TDC-0838-001 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide - Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 41 Electronic Instrument Installation Wiring Dual Modules to a Mercury Instrument This section includes the information to wire dual endpoints to a single Mercury Instrument. Installation requires the correct programming parameters (see Code Settings on page 38). With Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas modules, utilities can receive corrected and uncorrected consumption values by installing two modules. The module for corrected reads is attached to the instrument's pulse output. The 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 Mercury 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 instrument 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.

Wiring the Remote Module to the Mercury TCI The 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 first two pulse outputs are configurable for compensated or uncompensated volume. The third output (Form-B) is for alarm output use only. TDC-0838-001 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide - Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 44 Electronic Instrument Installation Connections to the three output pulse channels are completed using loose unterminated wires (the individual wires from a cable) and gel-connectors. The TCI unit has six unterminated wires and six gel-connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) to enable pulse connections to ancillary devices. Loose wires are located inside the gray adapter plate behind the black strain relief fitting. Adapter plate with black strain relief Loose cable wires The three switch contacts on the TCI PC board are MOSFET output type opto-isolators that provide high voltage isolation between the sensitive processor components of the TCI board and the outside world.

Remove strain relief fitting by unscrewing from the gray adapter plate. Note Do not remove the fitting's hex nut. Un-screw 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 unterminated wires out of the adapter plate for access to the loose 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. TDC-0838-001 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide - Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 46 Electronic Instrument Installation 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 re-installed. 5. Connect the individual external pulse cable conductors to the un-terminated wires following Configuration for two endpoints connected to one TCI at the beginning of these instructions. Insert one un-terminated 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. 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. 7. Insert the gel-connected wires into the threaded gray adapter plate hole. 8. Replace the strain relief and tighten until secure. TDC-0838-001 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide - Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 47 Electronic Instrument Installation Connecting the OpenWay Remote Mount Gas Module to the Dresser ROOTS IMC/W2 or MC2 Cable ® You may ship the Itron 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module directly to Dresser ROOTS® Meters for a factory-installed cable. If you connect the module to the meter using an existing cable purchased from Dresser ROOTS®, complete the following cable installation procedure. Caution The purchased cable must have a mating connector compatible with the IMC/W2 or MC2 receptacle. Dresser ROOTS® cables may be wired in different configurations for specific applications. If necessary, contact Dresser ROOTS® Meters for wiring diagrams for your specific application. To connect the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module to the IMC/W2 or MC2 cable 1. Remove the backplate (4 screws) from the 2.4GZ remote module and expose the endpoint lead wires. The backplate and screws will be re-installed on the endpoint module later in this procedure so store them (temporarily) in a safe, secure place. TDC-0838-001 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module Installation Guide - Remote Mount Proprietary and Confidential 48 Electronic Instrument Installation 2. Insert the lead wires from the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module into new 3M gel connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) 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.

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 in the position schematic below. 5. Install the 2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas module backplate using the four screws previously removed from the endpoint and a Torx T-15 screwdriver. Important Verify the cable tie and gel connectors are inside the endpoint housing and the cable extends out of the slot in the backplate. Torque the backplate mounting screws to 9-12 inch-pounds.
