3. Dresser ROOTS IMC/W2 and MC2 cables are typically delivered with a cable tie installed. If the meter
cable does not include a cable tie, install a tie to the cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the
cable insulation. Remove the excess cable tie using a hand-held sidecutter pliers. The cable tie performs as
a cable strain relief to mitigate the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires.
4. Tuck the three gel connectors and cable tie inside the endpoint housing, as shown. Position the cable tie as
shown by the arrow.
5. Install the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module backplate using the four screws previously removed
from the ERT module and a Torx T-15 screwdriver.
Important Verify the cable tie and gel connectors are inside the module housing and the cable extends
out of the slot in the backplate. Torque the backplate mounting screws to 9-12 inch-pounds.

4. Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting holes on the back of the IMC\W2.
Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
• 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the
antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can
greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading.
• 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to
maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability.
• 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module batteries must be vertical (installed with the positive
terminal upward) or battery life is compromised.
5. Secure the endpoint/bracket assembly on the IMC\W2 using four endpoint/mounting bracket screws (M6
x 20 mm).
6. There are two options to connect the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module to Dresser ROOTS to the
IMC\W2:
1. For the Amphenol connector: plug the connector from the Itron ERT module to the IMC\W2 volume
input connector.

2. For the cable gland or conduit fitting:
a. Route the cable from the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module through the IMC\W2 cable
gland/conduit connector.
To receive uncorrected reads: connect the red wire to the terminal block 3 (TB3 telemetry output)
GND1 (ground) position (B). Connect the white and blue wires to the pulse output 1 position (A).
To receive corrected reads: connect the red wire to the GND 2/3 (ground) TB3 telemetry output position
(C). Connect the white and blue wires to the pulse output 2 position.
b. Tighten the cable gland fitting around the cable. Apply 15 inch-pounds torque.
Note 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT modules using the flying lead cable assembly (Dresser ROOTS®
part number 055018-700) are factory wired to terminal block 3 (TB3) according to IMC\W2 pulse output
default configuration. Consult the customer specification for other wiring configurations.
To test the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module IMC\W2 installation
1. Connect the IMC\W2 to the PC using the serial cable.
2. Using the Dresser ROOTS® User Terminal (UT) communications software, connect to the IMC\W2.
3. Read the uncorrected or corrected count number on the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module with
the Itron endpoint reading device. Compare the IMC\W2 uncorrected or corrected amounts to the 100G
Datalogging FN remote ERT module
4. Input approximately 20 pulses to the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module. Verify the uncorrected
or corrected counts on the IMC\W2 and the Datalogging FN remote ERT module are the same.

Diaphragm Meter Installation
Installing 100G Datalogging FN Remote ERT Module Encoders
Caution To insure proper adhesion, the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module encoder
must be installed at temperatures between 40° to 95° Fahrenheit.
There are four tasks when installing the Datalogging FN remote ERT module with an encoder on a
diaphragm meter:
1.
Remove the index cover and any gasket residue.
2.
Install the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module encoder on the index.
3.
Program the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module.
4.
Attach the index cover to the meter.
To remove the index
Note Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover
materials. Do not leave materials on customer premises. Replace any stripped, worn, or corroded
mounting screws.
1. Cut and remove any wire seal routed through the index cover screws. Remove the index cover and set
aside. Remove the index mounting screws in an alternating fashion.
2. Remove the two index screws in an alternating fashion. Loosen the left index screw two turns, loosen the
index screw three to four turns. Hold the index while removing the screws to keep the index from falling.
Set the index aside where it will not be damaged.

Diaphragm Meter Installation
3. Remove the old gasket and any gasket residue from the meter and the index cover.
4. Use the FC200 or FC300 to read the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module. Record the reading for
comparison with progressive readings as installation is completed.
To install the encoder
1. Remove the magnet hub from the Encoder Installation kit ( Itron part number CFG-0081-001). Verify
there is only one magnet in the hub.
Note If there is no magnet or if there are two magnets in the magnet hub, discard the magnet hub and use
a hub with one magnet.
2. Briefly place the magnet side of the magnet hub into the curved indentation in the encoder, as shown.
3. Remove the magnet hub from the encoder and set it at least one inch away from the encoder.
4. Use the endpoint programming device to read the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT module. If this
reading is higher than the reading taken after removing the index, the ERT module is counting and
working properly.
Note If the reading is not higher than the previous reading, the 100G Datalogging FN remote ERT
module is not reading. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. If the ERT module is still not counting, replace the 100G
Datalogging FN remote ERT module and perform steps 3, 4, and 5.

close as possible to the magnet hub with a sharp, side-cutting pliers.
10. Remove the acetone stick applicator from the Remote Encoder Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG0081-001).
11. Select a location on the index face next to the magnet hub. After encoder installation, the encoder cable
must not interfere with the index dials.
Note If a TEMP COMP sticker is attached to the index where the encoder cable will mount, remove it
before cleaning with the acetone stick. If the sticker (or replacement sticker) must be put back on the
register face, place it in a new location on the index face after the encoder is attached.
12. Tilt the acetone stick vertically with the wick end down. Squeeze the acetone stick on the black dot until
the packet inside the pen breaks. Continue to hold the acetone stick vertical until the acetone wicks into
the foam applicator end.
