Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module To install in lids with holes using the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-0771-011) 1. Insert the retainer clip into the pit lid hole with the convex surface on the top of the pit lid. 2. From the bottom side of the lid, screw on the threaded retainer clip collar until the beveled top rests against the pit lid. Note Ensure the beveled edge of the clip collar is toward the top of the pit lid. 3.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Optional Leak Sensor Installation This section describes installation of the Leak Sensor (LS) in a 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module system. The ERT module stores 20 days of LS data. On the 21st day, the ERT module begins to write over stored data in a first in, first out manner. The ERT module automatically detects the presence of connected LS devices. The ERT module will automatically detect the LS within 22.5 minutes and begin reading LS data.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Warning When the 100W/100W+ or 100WP/100WP+ is installed but the LS is not attached, you must protect the blue port with the universal environmental cap (MSC-0019-008). If you remove the LS from the ERT module, the environmental cap must be replaced to protect the connector. To connect the Leak Sensor to the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module Caution Verify you have the correct 100W/100W+ or 100WP/100WP+ ERT module.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 2. Remove the environmental cap from the Leak Sensor connector. Verify the connectors (the ERT module's LS connector and the Leak Sensor connector) are clean and dry. 3. Align the Leak Sensor connector with the ERT module's blue connector and insert. 4. Rotate the connector locking ring until the security holes align. Caution Do not force the connector ends together.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module To attach an Itron Security Seal through the connector security hole 1. Insert the pointed end of the security seal through the inline connector and the ERT module connector security holes. 2. Insert the pointed end of the security seal into the capped end and push until the seal locks. This completes the ERT module and Leak Sensor connections. Pipe Preparation Clean any dust or dirt from the pipe to facilitate direct contact with the LS surface.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 2. Verify the pipe’s mounting surface is free from dirt and debris. Place the curved surface of the LS against the pipe. 3. Insert the mounting U-bolt over the pipe and into the LS mounting holes. Caution Do not mount the Leak Sensor on a pipe coupler, joint, or nut.

Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 4. Insert the mounting plate over the U-bolt's threaded screw ends. Attach the two wing nuts over the clamp screw ends and tighten the wing nuts until snug (to a minimum of 5-inch pounds) to prevent device rotation on the pipe. After you tighten the second wing nut, check the Leak Sensor to verify the device is snug. If the sensor moves, tighten the wing nuts until there is no movement. Caution Do not tighten the Leak Sensor to more than 20 inch-pounds.

Place the curved surface of the LS against the pipe. Caution Do not mount the Leak Sensor on a pipe coupler, joint, or nut. 5. Insert the U-bolt around the pipe and into the holes in the plate/Leak Sensor assembly. Secure the U-bolt with the wing nuts.

CHAPTER 5 Optional Direct Connect Remote Antenna Installation The optional 900 MHz remote mount antenna provides increased RF range coverage for the listed mobile applications where the meters are located deep in a pit boxes. This section provides antenna mounting instructions through a pit lid and the instructions to connect the optional antenna to the ERT module. Caution Only remote antenna ERT modules can be used with the remote antenna.

Optional Direct Connect Remote Antenna Installation To install the remote antenna through a pit lid 1. Thread the remote antenna connector and cable through the pit lid hole. Verify the antenna's convex surface is on the top of the pit lid. (These instructions show a simulated pit lid material.) 2. Insert the antenna connector through the rectangular opening in the threaded collar. 3. Turn the threaded collar until it is tight against bottom of the pit lid.

Optional Direct Connect Remote Antenna Installation To connect the remote antenna to the ERT module 1. Align the connector pins with the top, red connector on the ERT module. The illustration shows a 3-port ERT module connection. 2. Push in the antenna connector to complete the connection. The illustration shows a two-port ERT module connection. 3. Turn the connector lock ring to the right to secure the connection. Caution Turn the connector lock-ring only. Do not twist the completed connection.
