Installing the 100G ERT Module 7. If the index has mounting legs, make sure each leg is parallel to the back of the index (as shown) to provide proper alignment between the ERT and meter. 8. Verify the index wriggler is parallel to the surface of the index. Indexes that do not have mounting legs must be attached to the ERT module’s index backplate mounting posts. Indexes that have mounting legs only, must be attached to the ERT module's index bracket mounting posts.
Chapter 5 National/Lancaster Meter Installation If you are attaching the index to the 100G ERT Module using mounting legs, use Itron SCR-0015-001 screws. If you remove the two mounting legs and attach the index to the 100G ERT Module backplate mounting posts, use Itron SCR-0037-001 screws. To attach the index to the 100G ERT Module using the mounting legs 1. Get two new screws (part number SCR-0015-001) for attaching indexes to ERT modules by their legs. 2.
Installing the 100G ERT Module 3. Place the index’s mounting leg screw slot under the screw head and tighten the screw enough to hold the index leg in place, but loose enough so you can pivot the index around the screws. 4. Make sure the index’s right mounting leg screw slot is positioned over the ERT module’s right index mounting leg screw hole. 5. Turn each screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it contacts the mounting leg. To attach the index to 100G ERT Module without mounting legs 1.
Chapter 5 National/Lancaster Meter Installation Program the ERT The 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 module 1. Using the FC200SR, program the reading of the index that was on the meter into the ERT module assembly.
Installing the 100G ERT Module To attach the 100G ERT Module to the meter 1. Get two new ERT module mounting screws (part number SCR-0014-004). 2. Carefully place the ERT module assembly on the meter. Make sure the meter drive dog aligns with the white wriggler drive slot. 3. Make sure there is no gap between the 100G ERT Module and the meter. If there is a gap, the end of the meter drive dog is probably riding on the face of the ERT module wriggler drive post instead of in its drive slot.

CHAPTER 6 American/Actaris Commercial Meter Installation This chapter shows you how to install a 100G ERT Module on an American Commercial meter. Before installing the 100G ERT Module, verify you have: A compatible meter shown in the Meter Compatibility List. A compatible index. Itron 100G ERT Module can be used with standard dial and direct read (odometer) indexes. The list of materials defined under Installation Prerequisites in this chapter.
Chapter 6 American/Actaris Commercial Meter Installation Materials Supplied by Itron The following items are supplied by Itron: 100G ERT Module New tamper seals Four screws for securing the 100G ERT Module assembly to the meter. These screws may have holes drilled into the heads to accept wire tamper seals. Two internal-tooth star washers for the mounting screws when using metal index plates. Two cork washers and two flat washers for the mounting screws when using plastic index covers.
Installing the 100G ERT Module There are two types of index mounting plates for American Commercial meters. One type is made of plastic and has tamper seal cups. The other type is made of metal and has no tamper seal cups. Similarly, there are index covers with tamper seal cups and covers without tamper seal cups. Installing the 100G ERT Module There are four major steps to installing the 100G ERT Module on a meter: Remove the index or index and cover mounting plate.
Chapter 6 American/Actaris Commercial Meter Installation To remove the index 1. Note the orientation of the index. Remove the tamper seals or wire seals from the index cover and the mounting plate screws. For illustrative purposes in the procedure, a plastic index mounting plate with tamper seal cups was used. 2. Remove the index cover screws from the meter. Verify they are 1/2-inch long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, keep them for later use.
Installing the 100G ERT Module If the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly. Use the screws listed in Replacement Screws on page 62, if necessary. 3. Remove the gasket from the index cover mounting plate and set it aside where it will not get damaged. You will use the gasket later in the installation.
