Transportation Classification
Itron classifies and ships model 40W and 50W ERT modules as non-hazardous material. The proper shipping name is Lithium
Batteries contained in Equipment, Class 9, UN3091, Packing Group II.
Modules
The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits operating transmitters and receivers on all commercial aircraft. When powered, the
model 40W and 50W ERT modules are considered operating transmitters and receivers and cannot be shipped by air.
Only authorized Itron personnel should attempt repairs on Itron equipment. Attempts to do so by others might void the warranty and/or
any maintenance contract with your company. Unauthorized service personnel might also be subject to shock hazard on some Itron
equipment if removal of protective covers is attempted.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
This section overviews the installation procedures, and the physical and functional features of the 40W
and 50W ERT modules. This section also lists the specific meters that are compatible with these
modules and illustrates their various configurations. Finally, this section lists the available installation
kits and the tools and materials you’ll need to install the 40W and 50W modules.
1.1 Installation Procedures
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR THE 40W AND 50W ARE IDENTICAL
1.2 Physical Features
The only visible difference is that the 40W contains one battery, and the 50W contains two batteries.
The 40W contains one battery
The 50W contains two batteries
1.3 Functional Features
The 50W ERT module can be programmed two ways:
1. Wake-Up Mode: A “wake-up” signal is sent from the meter-reading device* to the ERT module,
which responds with data transmission. This configuration requires an FCC license.
2. “Bubble-Up” Mode. In this mode, the FCC requires that no wake-up signal be sent. The
transmission of data from the ERT module occurs at preset times. No wake-up signal is needed
and no FCC license is required for this type of installation. To turn off the transmitter from the meterreading device, refer to the operating instructions for that device.
The 40W ERT module functions only in the “wake-up” mode.

1.4Meter-ERT Compatibility
Before you install a 40W or 50W ERT module, make sure it is the correct one for the meter. Match
the part number in Table 1-1 with the meter. Refer to Water ERT® Meter Compatibility list for details
and exceptions.

CAUTION: The 50W ERT for Hersey ER, Precision, and AMCO Digital registers
must be programmed to the appropriate meter type to prevent the possibility of
reporting inaccurate consumption values. To perform this function, refer to the
instructions supplied with the ReadOne® Pro ERT Programming Guide TDC0027-005 (or higher). Also, verify that the ReadOne Pro used for programming
is software version 5.0 or higher, and your ROCL is base VO9 or higher. Each
of these attributes can be verified from the various screens on the ReadOne
Pro.
(Note: ReadOne Pro software version 5.0 does not support 25G ERT modules. Contact Customer
Care at 1-800-635-8725 for additional information.)
NOTE: Although all procedures are illustrated with photos of the 40W module, the installation procedure for
the 50W is exactly the same.

1.7Tools and Materials You Must Supply
The tools and material required depend on whether you are installing a direct-mount ERT module or a remotemount ERT module; and if it is remote, the way it is mounted (pipe or flat surface). You must supply some or
all of the tools and material listed in Tables 1–2 and 1-3 below. Also, If you remove and replace registers, you
might need tools specified by register manufacturer.
NOTE: For remote-mount installations, customer-supplied cable is required (Badger supplies 3 feet

SECTION 2. INSTALLING THE BADGER DIRECT-MOUNT
Check the part number on the label to make sure the ERT module matches the meter (reference Table
1-1).
UP
Always install an ERT module right side up, as indicated by the on the label.
Make sure you have a Badger register with a direct-mount bracket (as shown in Section 1).
CAUTION: If an ERT module is dropped from a height of 3 feet or more, there may be damage to the circuit
board. DO NOT install the ERT module.
NOTE
The register may or may not be mounted on the meter when performing the following steps.
2-1
Obtain an ERT module for the Badger
register. ERT modules have three
wires:
one wire with green insulation
one wire with red insulation
one wire with black insulation
2-2
Connect the black wire from the register to the
black wire from the ERT module with a gel connector, as described in Appendix A of this manual. Do
the same with the red wire. The green wire is not
used.

The register can be installed on the meter in four
different positions with respect to the direction of
water flow (refer to the directions that come with the
meter or register).
If the standard Torx screw is used
(as shown), a wire seal is not necessary.

SECTION 6. INSTALLING A REMOTE MOUNT
Check the part number on the label to make sure the ERT module matches the meter (reference Table
1-1).
Always install an ERT module right side up, as indicated by the on the label.
CAUTION: If an ERT module is dropped from a height of 3 feet or more, there might be damage to the
circuit board. Do not install the ERT module.
NOTE: All 40W & 50W ERT modules can be remote mounted above grade outside.
Get a supply of 19-26 gauge, pre-bonded or solid conductor wire with a maximum diameter of .082" (individual
wire with insulation). Note the Badger RTR register and the ADE register come with 3 feet to 100 feet of cable
(typically 25 feet). All other cable is to be supplied by the customer. Total cable length should not exceed
300 feet (500 feet for Badger).
INSTALLATION TIP: Some installers prefer to first run the wire from the water meter to the point where the
ERT will be installed and then connect the wire to the register, and lastly connect the other end of the wire to
the ERT. Any order is acceptable, and this is simply installer preference. If you use existing wire, do a
continuity check first.
NOTE: If customer-supplied wire is not color coded red, green, and black, care must be taken that each of
the 3 individually colored wires is installed correctly. For example, if customer supplied wire is pink, gray and
yellow, and the installer connects at the register the pink wire to the register's red (R), the gray wire to the
register's black (B), and the yellow wire to the register's green (G), then the installer must connect the other
end of those wires to the ERT as follows:
• Pink wire to ERT red wire
• Gray wire to ERT black wire
• Yellow wire to ERT green wire.
UP
The register may or may not be mounted on the meter
when performing the following steps.
Installing 40W and 50W ERT Modules
NOTE
6-1
Obtain adequate supply of wire (installer supplied).
Using a wire stripper, remove about
3" of the outer insulation from the
wire.

Wiring Instructionsfor 6-11:
1. Cut black connector off the end of pulser assembly
about 1” from end. (See Picture)
2. Install the white cable tie about 2” from the end of the
pulser assembly that was just cut and properly tighten.
3. Remove about 1 1/2 inches of the cables outer jacket
and separate the 3 wires.
4. Place the Black wire from the ERT and the Red wire
from the pulser assembly into a gel connector and
properly crimp down on the connector. See Appendix A.
5. Place the Red wire from the ERT and the Black wire
from the pulser assembly into a second gel connector
and properly crimp down on the connector.
6. Place the Green wire from the ERT and the Bare wire
from the pulser assembly (remember to tightly twist bare
wire) into a third gel connector and properly crimp down
on the connector.

DRILLING TEMPLATE--ACTUAL SIZE
If you have several installations, you can make a durable
template as follows:
Drill a hole through the lug slot of a mounting bracket,
where indicated, to mark the position of that screw. Keep
this permanent template for future use.
NOTE
If you do not use the mounting screws furnished with the
ERT module, be sure to use
screws that have the same
size head as those furnished
with the ERT module.

Then squeeze the crimping tool handle until it pushes the
connector (now crimped) out of the tool when you release
the handle.
00659x
A connector is crimped properly if the
top of the movable, yellow center part
is flush with the
top of the connector body.
00665
CAUTION
Crimping the connectors sometimes squeezes some
sealant out of them. The sealant protects the inside
of the connector against insects, moisture, and other
contaminants.
The sealant may cause minimal eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
