Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation 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.
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation Installing the ERT Module to the Dresser ROOTS® Micro Corrector (IMC/W2 or MC2) Dresser ROOTS® Meters and Instruments offer a mounting bracket kit assembly to direct mount Itron's 100G Datalogging FN ERT module to the IMC/W2.
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation To attach the ERT module to the IMC\W2 and MC2 1. Insert the 8-32 x 7/16-inch screw (A) into the top of the mounting bracket. Insert the two 8-32 x 3/4-inch screws (B) into the bottom of the mounting bracket. 2. Insert one 3/32-inch nut on the top 7/16-inch bracket screw (A). Slide the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module mounting lug over the top of the bracket screw and nut. 3.
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation 4. Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting holes on the back of the IMC\W2. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because: • 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT 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.
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation 2. For the cable gland or conduit fitting: a. Route the cable from the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module through the IMC\W2 cable gland/conduit connector. To receive uncorrected reads: connect the red wire to the terminal block 3 (TB3 telemetry output) GND1 (ground) position (B). Connect the white and blue wires to the pulse output 1 position (A).
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation Programming the 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module Caution You must program the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module before use. Follow the steps in this section to properly program the ERT module. Program the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT modules using: A FC200SR handheld computer with Endpoint-Link® or Endpoint-Link Pro version 5.3 or higher or Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 1.
Electronic Volume Corrector and Instrument Installation To program the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module using a handheld computer or Belt Clip Radio and laptop computer. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target ERT module.
CHAPTER 5 Diaphragm Meter Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install Remote 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT modules (Itron part number ERG-5003-501 with 2.5 foot cable and encoder) on the diaphragm gas meters where a direct mount endpoint is not possible. Reference the Itron Gas Endpoint Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0117-002 or the 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 3 for compatible diaphragm meters.
Diaphragm Meter Installation Materials Available from Itron The following items are required for each 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module installation to a diaphragm gas meter: Itron Part Number Description ERG-5003-501 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module with 2.
Diaphragm Meter Installation Installing the 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module The 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module mounts on a pipe using the Remote Mount Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-0005-003) or a vertical flat (wall) surface. Always mount the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module with the printed label right-side-up (arrow pointing up -1), and the encoder wires (2) and tamper seals (3) at the bottom, as shown.
Diaphragm Meter Installation Installing 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module Encoders Caution To insure proper adhesion, the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module encoder must be installed at temperatures between 40° to 95° Fahrenheit. There are four tasks when installing the Datalogging FN remote ERT module with an encoder on a diaphragm meter: 1. Remove the index cover and any gasket residue. 2. Install the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module encoder on the index. 3.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 3. Remove the old gasket and any gasket residue from the meter and the index cover. 4. Use the FC200 or FC300 to read the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module. Record the reading for comparison with progressive readings as installation is completed. To install the encoder 1. Remove the magnet hub from the Encoder Installation kit ( Itron part number CFG-0081-001). Verify there is only one magnet in the hub.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 5. Align the large notch in the side of the magnet hub spacer with the needle of the meter drive rate dial (1foot or 2-foot for residential diaphragm meters; 5-, 10-, or 100-foot for commercial diaphragm meters). 6. Press the magnet hub spacer down over the dial needle as far as possible. The tip on the bottom of the spacer may touch index face.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 8. Press the magnet hub down over the hub spacer as far as possible. The bottom of the hub spacer may touch the index face. Turn the dial after magnet hub installation to verify the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. 9. If the tip of the dial needle sticks out past the edge of the magnet hub, cut off the end of the dial needle as close as possible to the magnet hub with a sharp, side-cutting pliers. 10.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 13. Thoroughly apply acetone to the area where you will install the encoder. Do not touch the cleaned area of the index face before the encoder is installed. 14. Slide the thin end of the encoder spacing tool down over the magnet hub. 15. Peel the strip of protective plastic off the adhesive side of the module's encoder. Important You must do the next two steps exactly as described or the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module will not work properly. 16.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 17. Slide the encoder down along the side of the encoder spacing tool until it touches the surface of the index (as shown below). Using moderate pressure, hold the encoder firmly against the index, without moving, for 15 seconds to permanently apply the encoder. The photo below shows how the encoder spacing tool and encoder will look after the 15 second wait time. 18.
Diaphragm Meter Installation To install the meter index covers over the ERT module encoder cable 1. Remove the gasket center and index cover hole plugs from the new gasket. 2. Insert the index/encoder assembly through the gasket center. Verify the gasket's adhesive-backed side is facing the meter face. 3. Align the index wriggler with the meter's drive dog. Install the index on the meter using the index mounting screws. Tighten one index screw two turns. Install and tighten the remaining index screw.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 5. Remove the excess cable tie with a side-cutting pliers. Dispose excess cable tie properly. 6. Remove the protective backing on the replacement gasket to expose the adhesive side of the gasket. Align the gasket (1), encoder cable (2), and cable tie (for strain-relief) (3) on the meter as shown. Caution Route the encoder cable inside the index cover to provide strain relief (minimize pulling or twisting on the encoder).
Diaphragm Meter Installation 8. Verify the encoder cable is in the cable slot of the gasket. Fully tighten the screws in an alternating fashion. If required, install utility-approved security wire seals. 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module encoder/index installation is complete.
