CHAPTER 1
About the 100G Gas ERT Module
Itron 100G series 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 generation 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 series gas ERT module brings increased efficiency in SCM+ messaging and adds enhanced network
security. SCM+ messages expand the data fields within our standard consumption message to offer added
value. The enhancement of secure communications provides greater protection for bubble-up and two-way
messaging to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to the system.
The 100G DLT Datalogging gas ERT module (100G DLT) is a hybrid in the Itron line of 100 Series radio
frequency (RF) gas meter modules. The 100G DLT combines the circuit board hardware of the 100G DLS
module with the SCM messaging used in the 100G DLN module. This allows utilities currently using the
SCM messaging in the 100G DLN can upgrade to the 100G DLT without the upgrades required for
programming, enhanced security, or meter reading. The 100G DLT does not offer the optional ISM enhanced
security capability or extended tamper information available in the 100G DLS.
Transmission Modes
The 100G series 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 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 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 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 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).

About the 100G Gas ERT Module
•
Itron Cellular Solutions (ICS) Mode. The 100G DLS module is compatible with the Itron Cellular
Solution and can be programmed for optimum operation with FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced. In ICS
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 transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected
battery life is 20 years.
Note ICS mode is for fixed network application only. ICS is optimized to work with the ICS
communications module in Itron’s electric meter. The 100G DLS must be in a full security mode to work
with ICS. This is not part of the ICS mode, but is a system level requirement.
An FCC license is not required to read 100G series gas ERT modules.
100G DLS ERT Module and Itron Security Manager
The 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system
enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the
handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the
100G DLS module only.
There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure system
communication confidentiality and validity.
•
•
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 enhanced security enabled (ready to secure), the utility can—at a later date—configure the
ERT modules for ISM enhanced security.
Note Enabling or working with Itron ISM enhanced security requires FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced.
Enabling 100G DLS ERT Module Security
When 100G DLS ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains utility factory keys. The
presence of these utility factory keys does not enable the enhanced security; the installer enables the enhanced
100G DLS security at the time the ERT module is deployed or at a later time using an Itron programming
device, Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced, and programming commands. Initial key
exchange commands are secured using the utility factory keys. For more information about programming the
100G DLS ERT module for security, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934).

About the 100G Gas ERT Module
Installation Overview
Installing the 100G series gas ERT module on a meter involves four tasks:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Removing the index cover and index from the meter.
Assembling the 100G and index.
Programming the 100G assembly.
Attaching the 100G to the meter.
Warning ERT modules contain sensitive electronic components which can be damaged if
the module is dropped from heights greater than 36 inches. Product warranty coverage is
contingent on not exceeding this drop height limitation.

CHAPTER 2
Elster American Meter Installation
This chapter provides the instructions to install the ERT module on an Elster American Meter.
Removing the Meter Index
Begin the module installation by removing the index cover and index from the meter.
To remove the index from the meter
1. Remove the four index cover screws and the index cover from the Elster American meter. Alternate screw
removal following the numbered pattern in the photo.
2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8-inch long and not corroded, keep them to install the 100G
assembly to the meter. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard.
Note You may use the removed index cover as a temporary storage container for screws. Properly
dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials.

21
Elster American Meter Installation
To program the ERT module assembly
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series gas ERT module using the endpoint programming
device.
2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as
possible. For optimal results, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT module.
3. 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.
4. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming
device. During programming, the 100G 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 module assembly will read
to the nearest cubic foot.
Attaching the 100G ERT Module Assembly to the Meter
After you program the 100G, attach the ERT module assembly to the Elster American meter.
Warning For 5B-225 aluminum meters only: 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 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.
For two-foot meters: Align the ERT assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive slot. The pin
on the ERT wriggler may be installed inside or outside the meter drive slot. For easy assembly, Itron
recommends installing the pin on the 100G wriggler outside the meter drive slot.
Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and ERT module drive slot can cause binding
and lead to poor registration or meter failure. If there is a gap between the ERT module gasket and the
meter, it may be the drive slot of the ERT module assembly's wriggler is not correctly aligned with the
meter drive slot. Remove the 100G assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage the
ERT module wriggler with the meter drive dog.

the meter.
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.
To secure brass meter tags to flat-faced meters
Method 1 and 2
1. Carefully remove the brass meter tag from the meter index cover. Try not to damage the meter tag
mounting holes.

2. Attach the 100G assembly to the meter. The Sprague adapter plate has tag mounting holes in the lower left
and right corners. Secure the meter tag to one of the holes with a utility-approved and provided security
seal.
Method 1: Attach the meter tag to the adapter plate tag mounting hole
Method 2: Attach the meter tag to the 100G mounting hole
Note If the brass meter tag will be secured to the meter utilizing the ERT-to-meter mounting hole, it must
be attached during the 100G series gas ERT module installation procedure described in Step 1 of
Attaching the ERT Module Assembly on the Meter on page 35.
Caution A protruding brass meter tag can present a safety concern particularly if the tag is damaged with
sharp edges protruding from the meter.
Method 3
1. Remove the 100G index cover.
2. Place the meter tag inside the ERT assembly for optimal meter tag security. (See To assemble the ERT
module and index on page 32.)
Method 3: Place the brass meter tag inside the ERT module assembly

Attaching the ERT Module Assembly to a Sprague 175RM
Meters
This section provides the information to attach the 100G to a Sprague 175RM meter.
Removing the Meter Index
Begin the module installation by removing the index cover and index from the meter.
To remove the index from the meter
1. Remove the index cover mounting screws and the index cover from the Sprague 175RM meter. Discard
the index cover and index cover mounting screws.
Note The removed index cover may be used as a temporary refuse container for screws. Properly dispose
the index cover and all unused screws, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials. Do not leave
materials on customer premises.
2. Loosen the index mounting screws 1/2 to one turn. Slide the index up and off the mounting screws and
remove it from the meter. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow.
You will mount the index in the module later in this procedure. Remove the index mounting screws from
the meter. Verify the index mounting screws are 1/4-inch long and not corroded. If the screws are the
correct length and not corroded, retain for later use. If the original screws are discarded, use the correct
replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 14).

3. Remove the old gasket, gasket residue, and dirt from the meter (if applicable). The meter face must be free
of gasket residue or dirt before you install the 100G.
Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover
materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises.
Assembling the Gas ERT Module and Index
Continue ERT module installation by assembling the ERT module and index.
To assemble the 100G series gas ERT module and index
1. Separate the ERT module housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing. Set
the module cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt or snow. The cover is used later
in this installation procedure.
2. Screw the index mounting screws into the index mounting posts loosely (one to two turns). Do not tighten
the screws.

3. Align the index wriggler (1) with the ERT module drive post (shaft, 2).
4. Carefully slide the index onto the mounting screws. Verify the 100G housing drive post makes positive
engagement with the index wriggler.
Caution Indexes have varying drive mechanism styles. Failure to align the ERT shaft with the index
drive post can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter failure. To verify proper engagement of
the index to the ERT shaft, spin the wriggler one clockwise rotation, then one-counterclockwise rotation.
Do not spin the wriggler more than one complete rotation. The wriggler should spin freely, with little or
no resistance.
5. Hold the index in place and tighten the index mounting screws.
6. Slide the ERT module cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The label
should be clearly visible and easily read.

Itron Meter Installation
The ERT module is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on
the drive dial on the index. The ERT module is programmed based on the drive rate. Sprague meter index
drive rates are typically 2-cubic feet.
To program the ERT module assembly
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series gas ERT module using the endpoint programming
device.
2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as
possible. For optimal results, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT module.
3. 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.
4. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming
device. During programming, the 100G 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 module assembly will read
to the nearest cubic foot.
Installing the 100G Gas ERT Module Assembly on the Sprague 175RM
