Electronic Instrument Installation To wire the 100G series remote gas module to the Honeywell Instrument 1. Insert the ERT module cable into the instrument's compression connector. 2. Strip one inch of the outer insulation from the 100G series remote gas module. Caution Keep wires away from the rotating magnetic spindle in the Honeywell Instrument. 3. Strip 1/4-inch individual wire insulation from the red, white, and blue lead wires.
Electronic Instrument Installation 4. Twist the blue and white wires together and connect them to the Honeywell Instrument terminal strip connector (Phoenix connector) following the Honeywell Instrument Item Code Settings on page 43 Table. 5. Connect the red wire following the Item Code Settings on page 43 Table. Note In Honeywell Instrument EC-AT correctors, the connector may be soldered to the pulse board. 6. See Mounting the 100G series remote gas module on page 9 for module mounting instructions.
Electronic Instrument Installation To install dual 100G Series Gas ERT Modules to a Honeywell Instrument Mini-Max Case Volume Corrector using Honeywell Kit 22-1077 1. Place the Honeywell Instrument volume corrector in shutdown condition and disconnect all power from the Mini-Max main board. 2. Remove the battery pack from the volume corrector and set it aside. 3. Remove the four screws from the main board and the board from the enclosure. Set the board aside. 4.
Electronic Instrument Installation 14. Connect the corrected module wires to TB1 on the Mini-Max board following the table below. Use Honeywell upgrade kit 40-2678-1 to provide the second pulse output channel for the uncorrected endpoint. Corrected ERT Module Connections ERT Module Mini-Max TB1 Red wire K terminal Blue wire* Ya terminal White wire* Ya terminal *Twist the blue and white endpoint wires together before connecting to the Mini-Max board. Tighten terminal connections securely. 15.
Electronic Instrument Installation Connections to the three output pulse channels are completed using loose unterminated wires (the individual wires from a cable) and gel-connectors. The TCI unit has six unterminated wires and six gel-connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Loose wires are located inside the gray adapter plate behind the black strain relief fitting.
Electronic Instrument Installation 4. If the field pulse cable is smaller than a 0.2-inch diameter, install the rubber tube supplied with the TCI onto the cable so the strain relief will clamp onto the tube after it is reinstalled. 5. Connect the individual external pulse cable conductors to the unterminated wires following Configuration for two ERT modules connected to one TCI. Insert one unterminated wire into an opening of a gelconnector (six gel-connectors were included with the TCI).
Electronic Instrument Installation 7. Insert the gel-connected wires into the threaded gray adapter plate hole. 8. Replace the strain relief and tighten until secure. Honeywell Software Settings The Honeywell MasterLink SQL software is used to configure Honeywell products. Important This information is subject to change without notice.
Electronic Instrument Installation 4. The status indicator in the lower left corner of the MasterLink SQL software displays the connection status as Connected (instrument type). 5. To view an Item configuration, select Display > Items by Number. Important Refer to the Itron 100G Series Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 4 for the required Honeywell Instrument settings. 6. Verify the Honeywell instrument settings are correct. For example, Item number 56 must be set to 2.0.
Electronic Instrument Installation 8. Confirm all settings match the settings required for the ERT module connected to the Honeywell Instrument. For more information, 100G Series Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 4. Connecting the Remote Mount ERT to the IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable You can ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable.
Electronic Instrument Installation 3. GE Dresser 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 side-cutter pliers. The cable tie performs as a cable strain relief to mitigate the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires. 4.
Electronic Instrument Installation Important GE Dresser mounting bracket kit does not include the cable required to connect the 100G series remote gas module to the Amphenal connector on the IMC\W2. GE Dresser Accessories Description GE Dresser Part Number 9" A-B male cable 054983-012 9" D-E male cable 054983-010 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.
Electronic 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 series remote gas 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 Instrument Installation 2. For the cable gland or conduit fitting: a. Route the cable from the 100G series remote gas 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). To receive corrected reads: connect the red wire to the GND 2/3 (ground) TB3 telemetry output position (C).

CHAPTER 5 Diaphragm Meter Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install 100G series remote gas modules (Itron part number ERG500X-501 with 2.5 foot cable and encoder) on diaphragm gas meters where a direct mount ERT module is not possible. Reference the Itron 100G Series Remote ERT Module Meter Compatibility List on page 4 for compatible diaphragm meters.
Diaphragm Meter Installation Materials Available from Itron The following items are required for each 100G series remote gas module installation to a diaphragm gas meter: Itron Part Number Description ERG-500X-501 100G Remote ERT Module with 2.
Diaphragm Meter Installation Installing the 100G Series Gas ERT Module The 100G series remote gas module mounts on a pipe using the Pipe Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG0005-003) or a vertical flat (wall) surface. Always mount the 100G series remote gas 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 To remove the index Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. Replace any stripped, worn, or corroded mounting screws. 1. Cut and remove any wire seal routed through the index cover screws. Remove the index cover and set aside. Remove the index mounting screws in an alternating fashion. 2. Remove the two index screws in an alternating fashion.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 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. Note If there is no magnet or if there are two magnets in the magnet hub, discard the magnet hub and use a hub with one magnet. 2. Briefly place the magnet side of the magnet hub into the curved indentation in the encoder, as shown. 3.
Diaphragm Meter Installation 7. Align the pointer (1) on the top of the magnet hub and the notch (2) in the side of the magnet hub with the needle (3) of the meter drive rate dial. 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.
