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 the 100G series remote
ERT module as the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module. Mechanical and electrical installation
procedures are similar for all modules. 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module compatible meters and
instruments are listed in the 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 3.

Itron 100G series remote ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an

C H A P T E R 1

100G Datalogging FN ERT Module

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 offers 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 adds improved network performance through even higher transmit power,
accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures.

The 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT 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 endpoint. 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module circuitry
senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event.

Transmission Modes

The 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT 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 Datalogging FN remote gas ERT 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 Datalogging FN remote ERT module transmits a
medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.

Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G series remote gas ERT 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 ERT 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 FN 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 ERT modules.

Installation Options

Mount the 100G Datalogging FN 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 ERT 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 ERT module to the meter
or instrument.

Flat Vertical (Wall) Mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the ERT module on a wall or

other vertical surface. A cable connects the ERT module to the meter or instrument.

Mounting Installation Considerations

Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:

100G Datalogging FN 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 Datalogging FN 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 Datalogging FN remote ERT module in an orientation other
than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward or downward). Violating the
mounting orientation requirements will void the product warranty.

Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT
module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable­length. The 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet.

Mount the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module in a vertical position with the ERT module label
directional arrow pointed upward.

Warning Install the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module in an upright position. Any
position other than upright can negatively affect radio performance and potentially reduce
battery life.

Caution Vertical mounting position is important to maximize RF performance. Mount the 100G
Datalogging FN remote ERT module with the module's label arrow pointing up. The module's
arrow must never point to either side or upside down. The module's tilt tamper functionality is
designed to operate with the module installed vertically.

The following items are required to mount the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module on a pipe or
vertical flat surface (wall):

To mount the pipe bracket on a vertical pipe

2. Loosen the band clamp screw until the end of the band releases.

3. Push the end of the clamp's band (1) through the holes (2) in the pipe bracket. The pipe bracket must be

oriented as shown below.

4. Place the band clamp around the pipe. The band will loosely wrap around the pipe. Push the end of the

band through the band clamp screw assembly. Turn the band clamp's screw assembly to fit into the pipe
bracket opening. Tighten the clamp screw until the band clamp is secure on the pipe.

Caution The pipe bracket must fit firmly against the pipe to prevent slippage.
