the follow ing tw o conditions:
• This dev ice may not cause harmful interference.
• This dev ice must ac cept any interference that may cause undesirable operation.
This dev ic e must be permanently mounted s uch that it retains a distance of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) from all persons in order to com ply with FC C RF expos ure lev els.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a C lass B digital devic e, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to prov ide reas onable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance w ith the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio c ommunications. H ow ev er, there is no guarantee that interference will not occ ur in a partic ular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telev ision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures :
• Reorient or relocate the receiv ing antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiv er.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to w hich the rec eiv er is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
This equipment complies w ith polic ies RSS -210 and RS S-GE N of the Industry C anada
rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• (1) this dev ice may not cause interference, and
• (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the dev ic e.
U nder I ndustry Canada regul ations, this radio trans mitter may only operate us ing an
antenna of a type and max imum (or lesser) gain approv ed for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users , the antenna ty pe and its
gain should be so chosen that the equiv alent isotropically radiated power (e.i. r. p.) is not
more than that nec ess ary for successful communication.

Document Purpose
This document provides the installation instructions for the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+. Mounting
options for the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module include rod mount, wall mount, through-lid
(remote antenna), and shelf-mount installation. For available model configuration, see 100W/100W+ and
100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Models on page 4.
An optional Itron Leak Sensor is available for all three configurations to provide leak monitoring capability.
100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module configurations provide an easy interface to several register
types. The 20-inch cable variant allows meter manufacturers to mount the ERT module directly to their
respective meter registers before delivery to the installer.
Caution Installing an integrated 100W /100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module and meter register in a
water pit box reduces the ERT module's RF signal distance significantly. If read reliability is a problem,
install a remote antenna or select a new installation method.
