Rotary Meter Installation
To program the 100G series remote gas module
•
•
•
Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series remote gas module using a handheld computer or Belt
Clip Radio and laptop computer.
For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as
close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target ERT module.
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 programming device. During
programming, the 100G series remote gas 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 module assembly will read
to the nearest cubic foot.
•
Read or Check the 100G series remote gas module using the handheld computer or Belt Clip Radio.
• If the read result is higher than the number programmed in step 1, the 100G series remote gas module
is counting correctly.
• If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in step 1, replace the 100G series remote
gas module.

Wiring Dual ERT Modules to a Honeywell Mercury Instrument
This section includes the information to wire dual ERT modules to a single Honeywell Instrument. Installation
requires the correct programming parameters (see Code Settings on page 35).
With Itron 100G series remote gas modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected consumption
values by installing two ERT modules. The ERT module for corrected reads is attached to the corrector's
pulse output. The ERT module for uncorrected reads is attached to the input switch board. The corrected
pulse output is programmable; the uncorrected pulse output is dependent on the connected meter's drive rate.
Important Some Honeywell Instruments have two pulse outputs so the uncorrected pulse output
could be connected to the additional output, but the connection should be to the input switch board
in case the corrector battery fails. Counts will be collected if the uncorrected pulse is connected to
the switch board since the board is not dependent on battery power.
Dual remote ERT modules mounted on a Honeywell Mercury Instrument
To install dual 100G Series Gas ERT Modules to a Honeywell Mercury Instrument Mini-Max
Case Volume Corrector using Honeywell Mercury Instrument Kit 22-1077
1. Place the Honeywell Mercury Instrument volume corrector in shutdown condition and disconnect all
power from the Mini-Max main board.
2. Remove the battery pack from the volume corrector and set it aside.
3. Remove the four screws from the main board and the board from the enclosure. Set the board aside.
4. Remove the two hex screws from the input switchboard and the switchboard from the enclosure and set it
aside. You will re-install the switchboard later.
Warning The battery pack, main board and switchboard may be damaged if left in the Honeywell
Mercury Instrument volume corrector while completing this installation.
5. Drill two 3/16-inch holes in the back of the Mini-Max enclosure as specified by the information included
in the kit. Remove any metal shavings from the enclosure.
6. Clean the remote 100G DLS modules with the alcohol wipe where you will place the Corrected and

Note Clean the 100G series remote gas modules with the alcohol wipe to ensure good label adhesion.
7. Mount the module for corrected pulse outputs on the left bracket mounting space. Insert three #8-32 x 1/2inch screws in a triangular pattern. Install the top screw so the head of the screw is approximately 1/8-inch
from the ERT mounting bracket surface. Slide the module onto the screw so the mounting lug fits securely
onto the screw. If necessary, remove the module and make any necessary adjustment to the screw depth to
ensure a secure fit. Install the two bottom screws in an alternating fashion.
8. Mount the module for uncorrected pulse outputs on the right bracket mounting space. Insert three #8-32 x
1/2-inch screws in a triangular pattern. Install the top screw so the head of the screw is approximately 1/8inch from the ERT mounting bracket surface. Slide the ERT module onto the screw so the mounting lug
fits securely onto the screw. If necessary, remove the module and make any necessary adjustment to the
screw depth to ensure a secure fit. Install the two bottom screws in an alternating fashion.
9. Route the module cables under the bracket edge and toward the rear of the Honeywell Instrument.
10. Mount the ERT mounting bracket (Honeywell Mercury Instrument part number 22-1077, included in the
kit) onto the Mini-Max enclosure. Place a #8 metal flat washer followed by a rubber sealing washer onto
both #8-32 x 3/8-inch screws. Align the lower threaded holes in the mounting bracket with the drilled
enclosure holes and insert a screw/washer through the enclosure housing. Screws heads must be inside the
enclosure. Tighten both screws using a screwdriver.
Note Aligning the second bracket threaded hole and drilled hole may require some manipulation of the
mounting bracket.
11. Insert the module cables (both units) through the large cable strain relief on the left rear of the instrument's
enclosure. Leave a one-half to one inch drip loop under the cable strain relief.
12. Secure three cable ties on the module cables in three places on the cables as specified by information
included in the kit.
13. Re-install the input switchboard, main board, and battery pack removed in step 2.

Wiring the Remote ERT Module to the Honeywell Mercury TCI
The Honeywell Mercury Instruments Temperature Compensating Index (TCI) provides two Form-A volume
pulse outputs and one Form-B alarm output. These outputs are electronic switches. The Form-A pulse outputs
are configurable for compensated or uncompensated volume. The Form-B output is for alarm output use only.
Connections to the three output pulse channels are completed using the lead wires (the individual wires from a
cable) and gel-connectors. The TCI unit has six lead wires and six gel-connectors (Itron part number CON0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Lead wires are located inside the gray adapter
plate behind the black strain relief fitting.

To make TCI pulse connections
Note Connect one ERT module/channel to the alarm output if the modules are used on channels A and B.
1. Remove strain relief fitting by unscrewing from the gray adapter plate.
Note Do not remove the fitting's hex nut. Unscrew the entire fitting from the gray adapter plate. A tether
line is secured to the strain relief fitting. When the strain relief fitting is removed, the tether line pulls the
lead wires out of the adapter plate for access to the lead wires.
2. Loosen the strain relief fitting hex nut and remove the white plug from the center.
3. Place the strain relief fitting onto the field pulse cable.
4. If the field pulse cable is smaller than a 0.2-inch diameter, install the rubber tube supplied with the TCI
onto the cable so the strain relief will clamp onto the tube after it is reinstalled.
5. Connect the individual external pulse cable conductors to the lead wires following Configuration for two
ERT modules connected to one TCI. Insert one lead wire into an opening of a gel-connector (six gelconnectors were included with the TCI). Insert the appropriate field cable wire into the other gelconnector opening.

6. Verify both wires are fully inserted into the gel-connector prior to crimping.
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. 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.
7. Insert the gel-connected wires into the threaded gray adapter plate hole.
8. Replace the strain relief and tighten until secure.
Connecting the Remote Module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable
You can ship the Itron 100G series remote gas module directly to GE Dresser for a factory-installed cable. If
you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from GE Dresser, complete the
following cable installation procedure.
Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible with the IMC/W2 or MC2
receptacle. GE Dresser cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If
necessary, contact GE Dresser for wiring diagrams for your specific application.

Electronic Instrument Installation
To connect the remote module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 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 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. 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.
