CHAPTER 1 About the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Itron 100G series remote ERT modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the remote ERT module. The 100G remote gas ERT module was designed with a higher output power than earlier Itron remote gas ERT modules to achieve an increased RF transmission distance. The 100G series remote gas ERT modules have greater output power to meet Itron mobile and fixed network requirements. The first 100G remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power capability which increased operational efficiency and reduced infrastructure costs. The 100G Datalogging remote gas ERT module offered high transmit power with data logging capability (time-stamped hourly interval data) for both mobile and fixed network applications. Itron's 100G Datalogging Fixed Network (DLN) remote gas ERT module added improved network performance through even higher transmit power, accomplished using increased antenna efficiency and more robust optimized messaging structures. The 100G DLS remote gas module adds SCM+ messaging and enhanced network security for increased data networking protection against intrusion. The 100G remote module features tilt-tamper and cut cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the meter, instrument, or ERT module. The remote 100G module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event. Transmission Modes The 100G series remote gas module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. • Fixed Network Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the remote 100G module transmits a medium power RF message at every 60 seconds 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile High Power Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100G series remote gas module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in sub-basements). An FCC license is not required to read 100G series remote gas module. TDC-0824-006 100G Series Gas ERT Module Installation Guide, Remote Mount 1 Proprietary and Confidential

About the 100G Series Remote Gas Module 100G DLS ERT Module and Itron Security Manager The remote 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the 100G DLS module only. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications. • Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the remote 100G DLS 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. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the remote 100G DLS module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the remote 100G DLS module modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect enhanced security enabled (ready to secure), the utility can—at a later date—configure the ERT modules for ISM enhanced security. Enabling 100G DLS Remote Gas ERT Module Security When remote 100G DLS modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a utility factory key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable enhanced security; the installer enables enhanced remote 100G DLS module security at the time the ERT module is deployed using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility Factory key.

Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module Mounting Installation Considerations Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the 100G series remote gas module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length. The 100G series remote gas module supports cable lengths up to 300 feet. Mount the 100G series remote gas module in a vertical position with the ERT label directional arrow pointed upward. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because: • 100G series remote gas modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy ERT module reading. • 100G series remote gas modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. Warning Do not mount the 100G remote module in an orientation other than vertical (remote ERT module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements will void the product warranty. Mounting the Remote ERT Module on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the 100G DLS Remote Gas ERT Module on a pipe or vertical flat surface (wall): Itron Part Number Description ERG-5003-501 100G DLN remote gas module ERG-5003-502 ERG-5003-503 ERG-5003-505 100G DLS remote gas module ERG-5006-501 ERG-5006-502 ERG-5006-503 (ERG-5006-501 shown) ERG-5006-505 CFG-0005-003 Remote Mount Installation Kit kit includes: (2) two band clamps (2) two tamper seals pipe bracket cable ties adapter plate Screws: (2) 1/2-inch, to attach the adapter plate to pipe bracket (2) 1-inch, to attach the ERT module to the adapter plate (3) 1 1/2-inch, to attach the ERT module to a vertical surface (wall) Warning Install the remote 100G DLS module in an upright position.

Mounting the 100G Series Remote Gas Module To mount the pipe bracket on a vertical pipe Caution A vertical mounting position is important to maximize RF performance. Mount the 100G remote module with the module's label arrow pointing up. The module's arrow must never point to either side or upside down. The module's tilt tamper functionality is designed to operate with the module installed vertically. 1. Remove the pipe bracket and band clamp from the Remote Mount Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-0005-003). 2. Loosen the band clamp screw until the end of the band releases. 3. Push the end of the clamp's band (1) through the holes (2) in the pipe bracket. The pipe bracket must be oriented as shown below. 4. Place the band clamp around the pipe. The band will loosely wrap around the pipe. 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. Caution The pipe bracket must fit firmly against the pipe to prevent slippage.
