Custom GE Dresser mounting
•
D800/D1000 mounting solution requires the following materials
•
(1) 8-32 x ½" screw
•
(2) 8-32 x ¾" screws
•
(3) 8-32" Kep nuts
5. Programming the remote module. Programming requires an Itron programming device (for
example, an FC300SR). For programming information, see Programming on page 21.
Remote module configuration with the meter is dependent on your system application. See
the GE Dresser meter product documentation for configuration information.
GE Oil and Gas Custom Mounting Options
Specific product mounting instructions for GE D800/D1000 meters are included in the
D800/D1000 installation section.
GE Oil and Gas ES3 or ETC Ordered with the AMR-ready Mounting Kit
1. Score (cut) the cable jacket surrounding the ES3
or ETC wires and carefully remove the cable jacket
to expose the ES3 or ETC wires.
2. Connect the wires to the module. For more information, see GE Oil and Gas Meters With Pulse Output
Wiring on page 50.
3. Align the module mounting holes with the ES3 or
ETC bracket mounting holes. Use a T15 Torx
screwdriver to insert and tighten the mounting
screws. Tighten the screws in an alternating pattern.
Caution: Upright vertical positioning is critical because:
■ The 500G series modules are optimized for communication and require
upright mounting. Any other mounting position could result in reduced RF
performance.
■ The remote module tilt tamper sensor requires upright mounting. Any other
mounting position may cause issues with the module's tilt tamper detection.
