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.

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.

Caution You must program the 100G DLS gas ERT module before use.
The ERT is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower
dial on the index. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-cubic foot, 2-cubic feet or 0.05 cubic
meters (not shown below).
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.
Elster American Meter Installation
TDC-0823-009 100G DLS Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 20
Proprietary and Confidential
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 DLS 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 DLS assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage
ERT module wriggler in the meter drive dog.
2. Carefully align the ERT's four screw holes with the holes on the meter. Attach using the original mounting
screws if they are the correct size and are not corroded (1/4 - 20 x 5/8-inch screws.) If you discarded the
original screws, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites). Tighten in an
alternating, diagonal pattern as shown in the photo:
Insert first screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after the screw contacts the meter connection.
Insert the second screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Insert the third screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Insert the last screw and tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact with the meter connection.
Return to the first screw and tighten. Continue with the second, third and last screw until all screws are
tight. Use equal screw tension to tighten each screw.

3. Align the index wriggler (1) with the ERT drive post (2). Carefully slide the index onto the mounting
screws.
4. Verify the 100G DLS housing drive post makes positive engagement with the index wriggler.
Warning Indexes have varying drive mechanism styles. Failure to align the ERT wriggler 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 housing, 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.
Warning Verify the index is correctly positioned all the way to the right on the index mounting screws
before you tighten the index mounting screws. Failure to properly mount the index on the index mounting
screws may cause binding and meter failure.

The ERT is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower
dial on the index. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-cubic foot, 2-cubic feet or 0.05 cubic
meters (not shown below).
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 you program the 100G DLS gas ERT module, attach it to the Itron meter.

To attach the 100G DLS gas ERT module to the meter
1. Align the ERT so one of its four drive fins (1) lines up with the meter drive dog (2).
Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and ERT module wriggler's fin 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 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.

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 12).
