Itron. Any unauthorized modification will void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In the event of malfunction, all repairs should be performed by Itron. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to Itron.
Attempts to do so by others might void any maintenance contract with your company. Unauthorized service personnel might also be subject to shock hazard on some Itron equipment if removal of protective covers is attempted. Intrinsic safety Warning: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
• The 100G DLT Datalogging gas ERT module (100G DLT) is a hybrid in the Itron line of 100 Series radio frequency (RF) gas meter modules. The 100G DLT combines the circuit board hardware of the 100G DLS module with the SCM messaging used in the 100G DLN module.
(such as meters installed on rooftops or in sub-basements). • Itron Cellular Solutions (ICS) Mode. The 100G DLS module is compatible with the Itron Cellular Solution and can be programmed for optimum operation with FDM Endpoint Tools Enhanced.
The installer enables the enhanced 100G DLS security at the time the ERT module is deployed or at a later time using an Itron programming device, Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced, and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory keys.
