TDC-0823-009 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 1 Proprietary and Confidential Itron 100G DLS gas ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the ERT module. The 100G gas ERT was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first 100G gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging gas ERT module was enhanced to offer higher transmit power with data logging capability (time-stamped hourly interval data) for both mobile and fixed network applications. Itron's 100G Datalogging Fixed Network (DLN) gas ERT module added improved network performance through a higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. Itron's 100G DLS gas ERT module continues a legacy of increased efficiency in messaging and adds network security. Transmission Modes The 100G DLS gas ERT module can be set to transmit in Fixed Network, Mobile and Handheld, or Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode.  Fixed Network Mode. The 100G DLS transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G DLS transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected battery life is 20 years.  Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G DLS transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm; expected battery life is 20 years.  Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G DLS transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.  (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G DLS transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements). An FCC license is not required to read 100G series gas ERT modules. CH A P T E R 1 About the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module

About the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module TDC-0823-009 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 2 Proprietary and Confidential 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Security The 100G DLS is a component of a ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system security applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications.  Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100G DLS is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form.  Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100G DLS supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100G DLS modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect security enabled, the utility can, at a later date, inject security key sets into the 100G DLS ERT modules. Enabling 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Security When 100G DLS ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a Utility Factory key. The presence of this Utility Factory key does not enable security. The installer must enable security by injecting keys into the 100G DLS using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the Utility Factory key. For more information, see the Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934) programming guide. 100G Series Gas ERT Specifications Functional Specifications Description Power Source 100G 100G Datalogging 100G Datalogging FN 100G DLS Two "A" cell lithium batteries One "A" cell lithium battery Tamper Detection Tilt tamper and magnetic tamper FCC Compliance Part 15 certified Industry Canada Compliance RSS-210 certified Intrinsically Safe per UL Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D Product Identification Numeric and bar coded ERT type and serial number Construction Materials Gray polycarbonate housing and back plate with encapsulated electronics

Elster American Meter Installation TDC-0823-009 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 19 Proprietary and Confidential To program the 100G DLS gas ERT module  Program the meter drive rate into the 100G DLS gas ERT module using the endpoint programming device.  For all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT.  Verify you have the correct programming mode (Fixed Network Mode, Mobile High Power Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming device. During programming, the 100G DLS gas ERT module is set to the nearest 100 cubic feet; the last two digits (tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). After programming is complete, the ERT assembly will read to the nearest cubic foot. Attaching the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Assembly to the Meter After programming the 100G DLS gas ERT module, attach the ERT assembly to the Elster American Meter. Warning For 5B Meters only: If you are installing the 100G DLS on a 5B-225 aluminum meter, cut 1/16-inch off each ERT wriggler post to prevent the wriggler from rubbing on the face of the nut holding the meter drive dog in place. Trimming the drive post may make the module incompatible with other 2-ft. drive meters. To attach the 100G DLS gas ERT module to the meter 1. Align the ERT wriggler to connect with the drive post (or slot) of the meter.  For one-foot meters: Align the ERT assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive post.

If there is a gap between the ERT module gasket and the meter, it may be the wriggler fin of the ERT module is dead headed against the meter drive dog. Remove the 100G DLS assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage the meter drive dog in the ERT module wriggler fin. 2. Place the 100G DLS on the meter. 3. Insert the right module mounting screw and tighten the screw until the gasket is against the meter. Do not completely tighten the mounting screw. Note Use the original mounting screws to mount the 100G DLS if they were the correct size and not corroded. If you discarded the original screws, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 12.)

Replace it with the extended drive dog included in the kit. Hand-tighten to snug. Warning The meter drive dog shaft is surrounded by a gasket. A gas leak could result if the gasket is damaged. Do not use a tool to install or tighten the new drive dog. Hand-tighten only. 3. Attach the adapter plate to the meter with the gasket against the meter face. Secure with the two adapter plate mounting screws in an alternating fashion. Tighten each adapter plate screw evenly.  Insert the right adapter plate screw and tighten the screw enough to hold it in place.  Install the left mounting screw and tighten to a snug fit.  Finish by tightening the right mounting screw to a snug fit. Note The 100G DLS must be assembled, programmed, and attached to the meter following the instructions in Assembling the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module and Index on page 30, Programming the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Assembly on page 18, and Attaching the 100G DLS Gas ERT Module to the Meter on page 33. Use the module mounting screws shipped with the Sprague 1A Adapter Plate Kit to mount the 100G DLS. Securing Brass Meter Tags to Flat-faced Meters Some older Sprague meters have metal index covers with brass meter tags attached (by screws or rivets) to metal index covers. Typically, brass meter tags have mounting (screw/rivet) holes on each end of the tag. Mount brass meter tags using one of three Itron-approved methods.
