Installing the 100G ERT ModuleNatural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide for Direct Mounting on Meters 71A gap at the screw locations is normal both before and after the index cover mounting-plate screws are tightened.7. Install the four ERT module mounting screws and tighten them, in a diagonal sequence. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the mounting plate. If you are using a torque wrench, tighten to 72 inch-pounds. 8. Place new tamper seals over screws and press the seals into place with an 11/32 inch nut driver, or other blunt tool. To attach the index and cover1. Locate the gasket previously removed and place it on the index cover mounting plate.2. Align the gasket screw holes with the mounting plate's screw holes.
Chapter 6 American/Actaris Commercial Meter Installation72 Natural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide for Direct Mounting on Meters3. Turn the index wriggler so it will go across the ERT module wriggler when you put the index onto the mounting plate. 4. Carefully lower the index and cover onto the mounting plate. Place the index facing the same direction it was before you removed it. 5. Align the index cover screw holes with the screw holes in the gasket and index cover mounting plate. 6. Verify there is no gap between the bottom of the index cover and the top of the gasket. If there is a gap, it may be the index wriggler is riding on top of the ERT module's upper wriggler. To eliminate a gap, repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until the cover fits properly. WARNING! Do not press down on the index cover if there is a gap. If you do, you can damage the index wriggler or ERT module wriggler.7. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the cover. 8. Place new tamper or wire seals over or through the screw heads.9. Press tamper seals into place with an 11/32 nut driver, or other blunt tool, or crimp the seal if you are using wire seals.100G ERT Module installation on the American Commercial Meter is complete.

Installing the 100G ERT ModuleNatural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide for Direct Mounting on Meters 81Installing the 100G ERT Module There are three major steps to installing the 100G ERT Module on a meter:xRemove the indexxProgram the 100G ERT Module xAttach the 100G ERT Module to the meter. NOTE Properly dispose of all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other left over materials. Do not leave any materials on customer premises. To remove the index1. Note the orientation of the index. Remove the tamper seals or wire seals from the index cover.For illustrative purposes in the procedure, a plastic index cover with tamper seal cups was used.2. Remove the index cover screws from the meter. Verify screws are 1/2-inch long and not corroded. xIf the screws are the correct length and not corroded, keep them for later use. xIf the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly. Use the screws listed in Replacement Screws.
Chapter 7 Sensus Commercial Meter Installation82 Natural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide for Direct Mounting on Meters3. Remove the index mounting screws and discard them.Program the ERTThe ERT must be programmed using the FC200SR with EndPoint-Link software. See the Endpoint-Link ERT Programming Guide (TDC-0411) for more information. IMPORTANT You must perform the following programming procedure for the ERT module to function properly. To program the ERT module1. Using the FC200SR, program the reading of the index that was on the meter into the ERT module assembly. xFor initial programming, hold the FC200SR approximately 1 foot away from the 100G. xFor reprogramming (30 days or more past initial programming), hold the FC200SR approximately 4 to 5 feet away from the 100G. Be sure to program the 100G to the correct mode for the reading technology that will be used (for example, Fixed Network Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode). In Endpoint-Link Pro v5.0, you will have access to the one mode that was defined by your system administrator. During programming, the 100G ERT module is programmed to the nearest 100 cubic feet; the last two digits (the tens and units) are programmed as zeros (0). Once programming is complete, however, the ERT module assembly can be read to the nearest cubic foot. 2. Slowly turn the ERT module drive wriggler two turns in the direction indicated on the index drive rate. This lets you verify the ERT module is counting properly after assembly. IMPORTANT Do not turn the drive wriggler faster than one turn per second.
Installing the 100G ERT ModuleNatural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide for Direct Mounting on Meters 833. Read the ERT module assembly using the FC200SR. Consult the EndPoint-Link ERT Programming Guide (TDC-0411) or other applicable instructions for details on how to read an ERT. xIf this reading is higher than the one you programmed in step 1 above, the ERT module assembly is counting correctly. xIf the ERT module assembly reading is not higher than what was programmed in step 1, replace the ERT module with a new one. To attach the 100G ERT Module to the meter1. Carefully lower the 100G ERT Module onto the meter top so the wriggler aligns with the meter drive dog. 2. Verify there is no gap between the bottom of the ERT module and the top of the meter. If there is a gap, it may be the drive notches of the ERT module's lower wriggler are not properly aligned with the meter wriggler's drive teeth.3. Position the ERT module so its screw holes line up with the screw holes in the top of the meter.4. Rotate the 100G ERT Module drive to make sure it engages with the meter drive.

Place the index on top of the 100G ERT Module and line up the mounting holes. Install the ERT module mounting screws (Itron part number SCR-0062-003). 6. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the mounting plate. If you are using a torque wrench, tighten to 72 inch-pounds. 7. Install the index cover:xFor plastic covers with a flat surface for screw holes: use screws (Itron part number SCR-0062-002), flat washers (Itron part number WSH-0020-005), and cork washers (Itron part number WSH-0032-001). NOTE Some plastic covers have a raised boss area for screw placement. In this case, use screws and red tamper seals. Press the tamper seals into place with an 11/32 nut driver or other blunt tool.

Turn the index wriggler so it will go across the ERT module wriggler when you put the index onto the mounting plate. 4. Carefully lower the index and cover onto the mounting plate. Place the index facing the same direction it was before you removed it. 5. Align the index cover screw holes with the screw holes in the gasket and index cover mounting plate. 6. Verify there is no gap between the bottom of the index cover and the top of the gasket. If there is a gap, it may be the index wriggler is riding on top of the ERT module's upper wriggler. To eliminate a gap, repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until the cover fits properly. WARNING! Do not press down on the index cover if there is a gap. If you do, you can damage the index wriggler or ERT module wriggler.7. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the cover. 8. Place new tamper or wire seals over or through the screw heads.9. Press tamper seals into place with an 11/32 nut driver, or other blunt tool, or crimp the seal if you are using wire seals.100G ERT Module installation on the Sensus Commercial meter is complete.
