Itron 100G series remote ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the remote ERT module. The 100G remote gas ERT module was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron remote gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series remote gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first generation 100G remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging remote 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) remote gas ERT module added improved network performance through a higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. The 100G DLS remote gas modules 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. The 100G remote module features tilt and cut cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the meter, instrument, or ERT module. 100G ERT module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event. Transmission Modes The 100G series remote gas module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile and handheld, hard to read mobile and handheld, or cellular solutions mode (fixed network applications only). • Fixed Network Mode. The 100G series remote gas module 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 series remote gas module 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 series remote gas module 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 series remote gas module 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. CHAPTER 1 About the 100G Series Gas ERT Module TDC-0824-014 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount 1 Proprietary and Confidential
About the 100G Series Gas ERT Module • (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module 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). • 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 RF network interval message (NIM) 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 remote gas module. 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 DLT remote gas ERT module 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 DLT remote gas ERT module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100G DLT remote gas ERT module 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).

Mounting the 100G Series Gas ERT Module Mounting Installation Considerations Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the 100G series remote gas module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length. The 100G series remote gas module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet with a recommended one-splice limitation. Mount the 100G series remote gas module in a vertical position with the ERT label directional arrow pointed upward. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because: • 100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. • 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. 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. Do not mount the 100G series remote gas module in an orientation other than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements may void the product warranty Mounting the Remote ERT Module on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the 100G series remote gas module on a pipe or vertical flat surface (wall): Itron Part Number Description ERG-500X-501 ERG-500X-502 ERG-500X-503 ERG-500X-505 100G series remote gas module (ERG-5006-501 shown) CFG-0005-003 Pipe Mount Kit Kit includes: (2) two band clamps (2) two tamper seals pipe bracket cable ties adapter plate Screws: (2) 1/2-inch, to attach the adapter plate to pipe bracket (2) 1-inch, to attach the ERT module to the adapter plate (3) 1 1/2-inch, to attach the ERT module to a vertical surface (wall) Warning Install the 100G series remote gas module in an upright position.

Rotary Meter Installation 2. Insert the lead wires from the 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. Rotary Meter to Remote ERT Module Wire Table Rotary meter wire Remote ERT module wire Red Red White White Blue Blue Important Use a crimping tool compatible with gel-connectors. Do not use a standard pliers for crimping gel connectors. The crimping tool provides an even pressured crimp to make a secure connection. Apply pressure for three seconds until the gel connector is fully crimped (collapsed) to allow time for the low viscosity silicone-based gel to flow (3). 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. 3. After completing the wiring connections, install a cable tie to the meter cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the cable insulation. Remove the excess cable tie using a hand-held side-cutter pliers. The cable tie performs as a cable strain relief to mitigate the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires.

Rotary Meter Installation 4. Connect the meter cable to the 100G series remote gas module using 3M gel-cap connectors. Follow the wire connection table and wiring diagrams below. See Installation Prerequisites on page 7 for appropriate 3M crimping tools. 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.
