the remote ERT mod-
ule. Itron Programs and Software Variables This section defines and clarifies possible system variables you may encounter in programming 500G ERT modules. Field Deployment Manager (FDM) The following tables illustrate various FDM programming configurations and the endpoint response to each setting. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 23 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 4 OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Programming 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 24 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 4 OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Programming Programming example Endpoint programmed for 6 dial, 1000 cubic feet CCF. 1. Enter the initial index read. For this example, the initial read is 123456 where 6 = 600 cubic feet. After the initial programming, an endpoint read will result in a reading of 1234560 where the least significant digit is in 10's of cubic feet. Since counting is with a drive rate of 1000 cubic feet and the reading is transmitted in 10's of cubic feet, the last two digits of the reading will not change. 2. Program the endpoint to 123456. 3. Read the endpoint. The result should be 1234560 with the zero added to put the reading in 10's of cubic feet. 4. Add one count. The result should be 1234660. Notice that the last two digits of 60 do not change. Mercury X-Blank options Endpoints (ERT modules) can be programmed with one of the Mercury X-Blank options. There are 1, 2, 3, and 4 blank option available. Blank options are set up as a what-you-see-is-what-
you-get (WYSIWYG) configuration. The values are not set in cubic feet or cubic meter stand-
ards. The Mercury X-Blank options are used in configurations where the system receives pulses from a corrector or instrument that can change pulse values and has configurable display digits. The Mercury-X Blank options allow users to program the endpoint to match the configuration of the corrector or instrument. Check Endpoint functions The FDM Check Endpoint function triggers users to input the number of dials and drive rate if a Check Endpoint is requested for an endpoint programmed for 5, 6, or 7-dial meter con-
figurations. The request to input the dial and drive rate information happens only if the system has more than one option using the same count rate and rollover variable enabled in their FDM business unit. Note: Itron recommends that users only enable the configurations used by your business unit. Having only one meter configuration option enabled (with the endpoint variable being checked in the FDM business unit) eliminates the need to enter the number of dials. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 25 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 4 OpenWay Riva Remote 500G ERT Module Programming Field Collection System (FCS) (Mobile Mode only) In FCS, a Read Type Code can be assigned to a meter session. The Read Type Code in con-
junction with the Endpoint Type is used to determine how the endpoint reading is formatted using the Endpoint Translation table in FCS. The Endpoint Translation table is a configurable table that is used to determine the truncation factor and multiplier for each reading. A default End-
point Translation is defined for each type of endpoint supported by FCS (ReadType of 00 for each EndpointType). If the default Endpoint Translation is not formatting the read correctly, an additional Endpoint Translation can be defined to properly format the read. Since the Endpoint Translation Code is based on the Read Type Code and the Endpoint Type, changing from a 40-series endpoint to a 100-series endpoint can cause the reading to be trun-
cated differently. If you are having issues with your reading after a change out, check your Read Type Codes and Endpoint Translation Codes. OpenWay Operation Center (OWOC) The OpenWay Operation Center (OWOC) collects the raw reading and passes it on without mak-
ing any formatting changes. Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) Meter Data Management The standard unit of measure (UOM) in IEE is cubic feet for gas endpoints. The reading passed on by the gas endpoint is not in cubic feet if endpoints with 6 and 7-dial meter configurations are programmed, so adjustments are required to set the correct unit of measure. If you are having issues with your readings in IEE but your endpoint and meter index match, check your unit of measure within IEE. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 26 5Specific Meter Manufacturer Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install the 500G remote ERT module to compatible meters.

Honeywell Mechanical and Wiring Installation Instructions This section includes the information to wire two ERT modules to a single Honeywell Instrument. Installation requires the correct programming parameters (for programming parameters, see Programming on page22). Connectingto a Honeywell Mini-AT, Mini-Max, or EC-AT With Itron 500G remote ERT modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected con-
sumption 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, and 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 depend-
ent on battery power. This installation procedure requires a Honeywell mounting kit (Honeywell part number 22-1077). The illustrations show connection to a Honeywell Mini-AT. Connection to the Honeywell EC-AT and Mini-AT are similar to these instructions. See Honeywell product documentation for more information. 1. Connect the corrected module wires to TB1 on the Mini-Max board following the Corrected ERT module connection information. Use Honeywell upgrade kit 40-2678-1 to provide the second pulse out-
put channel for the uncorrected endpoint. 2. Insert the remote ERT module cable into the instrument's compression connector. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 58 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 5 Specific Meter Manufacturer Installation 3.

Connecting to the Honeywell TCI The Honeywell Instruments Temperature Compensating Index (TCI) provides two Form-A volume pulse outputs and one Form-B alarm output. These outputs are electronic switches. The 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 60 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 5 Specific Meter Manufacturer Installation 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 loose unterminated wires
(the individual wires from a cable) and gel-connectors. The TCI unit has six unterminated wires that require six gel-connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Loose wires are located inside the gray adapter plate behind the black strain relief fitting. Strain relief fitting Honeywell TCI strain relief tether Backplate black fitting with loose cable wires (Honeywell part number 22-1929) Completing the connections 1. Connect the remote module to receive TCI pulse readings. Note: Connect one ERT module/channel to the alarm output if the modules are used on channels A and B. 2. Remove strain relief fitting by unscrewing it 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 unterminated wires out of the adapter plate for access to the loose wires. 3. Loosen the strain relief fitting hex nut and remove the white plug from the center. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 61 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 5 Specific Meter Manufacturer Installation 4.

Product Mounting Installation Instructions For remote ERT module mounting with the diaphragm meter, see Mounting on page17. Diaphragm Meter Mechanical and Wiring Installation Instructions Caution: The remote ERT module encoder must be installed at temperatures between 40 and 95F to ensure proper adhesion. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 83 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 1. Remove the diaphragm meter index cover and index. Use care to hold the index cover and index while loosening the screws to protect them from damage if they are dropped. a. Remove the index cover screws in an alternating pattern. Hold the index cover while the screws are removed to protect it from damage due to being dropped. b. Remove the index cover and set aside. c. Remove the screws holding the index to the meter. Hold the index to protect it from damage due to being dropped. d. Set the index aside. 2. Remove the old gasket and any gasket residue from the meter and index cover. 3. Remove the magnet hub from the encoder installation kit (Itron part number CFG-0081-001). Verify that 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 hub. Encoder installation requires a magnet hub with one magnet. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 84 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 4. Briefly place the magnet side of the magnet hub into the curved indentation in the encoder as shown in the illustration. Remove the magnet hub from the encoder and set it at least one inch away from the encoder. 5. Use an ERT module programming device to read the remote module. If this reading is higher than the reading taken after the index was removed, the remote is counting and working properly. Note: It the reading is not higher than the previous reading, the remote module is not working properly. Repeat steps 4 and 5. If the module count is not incrementing, replace the remote ERT module and per-
form steps 4 and 5. 6. Align the large notch in the magnet hub spacer with the needle of the index meter drive rate dial (1- or 2-foot for residential diaphragm meters; 5-, 10-, or 100-foot for commercial diaphragm meters). Press the magnet hub spacer down over the dial needle as far as possible. The tip on the bottom of the spacer may touch the index face. Turn the dial in the direction noted on the index after the hub is in place to verify the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. 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. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 85 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 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 that the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. 9. If the dial needle tip 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 sharp, side-cutting pliers. 10. Remove the acetone stick applicator from the remote encoder installation kit (Itron part number CFG-0081-001). Select a location on the index face next to the magnet hub for the encoder installation. After 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. 11. Tilt the acetone stick vertically with the applicator foam end down. Squeeze the acetone stick on the black dot until the packet inside the pen breaks. Continue to hold the pen in a vertical position until the acetone wicks into the foam applicator end. Apply a thorough coat of acetone to the index where the encoder will be installed. Do not touch the area where the acetone was applied before the encoder is installed. 12. Slide the thin end of the encoder spacing tool down over the magnet hub. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 86 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 13. Peel the protective plastic away from the adhes-
ive side of the encoder. Important: You must do the next two steps exactly as described or the remote ERT module will not work properly. 14. Press the curved side of the encoder firmly against the side of the encoder spacing tool as shown below, with the adhesive side down. 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. 15. Remove the encoder spacing tool and lay the index on a flat, horizontal surface to reduce strain on the encoder cable. 16. Program the index reading (with the encoder mounted) into the remote module. Read the remote module and verify that the reading matches the read programmed into the remote module. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 87 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 17. Use the correct replacement gasket for your meter's index. Remove the gasket center and index cover-hole plugs from the new gasket. Insert the index and encoder assembly through the gasket cen-
ter with the gasket's adhesive-backed side facing the meter. 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 replace-
ment gasket to expose the adhesive side of the gas-
ket. Align the gasket (1), encoder cable (2), and cable tie (for strain-relief) (3) on the meter as shown. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 88 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 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 ensure 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. 22. Verify that the encoder cable is in the correct pos-
ition in the cable slot of the gasket. Fully tighten the screws in an alternating pattern. Install utility-
approved security seals and wires as required. Programming and Requirements Notes for Diaphragm Meter Installations For remote ERT module programming, see Programming on page22. Residential ModuleProgramming Notes The ERT module is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower dial on the index. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-
cubic foot, 2-cubic feet or 0.05 cubic meters (not shown below). 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 89 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation Commercial ModuleProgramming Notes Take note of the index drive rate shown on the index. The ERT is programmed based on the drive rate. Elster American commercial meter index drive rates may be 5-, 10- or 100 cubic feet. The index shown has a 10-cubic foot drive rate. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 90 7Optional Sealant Application Instructions In areas where insect intrusion is a problem, Itron recommends an optional sealant to help keep insects out of the ERT module housing. The Itron-tested and approved sealant (Itron part num-
ber ADH-5106-000) is used to seal gaps in remote ERT module installations that can allow insect intrusion. 1. Prepare the module for the sealant by verifying the applic-
ation area is clean and dry. Warning: Apply sealant in a well-ventilated area. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 91 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 7 Optional sealant application instructions 2. Itron recommends sealant application after the remote mod-
ule is installed so the cable is in the installation position. Use the sealant (ADH-5106-000) to fill the gap. 3. Use enough sealant to fill the gap. Wipe off any excess sealant and replace the cover on the sealant tube. 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 92 8Using Gel-cap Connectors to Complete Wiring Connections This section provides the instructions to complete remote ERT module to meter wiring con-
nections. Gel-cap connections require:
E-9R 3M gel-cap crimping tool 3M gel-cap connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) 1. Push the two wires into the connector as far as possible. Caution: Do not strip insulation from the ends of the wires before inserting them into the connector. 2. Place the connector and connector wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Ensure that the wires remain fully inserted in the connector. 3. Squeeze the handles to crimp the connector. Apply pres-
sure until the cap is fully seated (at least three seconds). 25 July 2019 TDC-1678-005 93 500GERTModule Installation Guide, RemoteMount Chapter 8 Using gel-cap connectors to complete wiring connections 4. The connector is properly crimped when the top of the move-
able yellow center (1) is flush with the top of the connector body (2). Warning: Crimping the connector forces sealant out of the connector. The sealant protects the inside of the connector against insects, moisture, or other contaminants. The sealant may cause minor eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye contact.
