National (Lancaster) Meter Installation
2. Set the ERT module cover aside where it will not be damaged or fill with rain, dirt, or snow. You will use
the cover later in this installation procedure.
Caution Use only dial-type indexes from National, Actaris, Schlumberger, or Sprague meters with the
500G ERT module.
Indexes with bow-tie shaped wrigglers are not compatible with the 500G ERT module. You must use a
compatible index.
Note National (Lancaster) meter indexes are available in different models:
Indexes with legs
Indexes with mounting holes
Some National meter indexes have index legs to mount the index on the meter or ERT module. Some
indexes have both legs and index mounting holes and some have just mounting holes. Mounting methods
are dependent on the index. Index types require different mounting screws to attach the index to the 500G
ERT module housing (see Installation Prerequisites on page 7). Indexes with legs must be mounted to the
ERT module housing mounting posts (1). Indexes with mounting holes must be attached to the ERT
module housing's bracket mounting posts (2).
If your index has legs with mounting screw slots, skip steps 3 and 4. If your index has mounting screw
holes in the index back plate (no legs), perform steps 3 and 4, and skip steps 5 and 6.
3. For indexes with mounting screw holes in the index back plate (no legs), use the replacement index
mounting screws (SCR-0037-001, see Installation Prerequisites on page 7). Place one screw into the
index's right-hand mounting screw hole.
Note National index mounting screws are thread-forming screws and may require more torque.

4. Attach the screw to the ERT module housing's right-index mounting post just enough to hold the screw
and the right end of the index in place.
5. For indexes with legs (mounting slots), screw one 10 - 20 x 3/8-inch screw (SCR-0017-001, see
Installation Prerequisites for screw information) into the right index mounting post one or two turns. Do
not completely tighten the screw.
6. Place the right index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not completely tighten the screw.
7. Carefully slide the index drive post into the ERT module shaft slot. Verify positive engagement of the
index wriggler to the ERT module shaft. (The following illustrations show index to shaft placement with
positive engagement.)
Warning Verify the index drive slot engages with the 500G ERT module shaft. Failure to mate the ERT
module shaft with the index drive post (or slot) can cause binding and lead to poor registration or meter
failure.
8. Install and tighten the left index mounting screw (for indexes with either mounting screw slots or holes).
Tighten the right index mounting screw. Tighten each index mounting screw evenly.
Warning Slide indexes with mounting screw slots all the way to the right. Verify the ERT module shaft
is aligned with the index drive post. Hold the index tightly in place while you secure the index mounting
screws.
9. Slide the ERT module cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The ERT
module label should be clearly visible and easily read.

To program the ERT module assembly
1. Program the meter drive rate into the 500G ERT module using the endpoint programming device.
2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as
possible. For optimal results, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT Module.
3. Verify you have the correct programming mode (Mobile/Handheld Mode).
4. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming
device. During programming, the ERT 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.
Installing the 500G ERT Module Assembly on the Meter
After you program the ERT module, complete the installation by installing the ERT module on the meter.
To install the 500G ERT module on the meter
1. Align the black wriggler (1) so one of its four drive fins lines up with the meter's drive dog (2).
2. Carefully place the ERT module on the meter.
Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and ERT module wriggler can cause binding and
lead to poor registration or meter failure. If there is a gap between the ERT module gasket and the meter,
it may be the wriggler of the ERT module is dead-headed against the meter drive dog as shown in the
following illustration.
Remove the 500G ERT module assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage the meter
drive dog in the ERT module wriggler.

To program the commercial ERT module
Program the index drive rate into the commercial ERT module using the endpoint programming device. For
all programming and Check Endpoint operations, hold the handheld programmer as close to vertical as
possible. For best success, keep the handheld programmer within 6 feet of the target ERT module. Verify you
have the correct programming mode (Mobile/Handheld Mode). Programming parameters are based on the
configuration file loaded into the endpoint programming device.
During programming, the ERT 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.
Installing the Commercial ERT Module Assembly to the Meter
After the ERT module is programmed, complete the installation by attaching the commercial module to the
commercial meter.
Warning Handle the commercial gas ERT module carefully so the metal passive radiator
antenna is not damaged.
To install the commercial ERT module on the Sensus commercial meter
1. Tilt the commercial ERT module at an angle and turn the wriggler until the drive notches line up with the
meter wriggler's drive teeth.
Warning Failure to properly align the ERT module wriggler with the meter drive post can cause binding
and lead to poor registration or meter failure.

2. Align the ERT module so the screw holes line up with the meter's top screw holes. Carefully lower the
ERT module on the meter so the wriggler's bars line up with the meter drive dog. Itron recommends
installation with one bar inserted into the meter drive dog's u-shaped gear.
Warning The INLET label on the commercial gas ERT module must line up with the INLET label on the
Sensus meter case.
3. Verify the bottom of the ERT module and the top of the meter meet. The ERT module housing should rest
on top of the meter without gaps.
Warning Do not press down on the commercial ERT module if a gap exists between the ERT module
and the meter. A gap may be caused by misalignment of the ERT module wriggler and meter's drive teeth.
Pushing down on the ERT module could damage the ERT module wriggler or meter drive teeth. To
eliminate a gap, slowly turn the commercial gas ERT module's shaft back and forth until the ERT module
wriggler aligns with the meter's drive teeth.
4. Align the ERT module with the index mounting holes. Verify the index drive dog intersects with the ERT
module's wriggler.
5. Install the ERT module mounting screws (SCR-0062-003, see Installation Prerequisites on page 7 for
screw information). Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the index assembly.
6. Install the index cover.
• For index covers with flat-surface screw holes, use screws (SCR-0062-002), flat washers (WSH-0020005), and cork washers (WSH-0032-001).
