Itron 100G series gas ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the ERT module. The 100G gas ERT was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first generation 100G gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging gas ERT module was enhanced to offer higher transmit power with data logging capability (time-stamped hourly interval data) for both mobile and fixed network applications. Itron's 100G Datalogging Fixed Network (DLN) gas ERT module added improved network performance through a higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. Itron's 100G series gas ERT module brings increased efficiency in SCM+ messaging and adds enhanced network security. SCM+ messages expand the data fields within our standard consumption message to offer added value. The enhancement of secure communications provides greater protection for bubble-up and two-way messaging to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to the system. The 100G DLT Datalogging gas ERT module (100G DLT) is a hybrid in the Itron line of 100 Series radio frequency (RF) gas meter modules. The 100G DLT combines the circuit board hardware of the 100G DLS module with the SCM messaging used in the 100G DLN module. This allows utilities currently using the SCM messaging in the 100G DLN can upgrade to the 100G DLT without the upgrades required for programming, enhanced security, or meter reading. The 100G DLT does not offer the optional ISM enhanced security capability or extended tamper information available in the 100G DLS. Transmission Modes The 100G series gas ERT module can be set to transmit in Fixed Network, Mobile and Handheld, or Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. • Fixed Network Mode. The 100G transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G DLS transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements).

About the 100G Gas ERT Module • Itron Cellular Solutions (ICS) Mode. The 100G DLS module is compatible with the Itron Cellular Solution and can be programmed for optimum operation with FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced. In ICS mode, the 100G DLS transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds; expected battery life is 20 years. Note ICS mode is for fixed network application only. ICS is optimized to work with the ICS communications module in Itron’s electric meter. The 100G DLS must be in a full security mode to work with ICS. This is not part of the ICS mode, but is a system level requirement. An FCC license is not required to read 100G series gas ERT modules. 100G DLS ERT Module and Itron Security Manager The 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the 100G DLS module only. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure system communication confidentiality and validity. • Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100G DLS is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. • Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100G DLS supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100G DLS modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect enhanced security enabled (ready to secure), the utility can—at a later date—configure the ERT modules for ISM enhanced security. Note Enabling or working with Itron ISM enhanced security requires FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced. Enabling 100G DLS ERT Module Security When 100G DLS ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains utility factory keys. The presence of these utility factory keys does not enable the enhanced security; the installer enables the enhanced 100G DLS security at the time the ERT module is deployed or at a later time using an Itron programming device, Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced, and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory keys. For more information about programming the 100G DLS ERT module for security, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934).

About the 100G Gas ERT Module Installation Overview Installing the 100G series gas ERT module on a meter involves four tasks: 1. Removing the index cover and index from the meter. 2. Assembling the 100G and index. 3. Programming the 100G assembly. 4. Attaching the 100G to the meter. Warning ERT modules contain sensitive electronic components which can be damaged if the module is dropped from heights greater than 36 inches. Product warranty coverage is contingent on not exceeding this drop height limitation. TDC-0823-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 16 Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to install the ERT module on an Elster American Meter. Removing the Meter Index Begin the module installation by removing the index cover and index from the meter. To remove the index from the meter 1. Remove the four index cover screws and the index cover from the Elster American meter. Alternate screw removal following the numbered pattern in the photo. 2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8-inch long and not corroded, keep them to install the 100G assembly to the meter. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard. Note You may use the removed index cover as a temporary storage container for screws. Properly dispose all unused screws, old index covers, gaskets, tamper seals, and other leftover materials.

Elster American Meter Installation 3. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely. Hold one hand under the index to catch the screw. While you remove the other mounting screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep the index backplate against the back of the screw. Remove the screw completely after the index is free of the meter. Set the index aside where it will not be damaged or fill with dirt, rain or snow. You will mount the index to the ERT module later in this procedure. 4. Verify the index mounting screws are 3/16-inch long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, retain for later use. If you discarded the original screws, use the correct replacement screws (see Installation Prerequisites on page 14). 5. Remove the old gasket, gasket residue and dirt from the meter (if applicable). The meter face must be free of gasket residue and foreign materials before you install the 100G series gas ERT module. Assembling the Gas ERT Module and Index Continue ERT module installation by assembling the ERT module and index. To assemble the 100G series gas ERT module and index 1. Separate the ERT module housing from the cover by pulling the cover straight out from the housing. TDC-0823-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 18 Proprietary and Confidential
Elster American Meter Installation 2. Set the ERT module clear 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. Note Elster American Meter indexes are available in different models: Index wrigglers on one-foot meters with drive slots Index meters on two-foot meters with drive posts Index with mounting screw holes Index with mounting slots If your index has mounting screw slots, skip steps 3 and 4. If your index has mounting screw holes, perform steps 3 and 4, and skip steps 5 and 6. 3. Using the original index mounting screw or a replacement screw, if necessary, place one 8 - 32 3/16-inch screw into the index's right-hand mounting screw hole. 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. Screw one 8 - 32 x 3/16-inch screw into the right index mounting post loosely--one or two turns. Do not tighten the screw. 6. Place the right index mounting screw slot under the screw head. Do not tighten the screw. 7. Slide the index drive post into the ERT module shaft slot. Verify positive engagement.

Elster American Meter Installation Caution If the index wriggler has a drive slot, place the ERT shaft drive post into the index drive slot. 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. Install and tighten index mounting screws evenly. 9. Slide the ERT module cover over the index and housing. Verify the cover is installed correctly. The ERT label should be clearly visible and easily read. Programming the 100G ERT Module Assembly Program the 100G, 100G DL, 100G DLN, or 100G DLT ERT modules using: • An FC200SR handheld computer with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 1.1 or higher or • A FC300 with SRead handheld computer with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 1.1 or higher or • A 900MHz Belt Clip Radio with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 1.1 or higher and a customer-supplied laptop. The Belt Clip Radio connects to the user-supplied laptop using a USB cable or Bluetooth. TDC-0823-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 20 Proprietary and Confidential
Elster American Meter Installation The 100G DLS ERT modules support enhanced security with the Itron Security Manager. Enabling command or enhanced security requires additional programming. Program the 100G DLS ERT modules using: • An FC200SR handheld computer with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 3.3 or higher or • An FC300 with SRead handheld computer with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 3.3 or higher or • A 900MHz Belt Clip Radio with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 3.3 or higher and a customer-supplied laptop. The Belt Clip Radio connects to the user-supplied laptop using a USB cable or Bluetooth. To enable enhanced security and for more complete programming information, see the Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934). FC200SR FC300 with SRead 900MHz Belt Clip Radio Caution You must program the 100G ERT module before use. The ERT module is programmed based on the meter's drive rate. Take note of the index drive rate shown on a lower dial on the index. Elster American meter index drive rates are either 1-cubic foot, 2-cubic feet or 0.05 cubic meters (not shown below). TDC-0823-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Direct Mount 21 Proprietary and Confidential
Elster American Meter Installation To program the ERT module assembly 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100G series gas 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 (Fixed Network Mode, Mobile High Power Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application. 4. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the ERT module programming device. During programming, the 100G 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. Attaching the 100G ERT Module Assembly to the Meter After you program the 100G, attach the ERT module assembly to the Elster American meter. Warning For 5B-225 aluminum meters only: cut 1/16-inch off each ERT wriggler post to prevent the wriggler from rubbing on the face of the nut holding the meter drive dog in place. Trimming the drive post may make the module incompatible with other 2-ft. drive meters. To attach the ERT module to the meter 1. Align the ERT wriggler to connect with the drive post (or slot) of the meter. • For one-foot meters: Align the ERT assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive post. • For two-foot meters: Align the ERT assembly wriggler perpendicular to the meter drive slot. The pin on the ERT wriggler may be installed inside or outside the meter drive slot. For easy assembly, Itron recommends installing the pin on the 100G wriggler outside the meter drive slot. Warning Failure to correctly align the meter drive post and ERT module drive slot 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 drive slot of the ERT module assembly's wriggler is not correctly aligned with the meter drive slot. Remove the 100G assembly and repeat the alignment procedure. You must engage the ERT module wriggler with the meter drive dog.
