CHAPTER 2 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules are high-power radio frequency automatic meter reading (AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data the ERT module then transmits to a data collection device. The ERT module operates in both bubble-up mode and twoway mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules ship in factory mode.
About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Communication Error Indicators. • Last Good Read (LGR Flag) Indicates a communication error with the register. • 100W/100W+ encoder ERT module If this flag is set for 24 consecutive hours, it initiates a cut cable flag in the extended tampers. The LGR Flag automatically clears after the ERT module receives a successful read from the register.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Required Tools and Hardware • • • • • Hammer 1/2-inch outside diameter rod (you may use either a square or round rod) Tape measure Rod-driving tool (optional) Rod cutting tool The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module bottom and side views. To install the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module on a rod 1. Remove the pit lid.
Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the pit lid. • If you cannot drive the rod in enough to equal the necessary spacing, cut the remaining rod length to the proper height using an abrasive cut-off tool. Caution Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-off tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles.
Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 7. Installation is complete when the ERT module is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. The ERT module must not contact the pit structure or lid. Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the ERT module when the lid is replaced. There must be a 1 to 2-inch space between the top of the ERT module and the bottom of the pit lid. If the ERT module is installed too high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust as necessary.
Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module To install the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module using the wall mount procedure 1. Select a vertical surface in the pit box or on a wall (for example, an ERT module mounted in a basement). 2. Position the ERT module vertically so the top of the ERT module is between 1 and 2-inches below the bottom of the lid. 3. Mark the location of the top mounting hole. 4. Drill a pilot hole in the pit box wall.
