Diaphragm Meter Installation
Installing the 100G Series Gas ERT Module
The 100G series remote gas module mounts on a pipe using the Pipe Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-
0005-003) or a vertical flat (wall) surface. Always mount the 100G series remote gas module with the printed
label right-side-up (arrow pointing up -1), and the encoder wires (2) and tamper seals (3) at the bottom, as
shown.
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.

Installing 100G Series Gas ERT Module Encoders
Caution To insure proper adhesion, the 100G series remote gas module encoder must
be installed at temperatures between 40° to 95° Fahrenheit.
There are four tasks when installing the 100G series remote gas module with an encoder on a diaphragm
meter:
1. Remove the index cover and any gasket residue.
2. Install the 100G series remote gas module encoder on the index.
3. Program the 100G series remote gas module.
4. Attach the index cover to the meter.
