Direct Mounting the 2.4GZ OpenWay Remote Mount Gas
Module to the Dattus Meter
2.4GZ OpenWay remote mount gas modules can be direct mounted to Dattus fM2 and fM3 meters with the
Dattus Direct Mount Kit (Itron part number 442491-001). Dattus meter registers can be rotated to
accommodate vertical or horizontal meter. Customers may have Itron, Owenton, Kentucky complete the cover
modification and bracket attachment or may order the kit to retrofit the Dattus meter. The external cover of the
Dattus meter is modified with three holes to mount the module bracket. The modification is dependent on the
orientation of the meter installation.
A
Horizontally oriented meter module mounting hole modifications
B
Vertically oriented meter module mounting hole modifications
Caution Vertical mounting position is important to maximize RF performance. You can mount
a 2.4GZ OpenWay remote gas module with the module's label arrow pointing up or down,
dependent upon the application as noted in relevant sections of this installation manual. The
module's arrow must never point to either side. The module's tilt tamper functionality is
designed to operate with the module installed vertically. The 2.4GZ module's tilt tamper will
operate with the label arrow pointed up or down. The module's tilt tamper will not operate with
the module installed horizontally (the label arrow pointed to either side).
