American meters. Examples of 1-foot (1) and 2-foot (2) drive rates are shown below (a 0.05 cubic metre drive rate is not shown). Be sure to program the ERT based on the drive rate indicated on the index. Natural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide...
For reprogramming (30 days or more past initial programming), hold the FC200SR approximately 4 to 5 feet away from the 100G. Be sure to program the 100G to the correct mode for the reading technology what will be used (for example, Fixed Network Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard to Read Mobile/Handheld Mode).

2. Set the wriggler to the desired position for mounting the ERT module assembly to the meter. • For One-Foot Meters: Align the ERT module assembly wriggler with the meter drive post (as shown below). Make sure the ERT wriggler is perpendicular to the meter drive post. Natural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide...
Page 21
For Two-Foot Meters: Align the ERT module assembly wriggler with the meter drive slot (as shown below). It is acceptable for the pin on the 100G wriggler to be installed inside or outside of the meter drive slot. For ease of assembly, Itron recommends that the pin on the 100G wriggler be installed outside of the meter drive slot.
6. Press the new tamper seals into place using the 11/32-inch nut driver (or another similar blunt tool). 7. Complete any necessary paperwork. Make sure no excess material is left on the customer premises; dispose of it properly. Natural Gas Solutions 100G Installation Guide...
