Installing 40W and 50W ERT Modules
The tools and material required depend on whether you are installing a direct-mount ERT module or a remote-
mount ERT module; and if it is remote, the way it is mounted (pipe or flat surface). You must supply some or
all of the tools and material listed in Tables 1–2 and 1-3 below. Also, If you remove and replace registers, you
might need tools specified by register manufacturer.
NOTE: For remote-mount installations, customer-supplied cable is required (Badger supplies 3 feet
to 100 feet, typically 25 feet); cable length should not exceed 300 feet (Badger 500 feet). Itron recom-
mends 19-26 gauge, pre-bonded or solid conductor wire with a maximum diameter of .082" (individual
wire with insulation).
