Mounting Installation Considerations
Caution Vertical mounting position is important to maximize RF performance. You can
mount a 2.4GZ OpenWay remote gas module with the module's label arrow pointing up or
down, dependent upon the application as noted in relevant sections of this installation
manual. The module's arrow must never point to either side. The module's tilt tamper
functionality is designed to operate with the module installed vertically. The 2.4GZ
module's tilt tamper will operate with the label arrow pointed up or down. The module's tilt
tamper will not operate with the module installed horizontally (the label arrow pointed to
either side).
Warning Do not mount the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module in an orientation
other than vertical (endpoint 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 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas
module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cablelength. The 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet.
Mount the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module in a vertical position with the endpoint label
directional arrow pointed upward or downward.

Wiring Dual Modules to a Mercury Instrument
Important Some Mercury 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 instrument 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.
This section includes the information to wire dual endpoints to a single Mercury Instrument. Installation
requires the correct programming parameters (see Code Settings on page 38).
With Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected
consumption values by installing two modules. The module for corrected reads is attached to the instrument's
pulse output. The 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.

Connecting the OpenWay Remote Mount Gas Module to the
Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible with the IMC/W2
or MC2 receptacle. Dresser ROOTS® cables may be wired in different configurations for
specific applications. If necessary, contact Dresser ROOTS® Meters for wiring diagrams for
your specific application.
Dresser ROOTS® IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable
You may ship the Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module directly to Dresser ROOTS® Meters for a
factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from Dresser
ROOTS®, complete the following cable installation procedure.
To connect the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 cable
1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the 2.4GZ remote module and expose the endpoint lead wires. The
backplate and screws will be re-installed on the endpoint module later in this procedure so store them
(temporarily) in a safe, secure place.

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.

3. Dresser ROOTS® IMC/W2 and MC2 cables are typically delivered with a cable tie installed. If the meter
cable does not include a cable tie, install a tie to the 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 endpoint housing, as shown. Position the cable tie as
shown by the arrow in the position schematic below.
5. Install the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module backplate using the four screws previously
removed from the endpoint and a Torx T-15 screwdriver.
Important Verify the cable tie and gel connectors are inside the endpoint housing and the cable extends
out of the slot in the backplate. Torque the backplate mounting screws to 9-12 inch-pounds.
