Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module
Mounting the Remote Gas Module on a Wall or Other Flat
Vertical Surface
1. Using one of the three 1-1/2-inch mounting screws from the Remote Mount Installation Kit, turn the
mounting screw for the mounting lug (top of module) part way into the mounting surface.
2. Place the 100G series remote gas module mounting lug recess (on the top of the module backplate) just
under the screw head.
3. Slide the module upward until the screw head fits completely inside the mounting lug recess. Several
adjustments may be necessary to properly position the screw for module mounting.
4. Install the bottom two mounting screws. Fasten the screws in an alternating pattern until fully tightened to
secure the module firmly in position.
Note For easier installation, drill three pilot holes in the mounting surface (use the correct size drill bit to
accommodate the module mounting screws [see the drilling template below]). The drilled pilot holes for
the two bottom screws must be on a horizontal line. To mount the module on a sheet metal surface, use
the mounting screws included with the Remote Mounting kit. Use a comparable wood screw to mount the
module on a vertical wood surface.

Rotary Meter Installation
To connect the remote module to the rotary meter cable
1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the remote module and expose the module lead wires. The
backplate and screws will be re-installed on the remote module later in this procedure so store them
(temporarily) in a safe, secure place.
2. Insert the lead wires from the remote module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023001) together with the same colored lead wire from the meter cable (see the wiring table below) and crimp
using a 3M hand-held crimping tool.

Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping
gel-connects. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply
pressure for three seconds until the gel cap is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity
silicone-based gel to flow (3). If the silicone gel flows out of the crimped connector, avoid touching the
gel. Gel flowing from the connector provides environmental protection for the connection.
Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire in the gel connector.

Rotary Meter Installation
3. After completing the wiring connections, install a cable tie to the meter 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 module housing, as shown in the following
placement schematic illustration.
5. Install the remote 100G DLS module backplate using the four screws previously removed from the
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 to 12 inch-pounds.
6. Install the remote module on the wall or a pipe using the Remote Mount Kit (Itron part number CFG0005-003). For mounting instructions, see Mounting the 100G Series Gas ERT Module.
