1 Introduction Itron’s Remote Mount Cellular 500G Modules (hereafter referred to as Cellular 500G) are IPV4/IPv6 open standards-based gas modules designed to be read under Itron’s multipurpose Network Mode or by legacy Mobile Mode. In Network Mode. The Cellular 500G offers firmware download, sub-hourly interval data, and extended data storage. In Mobile Mode. The Cellular 500G operates identically to the 100G DLS Dataglogging Remote Module.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 1 Introduction ■ Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the module is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. ■ Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 1 Introduction (Optional) Hard to Read Mode The module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. In Hard to Read Mode, the expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on rooftops or in sub-basements).
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 1 Introduction Local Auditing Note: Local auditing functionality is dependent on the module’s firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11. The Cellular 500G supports local data auditing of installation programming. Local auditing features the listed characteristics. ■ Supports writing data (in both manufacturing and by FDM) to the module to support future installation programming auditing.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide Functional specification 1 Introduction Description ■ The Cellular modem is a Sierra Wireless HL7800 module. – IC: 2417C-HL78 Measurement Canada: Pending Intrinsically safe per Telemetering Equipment for use in Hazardous Locations, for Cl I, Div 1, Gp D for Haz Loc, Temp Code T1, -40°C ≤ Ta ≤ +70°C. Operational All Cellular 500Gs operate pursuant to FCC, ISED cellular licensing, and 3GPP defined, regulated cellular standards and networks.
2 Mounting This chapter provides the instructions to mount the Cellular 500G on a pipe or other flat vertical surface (wall). Standard Installation Options Mount the Cellular 500G using the pipe mount or wall mount (flat vertical surface) procedure. ■ Pipe mount. Itron offers a pipe installation kit (CFG-0005-003) to mount the Cellular 500G on a pipe. ■ Flat vertical (wall) mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the module on a wall or other vertical surface.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide Itron part number CFG-0005-003 2 Mounting Description Pipe mount kit contents: ■ 2 band clamps ■ 2 tamper seals ■ 1 pipe bracket ■ 2 cable ties ■ 1 adapter plate ■ the following screws: 1. SCR-0215-001 (2) #8-16 by 1/2 inch slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel. Attaches the adapter plate to the pipe bracket. 2. SCR-0215-002 (2) #8-16 by 1 inch slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 2 Mounting Push the end of the band through the band clamp screw assembly. Turn the band clamp’s screw assembly to fit into the pipe bracket opening. Tighten the clamp screw until the band clamp is secure on the pipe. 5.

Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 2 Mounting 10. Insert the tamper seals. 11. Gather the excess module cabling into a loop and use the cable tie to secure the gathered cable to the pipe. Adapter Plate Mounting Positions Note: The notch at the top of the adapter plate (1) must always be at the top position. The following illustrations show the various mounting configurations. The adapter plate mounting screw locations are indicated (2).
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 2 Mounting Selecting and Installing On a Wall or Flat Vertical Mounting Location Carefully select a mounting location free from electrical wires. The mounting location must have the proper clearance to accommodate the 1.5 inch module mounting screws so nothing is damaged by the drill or mounting screws. Use a compatible mounting screw. 1. Drill three pilot holes in the mounting surface.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 2 Mounting 5. Secure any excess module cabling with a cable tie. DRAFT October 11, 2021 815-0622-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.
3 Programming Caution: You must program the module before use. Programming Itron modules requires an understanding of: ■ Your meter’s drive rate and the number of dials – ■ The drive rate and number of dials is important for programming the module to count correctly and roll over to zero at the correct time. For example, a four-dial, two cubic feet meter configuration will count two cubic-feet for each rotation and roll over to zero after 9999.99 where the ones place is equivalent to 100 cubic-feet.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 3 Programming 1. Verify that you have the correct programming mode (Network Mode or Mobile Mode [mobile high power mode, mobile/handheld mode, or hard-to-read mode]) for your application. 2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target module. 3.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 3 Programming DRAFT October 11, 2021 815-0622-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 3 Programming Programming Example Endpoint programmed for 6 dial, 1000 cubic feet (CCF). 1. Enter the initial index read. For this example, the initial read is 123456 where 6 = 600 cubic feet. After the initial programming, an endpoint read will result in a reading of 1234560 where the least significant digit is in 10’s of cubic feet.
Cellular 500G Module Remote Mount Installation Guide 3 Programming Check Endpoint Functions The FDM Check Endpoint function triggers users to input the number of dials and drive rate if a Check Endpoint is requested for an endpoint programmed for 5, 6, or 7-dial meter configurations. The request to input the dial and drive rate information happens only if the system has more than one option using the same count rate and rollover variable enabled in their FDM business unit.

The connector is properly crimped when the top of the moveable yellow center (1) is flush with the top of the connector body (2). Warning! Crimping the connector forces sealant out of the connector. The sealant protects the inside of the connector against insects, moisture, or other contaminants. The sealant may cause minor eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye contact.
6 Optional Sealant Application Instructions In areas where insect intrusion is a problem, Itron recommends an optional sealant to help keep insects out of the module housing. The Itron-tested and approved sealant (Itron part number ADH-5106-000) is used to seal gaps in Cellular 500G installations that can allow insect intrusion. 1. Prepare the module for the sealant by verifying the application area is clean and dry. Warning! Apply sealant in a well-ventilated area. 2.
