TDC-0909-003 100W and 100WP Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide 12
Proprietary and Confidential
Install the 100W and 100WP ERT module using one of the following methods:
100W and 100WP Mounting Options
Rod mount
The ERT module mounts on a 1/2-inch outside diameter rod.
Wall mount
The ERT module mounts to a wall or other vertical surface.
Base mount
The ERT module mounts on a horizontal, flat surface.
Shelf Mount
The ERT module mounts in pre-fabricated pockets or shelves within the pit lid
using a shelf mount accessory kit.
Through Lid
The ERT module mounts in lids with hole sizes from 1-3/4 inches to 2-inches.
Through-lid installation requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-1300-004).
For water pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on two factors: the lid material and the current lid
configuration. Metal lids may require a through-lid remote mount antenna for optimal ERT module radio
performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above. The
100W and 100WP ERT modules are temperature rated from -20º C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W and
100WP ERT module in locations that may exceed the temperature rating.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W and 100WP ERT module:
• ERT module positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance
and battery life.
• Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors.

100W and 100WP ERT Modules with Integral Connectors
If 100W and 100WP ERT modules with integral connectors (ERW-1300-X0X) and the registers are not
installed at the same time, secure the protective connector cover on the ERT module using an Itron Security
Seal (Itron part number MSC-0018-001). Cable ties are not shipped with the 100W and 100WP ERT module,
but can be ordered from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the ERT module side) in the field for up to one
year.
Warning If a dual-port 100W and 100WP ERT module is installed but the Leak Sensor is not
attached, the environmental cap (MSC-0019-005) must remain in place on the blue
connector (Leak Sensor connector) to protect the connector from damage.
