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
