Electronic Instrument Installation
4. Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting holes on the back of the IMC\W2.
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.
• 100G series remote gas module batteries must be vertical (installed with the positive terminal upward)
or battery life is compromised.
5. Secure the ERT module/bracket assembly on the IMC\W2 using four ERT module/mounting bracket
screws (M6 x 20 mm).
6. There are two options to connect the 100G series remote gas module to the GE Dresser IMC\W2:
1. For the Amphenol connector: plug the connector from the Itron ERT module to the IMC\W2 volume
input connector.
