Gas ERT® Modules
The 100G module is Itron’s most advanced gas ERT® module. It offers capabilities that enable utilities to streamline operational processes, reduce costs and enhance customer service levels with detailed consumption information. The module increases confidence in data privacy and system control with new levels of enhanced security. Members of the ChoiceConnect meter data collection systems, 100G modules are available for meters and correctors from all leading manufacturers.
The 100G module automatically stores 40
days of hourly data, providing a “black box”
of hourly usage which has proven valuable
in case of a catastrophic event. This
functionality benefits mobile customers by
providing valuable information for: move
in/move out reads to minimize off-cycle
reading; daily data for customer service
and billing disputes; monthly gas balancing
reads; hourly data to facilitate load studies
and data to support mid-cycle rate
changes.
