Getting Started
The 100G is Itron's latest gas encoder-receiver-transmitter (ERT
®
) module.
ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices that transmit meter data. The RF meter data
can be received by a reading device that is within transmission distance of the ERT. Itron's
100G ERT module has increased output power over legacy gas ERT modules for increased
RF transmission distance.
This installation guide shows you how to install the 100G Remote ERT Module on the
Mercor Mini, Mini-AT, Mini-Max, and EC-AT meter correctors.
