Electronic Instrument Installation TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount 38 Proprietary and Confidential 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.

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 CON-0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Lead wires are located inside the gray adapter plate behind the black strain relief fitting.

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 gel-connectors were included with the TCI). Insert the appropriate field cable wire into the other gel-connector opening.

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 TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount 43 Proprietary and Confidential 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.
