6 Diaphragm Meter Installation This chapter provides the instructions to install remote modules (Itron part number ERG-7000501 with 2.5-foot cable and encoder) on diaphragm gas meters where a direct mount 500G ERT module is not possible.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation The following materials are required for each remote module installation to a diaphragm gas meter. Purchase these items from Itron. Part Number Description ERG-7000-501 Remote 500G ERT module with 2.5' encoder cable CFG-0081-001 Remote mount encoder kit 1. acetone applicator stick 2. tamper seals 3. cable ties 4. mounting screws 5. magnet hub spacer 6. magnet hub 013-1723-112 Encoder spacing tool.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount 4-hole front cover gasket: Itron part number FAB-0014003 Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 2-hole front cover gasket: Itron part number FAB-0014002 1-hole front cover gasket: Itron part number FAB-0014001 The Itron replacement index cover gaskets shown below are thicker than standard gaskets and have a special slot to accommodate the encoder cable. Gaskets are designed for Schlumberger/Sprague model 675 and 1000 commercial diaphragm meters.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 1. Remove the diaphragm meter index cover and index. Use care to hold the index cover and index while loosening the screws to protect them from damage if they are dropped. a. Remove the index cover screws in an alternating pattern. Hold the index cover while the screws are removed to protect it from damage due to being dropped. b. Remove the index cover and set aside. c.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 4. Briefly place the magnet side of the magnet hub into the curved indentation in the encoder as shown in the illustration. Remove the magnet hub from the encoder and set it at least one inch away from the encoder. 5. Use an ERT module programming device to read the remote module. If this reading is higher than the reading taken after the index was removed, the remote is counting and working properly.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 8. Press the magnet hub down over the hub spacer as far as possible. The bottom of the hub spacer may touch the index face. Turn the dial after magnet hub installation to verify that the index dial functions with a smooth, easy rotation. 9. If the dial needle tip sticks out past the edge of the magnet hub, cut off the end of the dial needle as close as possible to the magnet hub with sharp, side-cutting pliers. 10.

Important: You must do the next two steps exactly as described or the remote ERT module will not work properly. 14. Press the curved side of the encoder firmly against the side of the encoder spacing tool as shown below, with the adhesive side down.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation 17. Use the correct replacement gasket for your meter's index. Remove the gasket center and index cover-hole plugs from the new gasket. Insert the index and encoder assembly through the gasket center with the gasket's adhesive-backed side facing the meter. 18. Align the index wriggler with the meter's drive dog. Install the index on the meter using the index mounting screws. Tighten one index screw two turns.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation Caution: Route the encoder cable inside the index cover to provide strain relief (minimize pulling or twisting on the encoder). Verify that the strain-relief cable tie on the encoder cable is inside the index cover when the cover is installed on the meter. The gasket must align with the index cover screw holes and adhere to the meter face to ensure a proper seal after the index cover is installed. 21.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 6 Diaphragm Meter Installation Commercial Module Programming Notes Take note of the index drive rate shown on the index. The ERT is programmed based on the drive rate. Elster American commercial meter index drive rates may be 5-, 10- or 100 cubic feet. The index shown has a 10-cubic foot drive rate.
7 Optional Sealant Application Instructions In areas where insect intrusion is a problem, Itron recommends an optional sealant to help keep insects out of the ERT module housing. The Itron-tested and approved sealant (Itron part number ADH-5106-000) is used to seal gaps in remote ERT module 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.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 7 Optional sealant application instructions 2. Itron recommends sealant application after the remote module is installed so the cable is in the installation position. Use the sealant (ADH-5106-000) to fill the gap. 3. Use enough sealant to fill the gap. Wipe off any excess sealant and replace the cover on the sealant tube.
8 Using Gel-cap Connectors to Complete Wiring Connections This section provides the instructions to complete remote ERT module to meter wiring connections. Gel-cap connections require: ■ E-9R 3M® gel-cap crimping tool ■ 3M gel-cap connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001) 1. Push the two wires into the connector as far as possible. Caution: Do not strip insulation from the ends of the wires before inserting them into the connector. 2.
500G ERT® Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount Chapter 8 Using gel-cap connectors to complete wiring connections 4. 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.
