CHAPTER 1 Before You Begin Document Conventions Convention Itron product part numbers are noted in parentheses. Example To install the endpoint (ERW-1300-XXX), do the following steps. Hypertext links are in blue. See the Copyright Page for identification information. Note A Note indicates neutral or positive information that stresses or supplements important points of the main text. A note supplies information that may apply only in special cases.
Before You Begin How This Document is Organized This installation guide is organized with the following chapters: Chapter Description 1. Before You Begin Information about this publication 2. About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Overview of 100W-R and 100WP-R functionality. 3. Connecting, Initializing and Programming Instructions to initialize the 100W endpoint and connect the endpoint to the register. 4.
CHAPTER 2 About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints The 100W-R and 100WP-R are high-power radio frequency automatic meter reading (AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data that the endpoint transmits to a data collection device. The endpoint operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes. The 100W-R and 100WP-R ship in Factory Mode. The endpoints acquire and transmit meter register data within one hour following register connection.
About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints Battery Life Powered by two non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the 100W has an expected battery life of 20 years when the endpoint operates in default Mobile or Fixed Network Operating mode. If the 100W endpoint is programmed for Hard to Read Mobile Mode, the battery life is reduced to 13 years. To proactively indicate the battery has reached a <10% useful battery life, a Low Battery flag is set to indicate impending battery failure.
About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 2. Run Mode 100W-R endpoint’s normal operation mode. The 100W-R endpoint transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM, the 100W default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100W default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100W-R transmits a contingency SCM message every minute.
About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 3. Quiet Mode OEMs can configure the endpoint for quiet mode after programming and direct mounting the 100WP-R in a factory. An endpoint is awakened from quiet mode and enters Run Mode in one of two ways: Counting two pulses. The pulses are counted internal to the 100WP-R while it is in quiet mode. Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM.
CHAPTER 3 Initializing, Connecting, and Programming This chapter provides the instructions to initialize the 100W-R, connect the endpoint to water meter registers and program the 100WP-R. Initializing the 100W-R To initialize the 100W-R immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later.
Initializing, Connecting, and Programming Connecting the 100WP-R to a Remote Meter Register Connect the 100WP-R wires from the endpoint to the register according to the following table.
Initializing, Connecting, and Programming Programming 100W-R The 100W-R endpoint’s consumption values are not programmable. (Programmable parameters include values like ID and register type.) Programming the 100W-R will move the endpoint into the specified operating mode. If the 100W-R endpoint is not programmed, the endpoint will attempt to read the register every hour and will wake up into default Mobile Handheld mode when a register is found.
CHAPTER 4 Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints Install the 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints using one of the following mounting options: 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints Mounting Options Pipe Mount The endpoint mounts to a pipe near the meter (see Pipe Mount Installation). This option requires the Remote Mount Kit and the appropriate Pipe Mount Kit. Remote Mount The endpoint mounts to a flat surface and connects to the meter register with a cable up to 300 feet (see Remote Mount Installation).
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints To attach an encoder/pulser only backplate 1. Fold the completed encoder/pulser wire connections into the endpoint housing where the instructions PLACE GEL CAPS AND EXCESS WIRE IN THIS POCKET are stamped. 2. Route the register cable through the single backplate cutout. 3. Align the endpoint backplate with the mounting screw holes. Verify the Itron logo and arrow point up.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 4. Insert a backplate mounting screw in one corner and tighten two to three turns. Insert the remaining three screws, tightening a few turns. 5. Completely tighten all the screws in an alternating fashion. To attach an encoder/pulser and leak sensor backplate 1. Fold the completed encoder/pulser and Leak Sensor wire connections into the endpoint housing where the instruction PLACE GEL CAPS AND EXCESS WIRE IN THIS POCKET is stamped.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 2. Route the register cable through the appropriate backplate cutout and the Leak Sensor cable through the remaining cutout. 3. Align the endpoint backplate with the mounting screw holes. Verify the Itron logo and arrow point up. 4. Insert a backplate mounting screw in one corner and tighten two to three turns. Insert the remaining three screws, tightening a few turns. 5. Completely tighten all screws in an alternating fashion.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints Pipe Mount Installation The endpoint can mount on a pipe vertically, diagonally, or horizontally using a Pipe Mounting Kit and Remote Mount Kit (see 100W-R and 100WP-R Accessories on page 10). To mount the adapter plate on a vertical pipe 1. Take the pipe bracket and band clamp from the Pipe Mount Kit. 2. Loosen the clamp screw until the end of the band releases. 3. Push the end of the band through the hole in the pipe bracket. 4.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 5. Tighten the clamp screw three or four more turns to make sure the end of the band does not pop back out on this side of the pipe bracket. Verify the pipe clamp is in the final installation position on the pipe and completely tighten the band clamp screw. 6. Place the adapter plate on the pipe bracket. The adapter-plate screw boss goes into the pipe-bracket recess. 7.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints If the pipe is at a 45 degree angle up to the right, install the adapter plate with the mounting screws (2) as shown in the pictures below. If the pipe is at a 45 degrees angle up to the left, install the adapter plate as shown in the pictures below. If the pipe is horizontal, install the adapter plate as shown in the pictures below.
