Installing the 100G ERT Module For Two-Foot Meters: Align the ERT module assembly wriggler with the meter drive slot (as shown below). It is acceptable for the pin on the 100G wriggler to be installed inside or outside of the meter drive slot. For ease of assembly, Itron recommends that the pin on the 100G wriggler be installed outside of the meter drive slot. 3. Gently place the ERT module assembly on the meter. Align the four screw holes on the ERT module assembly with the holes on the meter. 4.

CHAPTER 3 Sensus Meter Installation This chapter shows you how to install a 100G ERT Module on a Sensus meter. The instructions in this chapter apply to 11-tooth, 16-tooth, and 18-tooth Sensus endpoints. Sensus meters are also known as: Invensys, Equimeter, and Rockwell. For consistency, these meter types will be referred to as Sensus meters for this installation procedure. Installation Prerequisites The following items are required to install the Itron 100G ERT Module.
Chapter 3 Sensus Meter Installation Materials Supplied By You The following tools are required to install, initialize, and check the 100G ERT Module on the meter. Small and medium flat-blade or Phillips screwdrivers Used to remove and tighten index and index-cover screws. Side-cutting plier/wire snips Used for cutting wire seals, if necessary. Small putty knife Used to remove all traces of old gaskets from the meter.
Installing the 100G ERT Module Installing the 100G ERT Module There are four steps to installing the 100G ERT Module on a meter: Remove the index Assemble the 100G ERT Module Program the 100G ERT Module Attach the 100G ERT Module to the meter. NOTE Properly dispose of all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other left over materials. Do not leave any materials on customer premises.
Chapter 3 Sensus Meter Installation TIP Use the index cover you just removed as a temporary storage location for screws. NOTE Dispose of the index cover properly when finished with the installation procedure. Do not leave it on customer premises. 4. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely. 5. Remove the other index mounting screw. 6. Place the index where it will not be damaged; get filled with dirt, rain or snow; or fall to the ground or floor. The index will be used later in this procedure. 7.
Installing the 100G ERT Module Assemble the ERT Module The next step in the 100G ERT Module installation is to create the endpoint module assembly by attaching the endpoint backplate and cover to the meter index. To Assemble the ERT 1. Obtain a new 100G ERT Module. 2. Separate the ERT module backplate from the cover. 3. Place the index drive gear (1) in the backplate wriggler gear cup (2) of the ERT. The following picture shows an 11-tooth drive gear.
Chapter 3 Sensus Meter Installation 4. Attach the right-hand mounting screw to the index and meter, just far enough to hold the index in place. Use one 6 - 32 x 5/8-inch screw for this step (you can use an original mounting screw if it was the correct size and not corroded; otherwise, use the correct size Replacement Screw on page 26). 5. Install and tighten the left-hand index mounting screw. 6. Tighten the right-hand index mounting screw completely.
Installing the 100G ERT Module 7. Slide the ERT cover over the index and backplate. 8. Verify that the cover is installed correctly. Next, program the ERT module. Program the ERT The ERT must be programmed using the FC200SR with EndPoint-Link software. See the Endpoint-Link ERT Programming Guide (TDC-0411) for more information. IMPORTANT You must perform the following programming procedure for the ERT module to function properly. Sensus meters.
Chapter 3 Sensus Meter Installation To Program the ERT Module 1. Using the FC200SR, program the reading of the index that was on the meter into the ERT module assembly. For initial programming, hold the FC200SR approximately 1 foot away from the 100G. For reprogramming (30 days or more past initial programming), hold the FC200SR approximately 4 to 5 feet away from the 100G.
Installing the 100G ERT Module Attach the ERT to the Meter After the endpoint has been programmed and is reading correctly, it must be attached to the meter. Follow the steps below to do this. To Attach the ERT to the Meter 1. Gently place the ERT module assembly against the front of the meter as shown. Make sure all four mounting screw holes in the ERT module assembly line up with the corresponding holes on the meter.
Chapter 3 Sensus Meter Installation 3. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the cover. IMPORTANT Meter manufacturers should torque the mounting screws 15 to 20 inch-pounds. 4. Place a new tamper seal over two of the mounting screws as shown below.
Installing the 100G ERT Module 5. Press the new tamper seals into place using the 11/32-inch nut driver (or another similar blunt tool). 6. Complete any necessary paperwork. Make sure no excess material is left on the customer premises. The ERT is now installed on the meter.

CHAPTER 4 Actaris Meter Installation This chapter shows you how to install a 100G ERT Module on an Actaris meter. Actaris meters are also known by the names: Sprague, and Schlumberger. For consistency, all of these meter types will be referred to as Actaris meters for this installation procedure. Installation Prerequisites The following items are required to install the Itron 100G ERT Module.
Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation Materials Supplied By You The following tools are required to install, initialize, and check the 100G ERT Module on the meter. Small and medium flat-blade or Phillips screwdrivers Used to remove and tighten index and index-cover screws. Side-cutting plier/wire snips Used for cutting wire seals, if necessary. Small putty knife Used to remove all traces of old gaskets from the meter.

NOTE Properly dispose of all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other left over materials. Do not leave any materials on customer premises.
Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation 5. Loosen the index mounting screws one-half turn. 6. Slide the index off its mounting screws and remove from the meter. Set the index where it won't get damaged or dirty. 7. Remove the index mounting screws from the meter. Check the screws for length and corrosion. If they are 1/4 inches long and not corroded, you can use them to attach the index to the 100G ERT Module. If the screws are not the correct length, or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Installing the 100G ERT Module Assemble the ERT Module The next step in the 100G ERT Module installation is to create the endpoint module assembly by attaching the endpoint backplate and cover to the meter index. To Separate the Cover from the Backplate 1. Obtain a new 100G ERT Module. 2. Place your thumb in the notch on the bottom of the endpoint to hold the backplate and pull the cover away from the backplate.
Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation 5. Position the backplate and index wrigglers as shown below. 6. Slide the index mounting brackets onto the mounting screws. 7. Make sure the backplate wriggler post is below the index wriggler when lowering the index mounting brackets onto the index mounting screws.
Installing the 100G ERT Module 8. Hold the index in place with your thumb and tighten the index mounting screws. 9. Slide the cover over the index and onto the backplate until it is against the gasket. Program the ERT The ERT must be programmed using the FC200SR with EndPoint-Link software. See the Endpoint-Link ERT Programming Guide (TDC-0411) for more information. IMPORTANT You must perform the following programming procedure for the ERT module to function properly.
Chapter 4 Actaris Meter Installation To program the ERT module 1. Using the FC200SR, program the reading of the index that was on the meter into the ERT module assembly. For initial programming, hold the FC200SR approximately 1 foot away from the 100G. For reprogramming (30 days or more past initial programming), hold the FC200SR approximately 4 to 5 feet away from the 100G.
Installing the 100G ERT Module Attach the 100G ERT Module to the Meter After the endpoint has been programmed and is reading correctly, it must be attached to the meter. Follow the steps below to do this. To attach the 100G ERT Module to the meter 1. Turn the white wriggler so one of its four drive slots lines up with the drive dog. 2.
