The 60W Endpoint is available in the following cable configurations:
Inline connector with approximately six inches of cable 5-foot open-end cable 6-inch open-end cable These cable combinations provide easy interface to several types of pulser meter registers. The 6-inch cable variant allows meter manufacturers to integrally mount the endpoint to their respective meter registers. Installing the 60W Endpoint integrated with a meter register in a water pit box reduces the endpoint's RF signal distance significantly. If read reliability is a problem, select a new installation method. How This Document is Organized This document is organized into the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Before You Begin 2: About the 60W Endpoint 3: Installing the 60W Endpoint Description Information about this publication. Overview of 60W Endpoint installation. Step-by-step endpoint installation instructions for:
Rod mount Wall mount Through lid mount Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-0771-010) Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-0771-011) Passive Radiator Kit (CFG-0771-006) 4: Connecting the 60W Endpoint Pit lid shelf mount Instructions to connect the 60W to the water meter using an inline connector and 5 ft cable. Verifying 60W Endpoint operation 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 7 Chapter 1 Before You Begin 8 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 C H A P T E R 2 About the 60W Endpoint 60W Endpoint are low-power radio frequency Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) endpoints that attach to a water meter to collect usage and tamper data, encode the data, and transmit that data to a data collection device. 60W Endpoints operate in bubble-up mode; the endpoints transmit a standard consumption message (SCM) at approximately every seven seconds at +10 dBm (10 milliwatts) between 910-920 MHz. The 60W Endpoint support protocols for a variety of meter manufacturer's registers. Refer to the Water Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002), for the list of supported meters and registers. 60W Endpoints feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection: The 60W Endpoint indicates by meter reading software that a potential system leak exists if a zero consumption value does not occur over a seven day period of hourly register reads. Upon detecting a zero consumption, the leak message changes to an Off status and the seven day test period is reset. Tamper Indicators: To minimize the possibility of theft, the 60W Endpoint features cut cable tamper reporting as well as a security seal to indicate physical tampering. A cut cable tamper is reported when the cable connecting the register and endpoint is cut or disconnected. The tamper counter value continues incrementing until the problem is resolved. Reverse Flow Detection: To detect reverse flow, the 60W Endpoint compares the registers current consumption reading to the reading obtained at the previous hourly update. If the register value is less, the endpoint signals the meter reading software to report a reverse flow condition for the next 40 days. The 40 day time limit is continually reset if another reverse flow event occurs before the period has timed out. NOTE! When all the digits of the register roll over to zero a reverse flow condition is reported. Battery Life Powered by a non-replaceable, long life dual lithium battery pack, the 60W Endpoint has an expected battery life of 20 years. Battery life is 15 years for cable lengths 150 feet and over. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 9 Chapter 2 About the 60W Endpoint Installation Options Install the 60W Endpoint using one of the following methods:
Rod MountThe endpoint is mounted on a 1/2 inch outside diameter rod. Wall MountThe endpoint is mounted to a wall or other vertical surface within a meter pit. Through LidThe endpoint is mounted in lids with hole sizes from 1 3/4 inches to 2 inches. Through Lid installation requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-0771-010 -
discontinued or CFG-0771-011) or Passive Radiator Antenna Kit (CFG-0771-006). Refer to 60W & 60WP Installation Methods Overview (PUB-0771-010) for guidance on which kit to install for different pit lid material and traffic conditions. Shelf MountUsed in conjunction with the shelf mount adaptor, the endpoint slides into a pit lid slot. NOTE! The Shelf Mount option requires a pit lid slot with the correct dimensions to fit the 60W Endpoint assembly. Evaluate each type of pit lid to determine the proper installation option. See Shelf Mount Installation on page 30 for more information. For water pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on two factors: the type of lid material and the current lid configuration. Metal lids require a through-lid solution for optimal endpoint radio performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above (some lids have an underneath shelf design and require a Shelf Mount installation). 60W Startup Sequence The 60W ships in a Sleep State. Register reads and data transmissions begin after the endpoint enters into an operating mode. To place the 60W in an operating mode 1. Apply a shorting method (see To connect the 60W to the register on page 37) to place the endpoint into a Fast Transmit State. In Fast Transmit State, the endpoint transmits register data at two second intervals to determine if the endpoint and register are successfully communicating. The 60W-R remains in Fast Transmit State for 15 minutes if no communication errors occur. 2. If the 60W Endpoint obtains register data, it remains in the Fast Transmit State for 15 minutes and moves to a Post Install State for three hours. 10 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Installation Process Overview 3. If, during the Post Install State, the register connection is interrupted or the 60W does not get three additional register reads, the 60W Endpoint reverts back to the Sleep State. 4. If register and endpoint communications are successful, the 60W Endpoint enters a Normal Operating State after the three hour period. In Normal Operating State, the 60W reads the register once every hour and transmits data every seven seconds. After the 60W achieves Normal Operating State, it can never return to Sleep State. Installation Process Overview The process for installing a 60W Endpoint is illustrated below. 11 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Chapter 2 About the 60W Endpoint Attaching a Cable Tie to the Connector If the 60W Endpoint and register are not installed at the same time, secure the protective connector cover on the endpoint using a cable tie (Itron part number MSE-0005-002). Cable ties are not shipped with the 60W Endpoint, but can be ordered from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the endpoint side) in the field for up to one year. To install a cable tie to the connector 1. Thread the cable tie through the holes in the connector and protective cover. 2. Thread the cable tie end through the eye of the cable tie. Pull the cable tie tight to secure it (as shown). 12 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 C H A P T E R 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint This chapter provides the instructions to install the 60W Endpoint.

An installation plug is shipped with each box of 60W Endpoints. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 13 Chapter 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint Rod Mount Installation The 60W Endpoint can be mounted below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 3/8-inch rod. The example installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod. For supplier information on the rod material, see information under Compatibility Chart at the following Itron website address:
http://www.itron.com/pages/products_detail.asp?ID=itr_000428.xml&pgtype=&su bID=ar WARNING! The rod installation area must be free from other pipes, wires, or facilities that may be damaged by driving a rod into the ground. CAUTION! You must follow local codes when using the rod mount installation method. Required Tools and Hardware Hammer 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch outside diameter rod (1/2-inch diameter is preferred for new installations) Tape measure Cutting tool to adjust rod length The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the bottom and front view of the 60W Endpoint below. 14 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Rod Mount Installation To install the 60W Endpoint on a rod 1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions. 2. Measure the depth of the pit box from the top of the lip (where the lid will rest) to the bottom of the pit. Be sure to measure the depth at the point where the rod will be driven into the ground. 3. Add 12 inches to the pit box depth measurement taken in step 2. The resulting total represents the minimum length of rod needed. Soil types and moisture conditions may require longer rod lengths to ensure the endpoint is well supported and remains vertical. 4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of the pit as possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure the rod remains vertical. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 15 Chapter 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint 5. Drive the rod into the ground to a depth equal to dimension A in the following illustration. If the rod cannot be driven in enough to equal the 5 3/4 inch spacing, cut the remaining rod length to the proper height using an abrasive cut off tool. If the rod is driven to the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer version. CAUTION! Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-off tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles. A. The top of the rod should be 5 3/4 inches below the lip where the lid rests. For pit lids extending more than two inches below the pit box lip, add the excess length to the 5 3/4 inch dimension. 6. Place the endpoint on the rod. Completely insert the rod into the endpoint's rod mount hole. Do not force the endpoint onto the rod. If the endpoint does not slide freely on the rod, remove the endpoint and examine the endpoint rod hole and rod for burrs or obstructions. 16 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Rod Mount Installation 7. Installation is complete when the endpoint is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. 8. The endpoint must not contact the pit structure or lid. CAUTION! If the 60W Endpoint is installed too high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust as necessary. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 17 Chapter 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint Wall Mount Installation For locations other than a water pit box, select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the endpoint in an upright position. The arrow on the endpoint label must point upward. CAUTION! Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and battery life. To mount the endpoint to a water pit box, select a mounting location on the inside of the pit box and try to maintain a distance of one to three inches from the bottom of the pit box lid. The endpoint is suitable for use with up to 300 feet of Itron approved cable. Required Tools and Hardware Drill and drill bits appropriate for pit box material. Common hand tools for the selected fastening method. Mounting screws: #10 size pan head screws appropriate for the box material. To install the 60W Endpoint using the wall mount procedure 1. Select a vertical surface in the meter box. 2. Position the endpoint vertically so the top of the endpoint is between one and three inches below the bottom of the lid. 3. Mark the location of the top mounting hole. 4. Drill a pilot hole in the pit box wall. Follow the screw manufacturer's recommendation for the size of the pilot hole. 5. For concrete-type pit boxes, it may be necessary to use a screw anchor. Choose an anchor appropriate for a #10 pan head screw. CAUTION! Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. Over-tightening the mounting screws may break the endpoint mounting tabs. 6. Start a screw into the pilot hole. Using the top hole of the endpoint, set the endpoint over the screw head and slide it down so the screw is now at the top of the notch (as shown). Carefully tighten the screw until snug. Over-tightening the mounting screw could crack the endpoint housing. 18 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Wall Mount Installation 7. Holding the 60W Endpoint in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole. Use the bottom mounting hole as a template. NOTE! If mounting requires a screw anchor, mark the location of the bottom anchor and remove the endpoint. Drill the required mounting hole, insert the anchor, and re-attach the endpoint. CAUTION! Any endpoint position other than upright may negatively affect radio performance and battery life. 8. Screw the bottom screw into the pilot hole until snug. Do not over-tighten the mounting screw. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 19 Chapter 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint Through Lid Mount This section provides instructions to mount the 60W Endpoint in a pit lid with a drilled, round 1 3/4-inch, 1 7/8-inch, or 2-inch hole. CAUTION! Some pit lids have a molded, recessed cavity that allows Itron 40W-1, 50W-1, and 50W-2 ERT modules to sit flush with the top surface of the lid. However, the dome of the endpoint retainer and passive radiator antenna for the 60-series endpoints, have a smaller diameter and do not fill the pit lid cavity. This can cause the cavity to become a trip hazard. Itron does not recommend using this type of pit lid with 60 Series endpoints. Pit Lids with Holes The Pit Lid Mounting Kit or the Passive Radiator Antenna Kit can be used for this application. This section will explain how to install both types of kits. Please refer to publication PUB-0771-010 for guidance on which kit to install for different pit lid material and traffic conditions. NOTE! For lids requiring a drilled hole (lids without a hole), see To install in new lids on page 30.

The installed position of the endpoint should be vertical and upright when the lid is replaced on the pit. CAUTION! Any endpoint position other than upright may negatively affect radio performance and battery life. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 33 Chapter 3 Installing the 60W Endpoint 34 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 C H A P T E R 4 Connecting the 60W Endpoint This chapter provides the instructions to wire the 60W Endpoint to the water meter using an inline connector, a 5-foot cable, or a longer cable. Using an Inline Connector This section describes how to connect the 60W Endpoint to the water meter register using an inline connector assembly. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for installing the water meter register on the meter. To connect the inline connector NOTE! If an inline connector is not used and the 60W Endpoint is already connected to the water meter register, skip this step. 1. Remove the protective cover from the connector by twisting the two halves in opposite directions. Pull the halves apart. CAUTION! Make sure the connector halves are clean and dry before assembly. If any of the following conditions occur, do not install the endpoint:
Any of the three pins are damaged or missing The O-ring is missing The cable is cut or nicked 2. Connect the endpoint to the register cable connector. Holding the connectors by the back shells, rotate one end to align the keyed slots. Push until snug. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 35 Chapter 4 Connecting the 60W Endpoint 3. Slide the black coupling over the O-ring. Make sure the O-ring stays seated. If the O-
ring does not stay seated, disconnect and try again. 4. Twist to align the two tabs. 5. Install the security seal as shown. Push it until it snaps into place. NOTE! For future servicing of either the meter or endpoint, break the security seal by pulling apart. The original protective connector covers can be reused if kept clean and dry. Install a new security seal after servicing either device. To order more parts, see the Water Endpoint Ordering Guide (PUB-0063-001). CAUTION! Be sure to protect connectors with protective covers. Do not leave an exposed connector in the field. Using a 5-Foot Cable This section describes how to connect the 60W Endpoint to the water meter register using the 5-foot cable. CAUTION! The wire terminations must be properly coated with a non-conductive gel material to prevent water intrusion; otherwise, this configuration should not be used in a pit box environment. 36 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 Using a 5-Foot Cable To connect the 60W to the register 1. Remove the protective cover from the end of the cable by grasping the cover and pulling. 2. Use the shorting plug provided with the inline connector or temporarily short the red and white wires to initiate installation mode (see 60W Start-up Sequence and Operating Modes on page 10). In installation mode, the 60W Endpoint reads the register every 30 seconds and transmits every second for the first 15 minutes. Failure to connect to a register in the allotted time, causes the endpoint to revert back to Sleep state. If the endpoint reverts back to a Sleep state, repeat this step. CAUTION! If you simply connect the 60W to the meter register, the endpoint might not activate. 3. Connect the wires to the register screw terminals according to the following table.

If the screws are not sufficiently tightened or if wire insulation is under the head of the screw, intermittent electrical connection may occur. You must use a moisture-proof sealant if the meter will be used outdoors or in any environment where moisture could collect on the screw terminals. 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001 37 Chapter 4 Connecting the 60W Endpoint Verifying Operation of the 60W Endpoint Use one of the following handheld computers to verify consumption:
G5R FC200R NOTE!
Each handheld radio requires special setup and configuration parameters to successfully read and program 60-series products. Refer to the respective meter reading application for specific instructions. When using an FC200R ensure the RF Mode is set to 32. The G5R will require a special API. See MVRS 7.6 Release Notes for details. When comparing the actual register value to that reported by the 60W Endpoint please keep in mind the endpoint's consumption value is updated every hour when it is in a "Normal" state. ReadOne Pro, FS2PN and FS3PN readers should not be used to read the 60W Endpoint. These readers do not keep their receivers on long enough or at the right frequency to reliably capture a 60W Endpoint transmission. 38 60W Endpoint Installation Guide PUB-0771-001

Please revise test reports with frequency range of measurement defined and include all test equipment used such as loop antenna, dipole, horn ..etc. 9/17/08: The statement Radiated measurement from 1 to 30 MHz was performed in a GTEM. Was removed.
