(AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data that the ERT module transmits to a data collection device. The ERT module operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ship in factory mode. The ERT modules acquire and transmit meter register data within one hour following register connection. The ERT module transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized with a handheld computer during installation (see Initializing, Programming, and Connecting the ERT Module). Caution Failure to initialize the ERT module may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour. The 100WP-
R module will default to a consumption value of 0 if the ERT module is not programmed with Itron's Field Deployment Manager (FDM). The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ 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. 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+s feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. 100W series ERT modules feature robust features to provide Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. For more information about Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection, see the Itron white paper Detecting Leaks and Reverse Flow with 100 Series ERT Modules. Note The 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module will not report reverse flow. Incremental encoded registers do not provide a distinguishing signal while flowing in reverse. Communication Error Indicators. Last Good Read (LGR Flag). Indicates a communication error with the register. 100W-R/100W-R+ encoder ERT module If this flag is set for 24 consecutive hours, it initiates a cut cable flag in the extended tampers. The last good read flag automatically clears after the ERT module receives a successful read from the register. 100WP-R/100WP-R+ pulser ERT module If the last good read flag is set two consecutive times, it initiates a cut cable flag in the extended tampers. The last good read flag automatically clears after the ERT module receives a successful read from the register. Note A last good read flag may be an indicator of a damaged register. Extended Tamper Flag. (Retrievable with two-way communication). Low Battery Warning. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT modules include a battery life estimator. The estimator is based on the number of data packets sent at the various power levels and the age (self-discharge) of the ERT module. The low battery warning allows the utility to TDC-0951-006 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 3 About the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Modules easily identify which ERTs are nearing end-of-life in a mixed population and gives the opportunity to schedule replacement. The low battery warning is a single flag set when the battery has less than 10% remaining capacity, typically 2 years life remaining battery life is evaluated daily at midnight. Cut Cable Flag. 100W-R/100W-R+ encoder ERT module. The cut cable flag sets if the LGR Flag is active for 24 hours. 100WP-R/100WP-R+ pulser ERT module. The cut cable flag sets if the LGR Flag is active for two consecutive times. The cut cable flag remains active for 40 days in mobile mode. The cut cable flag remains active for 24 hours in fixed network mode. 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Models Itron Part Number 100W/100W+ Remote ERT Module Description ERW-1300-213 100W-R Encoder Remote, 10-inch flying lead 100W-R+ Encoder Remote, 10-inch flying lead ERW-1300-313 ERW-1300-214 100W-R Encoder Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead ERW-1300-314 100W-R+ Encoder Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead 100WP-R Pulser Remote, 10-inch flying lead ERW-1300-215 ERW-1300-315 100WP-R+ Pulser Remote, 10-inch flying lead ERW-1300-216 100WP-R Pulser Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead 100WP-R+ Pulser Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead ERW-1300-316 TDC-0951-006 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 4 About the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Modules Itron Security Manager (ISM) The 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ modules are components of a ChoiceConnect system. Itron system security performed by Itron Security Managersupplies security to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ISM to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ modules supports the Itron Security Manager model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ modules are shipped without security enabled, the utility can, at a later date, configure the ERT modules for security. Enabling 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ Security When 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a utility factory key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable security. The installer enables 100W-R+ and 100WP-R+ security using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory key. For more information about programming the 100W-R+
and 100WP-R+, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934). Battery Life Powered by two non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the 100W has an expected battery life of 20 years when the ERT module operates in default mobile or fixed network operating mode. If the 100W series ERT module 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. Battery life is 15 years for the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Module when ERT module cable lengths exceed 150 feet. TDC-0951-006 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 5 About the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Modules 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Module Transmission Modes The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile high power, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. Fixed Network Mode. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module transmits a high-
powered NIM RF message every six minutes and a contingency SCM+ RF message every minute. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module transmits a medium-powered SCM+ RF message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile Mode. The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 30 seconds. The hard-to-read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications. Note The 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module's battery life is significantly affected in hard to read mobile mode. You may use the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range. An FCC license is not required to read 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT modules. 100W-R/100W-R+ Operating Modes 1. Factory mode 100W-R/100W-R+ modules ship from the factory in factory mode. The ERT module's transmitter is off. The ERT module's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100W-R/100W-R+ encoder models attempt to read the register every hour. Last good read and extended tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected. If the 100W-R/100W-R+ reads a connected register, the ERT module automatically moves to run mode (100W-R/100W-R+ only). 2. Run mode 100W-R/100W-R+ normal operation mode. The 100W-R/100W-R+ transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings or setting programmed with FDM for standard consumption messages (SCM or SCM+) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM (mobile), the 100W+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM (fixed network), the 100W default bubble-up rate is five minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100W-R/100W-R+ transmits a contingency SCM or SCM+ message every minute. Program FN mode with a programming device to configure NIM mode. 3. Meter manufacturer quiet mode Meter manufacturers can configure the ERT module for quiet mode after initializing and direct mounting the 100W-R/100W-R+ in the factory. The ERT module awakens from quiet mode and enters run mode in one of two ways:
TDC-0951-006 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 6 About the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Modules 1. The 100W-R/100W-R+ detects consumption at the top of the hour (last hourly interval >1 or <-1). 2. The 100W-R/100W-R+ receives a two-way command (for example, a Read ERT using FDM software). 4. GEO mode To reach the head end, 100W-R+ establishes a communication link with a CCU. In the event communications are lost with the host CCU, FDM is used to enable communications
(create a geo mode set) with a nearby 100W-R+. The ERT establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages. 100WP-R/100WP-R+ Operating Modes The 100WP-R/100WP-R+ has three standard operating modes. 5. Factory Mode 100WP-R/100WP-R+ modules ship from the factory in factory mode. The 100WP-R/100WP-R+'s transmitter is off. The 100WP-R/100WP-R+'s receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. Last good read and extended tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected. You must program the 100WP-R/100WP-R+ with the initial consumption and the register type to properly move the ERT module to run mode and record consumption. You can program the 100WP-R/100WP-R+
in the field with FDM or in the factory using custom programming. 6. Run mode 100WP-R/100WP-R+s normal operation mode. The 100WP-R/100WP-R+ transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM or SCM+) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM/SCM+, the 100WP-R/100WP-R+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100WP-R/100WP-R+ default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100WP-R/100WP-R+ transmits a contingency SCM/SCM+ message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 3. Meter manufacturer quiet mode Meter manufacturers can configure the ERT module for quiet mode after programming and direct mounting the 100WP-R/100WP-R+ in a factory. The 100WP-R/100WP-R+ 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/100WP-R+ while it is in quiet mode. Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM. If an ERT module installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM/SCM+ or NIM messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the ERT module, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command

Optional Leak Sensor Installation Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and pre-existing leaks. LS analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis and accessed through a secure Internet portal unique to your utility. This section describes installation of the Leak Sensor (LS) in a 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module system. The ERT module stores 20 days of Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the ERT module begins to write over stored data in a first in, first out manner. The ERT module automatically detects the presence of connected Leak Sensors. The ERT module will automatically detect the Leak Sensor within 22.5 minutes and begin reading Leak Sensor data. To immediately detect the Leak Sensor and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM software. The LS is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the house) 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT module installations. LS devices are mounted on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the Leak Sensor connector on the ERT module as described in Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R/100W-R+ and 100WP-R/100WP-R+ ERT Module. The mounting bracket shipped with the Leak Sensor accommodates an (up to) 1-1/2-inch OD pipe. An optional mounting bracket is available for pipe sizes (up to 2 1/2-inch OD).

(AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data the ERT module then transmits to a data collection device. The ERT module operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way mode. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules ship in factory mode. After installation and programming, the ERT modules acquire and transmit meter register data. The ERT module transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized or programmed with a handheld computer during installation (see Initializing, Connecting, and Programming the ERT Module). The ERT modules 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. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules are capable of reading 9-digit registers. The 100W/100W+
may be programmed to truncate down to eight-digit registers. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. 100W/100W+ series ERT modules feature robust features that provide Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. For more information about Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection, see the Itron white paper.
(Optional) Leak Sensor. Itron Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and preexisting water leaks. LS analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis. Systems with optional LS devices access leak information through a utility-
specific, secure mlogonline portal. Communication Error Indicators. Last Good Read (LGR Flag).

ChoiceConnect system security applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100W+ or 100WP+ ERT module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100W+ or 100WP+ ERT modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect security enabled, the utility can, at a later date, configure the ERT modules for security. Enabling 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT Module Security When 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a utility factory key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable security. The installer enables 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module security using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory key. For more information about programming the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934). TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 5 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Battery Life Powered by two non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules have an expected battery life of 20 years when the ERT modules operate in default mobile or fixed network operating mode. If the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module is programmed for hard to read mobile mode, the battery life is reduced to 12 years. To pro-actively indicate the battery has reached a
<10% useful battery life, a Low Battery Flag is set to indicate a low battery warning and alert the utility of an impending battery failure. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Transmission Modes The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile high power, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. Fixed Network Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered NIM RF message every six minutes and a contingency SCM+ RF message every minute. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a medium-powered SCM+ RF message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 30 seconds. The hard-to-read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications. Note The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module's battery life is significantly affected in hard to read mobile mode. You may use the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range. An FCC license is not required to read 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules. 100W/100W+ Operating Modes The 100W/100W+ has three standard operating modes. 1. Factory Mode 100W/100W+s are shipped from the factory in factory mode. The ERT module's transmitter is turned off. The ERT module's receiver is bubbling-up to listen for a programming command. 100W/100W+ encoder models will attempt to read the register every hour. Last good read and cut tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected. If the 100W/100W+ reads a connected register, the module automatically moves to run mode. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 6 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 2. Run Mode 100W/100W+'s normal operation mode. The 100W/100W+ transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM), standard consumption + messages (SCM+), or network interval message (NIM). For SCM and SCM+, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 5 minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100W/100W+ transmits a contingency SCM+ message every minute. NIM mode is configured when the module detects an attached register or by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 3. Audit Mode Audit mode is configured by sending a Check ERT command or a Set Mode command #119 with a programming device. The 100W/100W+ operates as if in run mode but also transmits an SCM+ every 4 seconds and bubbles up the receiver every 4 seconds. The 100W/100W+ exits audit mode automatically after 1 hour or by configuring run mode with a programming device. 4. GEO mode To reach the head end, 100W+ establishes a communication link with a CCU. In the event communications are lost with the host CCU, FDM is used to enable communications
(create a geo mode set) with a nearby 100W+. The ERT establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages. 100WP/100WP+ Operating Modes The 100WP/100WP+ has four standard operating modes. 1. Factory mode 100WP/100WP+s ship from the factory in factory mode. The 100WP/100WP+'s transmitter is off. The 100WP/100WP+'s receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. Last Good Read and Extended Tamper Flags may be set when a register is not connected. You must program the 100WP/100WP+ with the initial consumption and the register type to properly move the ERT module to run mode and record consumption. You can program the 100WP/100WP+ in the field with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) or in the factory using custom programming. 2. Run mode 100WP/100WP+s normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings or FDM programming for standard consumption messages (SCM) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM (mobile), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM (fixed network), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is five minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100WP/100WP+ transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device.

Meter manufacturer quiet mode Meter manufacturers can configure the 100WP/100WP+ for quiet mode after programming and direct mounting the 100WP/100WP+ in a factory. The 100WP/100WP+ 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/100WP+ while it is in quiet mode. Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM. If an ERT module installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM or NIM messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the ERT module, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command (for example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit. 4. GEO mode To reach the head end, 100W+ establishes a communication link with a CPU. The ERT establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages. In the event communications are lost with the host CPU, the 100WP+ searches for a nearby link. 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT Module Geo Mode 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module geo mode reduces infrastructure requirements by improving network coverage. The 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module geo mode technology addresses meters with isolated RF impairments allowing hard-to-read ERT modules to be read by a neighboring ERT module with good network coverage. After geo mode communications are enabled with FDM, the neighboring ERT module forwards the hard-to-read ERT module's message to the nearest data collection device.

TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 14 Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Required Tools and Hardware Hammer 1/2-inch outside diameter rod (you may use either a square or round rod) Tape measure Rod-driving tool (optional) Rod cutting tool The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module bottom and side views. To install the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module 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 pit box depth 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 you will drive the rod 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 ERT module 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. Note The rod shown has an end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground. 5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the pit lid. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 15 Installing the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module If you cannot drive the rod in enough to equal the necessary spacing, cut the remaining rod length to the proper height using an abrasive cut-off tool. Caution Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-
off tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles. If the rod is the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer version. 6. The top of the rod must be 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the lid. Place the ERT module on the rod. Completely insert the rod into the ERT module's rod mount hole. Do not force the ERT module onto the rod. If the ERT module does not slide freely on the rod, remove the ERT module and examine the ERT module rod hole and rod for burrs or obstructions.

The ERT module operates in both bubble-up mode and two-
way mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules ship in factory mode. After installation and programming, the ERT modules acquire and transmit meter register data. The ERT module transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized or programmed with a handheld computer during installation (see Initializing, Connecting, and Programming the ERT Module). The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules 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. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules are capable of reading 9-digit registers. The 100W/100W+ may be programmed to truncate up to three digits. Field Deployment Manager (FDM) provides the programming tool to set the 100W/100W+ for your register's dial parameters. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules feature robust features that provide Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. For more information about Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection, see the Itron white paper, Detecting Leaks and Reverse Flow with 100W Series ERT Modules.
(Optional) Leak Sensor or Remote Water Shut-off (SO). Itron Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and preexisting water leaks. LS analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis. Systems with optional LS devices access leak information through a utility-specific, secure mlogonline portal.

Last Good Read (LGR Flag) Indicates a communication error with the register. 100W/100W+ encoder ERT module If this flag is set for 24 consecutive hours, it initiates a cut cable flag in the extended tampers. The LGR Flag automatically clears after the ERT module receives a successful read from the register. 100WP pulser ERT module If the LGR Flag is set two consecutive times, it initiates a Cut Cable Flag in the extended tampers. The LGR Flag automatically clears after the ERT module receives a successful read from the register. Note Last Good Read Flag may be an indicator of a damaged register. Extended Tamper Flag (retrievable with two-way communication) Low Battery Warning. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules include a battery life estimator. The estimator is based on the number of data packets sent at the various power levels and the age (self-discharge) of the ERT module. The low battery warning allows the utility to easily identify which ERT modules are nearing end-of-life in a mixed population and gives the opportunity to schedule replacement. Note The low battery warning is a single flag set when the battery has less than 10% remaining capacity, typically 2 years life remaining. Battery life is evaluated daily at midnight. Cut Cable Flag 100W/100W+ encoder ERT module. The Cut Cable Flag sets if the LGR Flag is active for 24 hours. 100WP/100WP+ pulser ERT module. The Cut Cable Flag sets if the LGR Flag is active two consecutive times. The Cut Cable Flag remains active for 40 days in Mobile mode. The Cut Cable Flag remains active for 24 hours in Fixed Network mode. 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Models 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Description Itron Part Number ERW-1300-202 100W encoder, dual-port direct connect remote antenna and register integral connectors ERW-1300-302 100W+ encoder, dual-port direct connect remote antenna and register integral connectors, ISM 100W encoder, three-port direct connect remote antenna, Leak Sensor, and register integral connectors ERW-1300-203 100W+ encoder, three-port direct connect remote antenna, Leak Sensor, and register integral connectors, ISM ERW-1300-303 100W encoder, 5-ft. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector ERW-1300-205 100W+ encoder, 5-ft. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector, ISM ERW-1300-305 100W encoder 5-ft. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna and Leak Sensor integral connectors ERW-1300-206 100W+ encoder 5-ft. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna and Leak Sensor integral ERW-1300-306 connectors, ISM 100W encoder, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector ERW-1300-217 TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 4 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Description Itron Part Number ERW-1300-317 ERW-1300-218 ERW-1300-318 100W+ encoder, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector, ISM 100W encoder, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna, and Leak Sensor or integral connectors 100W+ encoder, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna, and Leak Sensor or integral connectors, ISM ERW-1300-208 100WP pulser dual-port direct connect remote antenna and register integral connectors ERW-1300-308 100WP+ pulser dual-port direct connect remote antenna and register integral connectors ERW-1300-209 100WP pulser, three-port direct connect remote antenna, Leak Sensor, and register integral connectors ERW-1300-309 100WP+ pulser, three-port direct connect remote antenna, Leak Sensor, and register integral connectors, ISM ERW-1300-211 100WP pulser, 5-ft. cable, direct connect remote antenna integral connector ERW-1300-311 100WP+ pulser, 5-ft. cable, direct connect remote antenna integral connector, ISM ERW-1300-212 100WP Pulser, 5-ft. cable, direct connect remote antenna and Leak Sensor integral connectors ERW-1300-312 100WP+ Pulser, 5-ft. cable, direct connect remote antenna and Leak Sensor integral connectors, ISM ERW-1300-219 100WP pulser, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector 100WP+ pulser, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna integral connector ERW-1300-319 100W pulser, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna, and Leak Sensor integral connectors ERW-1300-220 100W+ pulser, 20-in. cable register connect, direct connect remote antenna, and Leak Sensor integral ERW-1300-320 connectors Note The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module works accurately with cable lengths up to 300 feet. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 5 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Itron Security Manager (ISM) Users have the option of enabling the ISM enhanced security in the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module. ISM is a component of a ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system security applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure confidentiality and validity of the system communications. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. As a component of the Itron ChoiceConnect solution, the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module supports the security model found in the ChoiceConnect solution for both reading and programming. If the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT modules are shipped without ChoiceConnect security enabled, the utility can, at a later date, configure the ERT modules for security. Enabling 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT Module Security When 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT modules ship from an Itron factory, each module contains a utility factory key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable security. The installer enables 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module security using an Itron programming device and programming commands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory key. For more information about programming the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934). Battery Life Powered by two non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules have an expected battery life of 20 years when the ERT modules operate in default mobile or fixed network operating mode. If the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module is programmed for hard to read mobile mode, the battery life is reduced to 12 years. To pro-actively indicate the battery has reached a
<10% useful battery life, a Low Battery Flag is set to indicate a low battery warning and alert the utility of an impending battery failure. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 6 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Transmission Modes The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile high power, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. Fixed Network Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered NIM RF message every six minutes and a contingency SCM+ RF message every minute. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a medium-powered SCM+ RF message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile Mode. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module transmits a high-powered SCM+ RF message every 30 seconds. The hard-to-read mobile and handheld mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications. Note The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module's battery life is significantly affected in hard to read mobile mode. You may use the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range. An FCC license is not required to read 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules. 100W/100W+ ERT Module Operating Modes The 100W/100W+ ERT module has three standard operating modes. 1. Factory Mode 100W/100W+s are shipped from the factory in factory mode. The module's transmitter is turned off. The module's receiver is bubbling-up to listen for a programming command. 100W/100W+ encoder models will attempt to read the register every hour. Last good read and cut tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected. If the 100W/100W+ reads a connected register, the module automatically moves to run mode. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 7 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 2. Run Mode 100W/100W+'s normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM), standard consumption + messages (SCM+), or network interval message (NIM). o For SCM and SCM+, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. o For NIM, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 5 minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100W/100W+ transmits a contingency SCM+ message every minute. NIM mode is configured when the module detects an attached register or by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 3. Audit Mode Audit mode is configured by sending a Check ERT command or a Set Mode command #119 with a programming device. The 100W/100W+ operates as if in run mode but also transmits an SCM/SCM+ message every 4 seconds and bubbles up the receiver every 4 seconds. The 100W/100W+ exits audit mode automatically after 1 hour or by configuring run mode with a programming device. 4. GEO mode To reach the head end, the 100W+/100WP+ ERT module establishes a communication link with a CPU. In the event communications are lost with the host CPU, the 100W+/100WP+ ERT module searches for a nearby link. The ERT module establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages. 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Operating Modes The 100WP/100WP+ has four standard operating modes. 1. Factory mode 100WP/100WP+s ship from the factory in factory mode. The 100WP/100WP+'s transmitter is off. The 100WP/100WP+'s receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. Last Good Read and Extended Tamper Flags may be set when a register is not connected. You must program the 100WP/100WP+ with the initial consumption and the register type to properly move the ERT module to run mode and record consumption. You can program the 100WP/100WP+ in the field with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) or in the factory using custom programming. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 8 About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 2. Run mode 100WP/100WP+s normal operation mode. The 100WP/100WP+ transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings or FDM programming for standard consumption messages (SCM, SCM+) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM/SCM+ (mobile), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM (fixed network), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is five minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100WP/100WP+ transmits a contingency SCM/SCM+ message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 3. Meter manufacturer quiet mode Meter manufacturers can configure the 100WP/100WP+ for quiet mode after programming and direct mounting the 100WP/100WP+ in a factory. The 100WP/100WP+ 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/100WP+ while it is in quiet mode. Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM. If an ERT module installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM/SCM+ or NIM messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the ERT module, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command
(for example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit. 4. GEO mode To reach the head end, 100W/100W+ establishes a communication link with a CPU. In the event communications are lost with the host CPU, the 100WP/100WP+ searches for a nearby link. The ERT establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages. 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT Module Geo Mode 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module geo mode reduces infrastructure requirements by improving network coverage. The 100W+ an100WP+ ERT module geo mode technology addresses meters with isolated RF impairments allowing hard-to-read ERT modules to be read by a neighboring ERT module with good network coverage. The neighboring ERT module forwards the hard-to-read ERT module's message to the nearest data collection device. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 9 C H A P T E R 3 Initializing, Connecting, and Programming the ERT Module This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and start up the 100W/100W+, program and start up the 100WP/100WP+, and connect the 100W/100W+ or 100WP/100WP+ ERT module. Initializing the 100W/100W+ ERT Module Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W/100W+ with an approved handheld computer. Failure to initialize the ERT module may delay the initial reading up to one hour. To initialize the 100W/100W+ immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later (100W+ series modules require FDM version 3.2 or higher). FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004) FC300 with SRead For normal activation, connect the 100W/100W+ to the water meter register. The ERT module polls for a register every hour. The 100W/100W+ automatically activates after the ERT module detects a register. 100W/100W+ Encoder ERT Module Start-up The 100W/100W+ automatically:
Detects the connected register type at the top of the hour, exits factory mode, and enters run mode
(programming is not required for the 100W/100W+ to initiate run mode in the default mobile mode). Detects an Itron Leak Sensor. 100W/100W+ encoder programming is required to:
Change the operation mode (for example, to change the ERT module from the default mobile mode to fixed network mode). Enter a utility ID or lock type. To enter an E-Coder 8-digit driver. Commission security Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM to verify the ERT module is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check ERT will:
Generate an immediate register read. Align the 100W/100W+'s time with the handheld's time. Important Periodically dock or cradle the handheld computer or mobile reader to keep the time current. Verify communication with the Leak Sensor. Check for tamper flags.

Verify communication with the Leak Sensor. Check for tamper flags. Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector The inline connector system easily allows a separation between the ERT module and meter register and provides for general maintenance or system troubleshooting (see Using an Inline Connector on page 39). Connecting to a Meter Register Using a Cable You may connect the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module to the water meter register using the 5-foot or 20-inch cable. Caution ERT module wire terminations must be properly sealed with a non-conductive gel material to prevent water intrusion (otherwise, this configuration should not be used in a pit box environment). Itron recommends the 5-foot or 20-inch cable configuration for OEM users only.

Caution ERT module wire terminations must be properly sealed with a non-conductive gel material to prevent water intrusion (otherwise, this configuration should not be used in a pit box environment). Itron recommends the 5-foot or 20-inch cable configuration for OEM users only. Required Materials E-9R 3M gel cap crimping tool Itron Splice Kit (OEM-0034-002) 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module with flying leads To install the Itron splice kit 1. Push the corresponding register and ERT module wires as far as possible into the connector. Caution Do not strip insulation from the ends of the wires before inserting them into the connector. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 41 Using the Itron Splice Kit 2. Carefully place the connector and wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Make sure the wires remain fully inserted in the gel-cap connector. 3. Crimp the connector by squeezing the handles until the connector cap is fully seated. Continue to apply pressure for three seconds. 4. A connector is crimped properly when the top of the movable yellow center (1) is flush with the top of the connector body (2). Warning Crimping the connector forces some sealant out of connector. The sealant protects the inside of the connector against insects, moisture, and other contaminants. The sealant may cause minor eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Contact Itron Support for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

The Itron armor cable provides a layer of protection for the module's cable jacket. Itron cable armor is available in 5-foot sections. Warning Itron armor cable is stainless steel and may have sharp edges. Use caution when you are installing the armor cable. Important If you remove the inline connector from the ERT module to install the armor cable, you must use an Itron handheld to reprogram the ERT module using FDM Endpoint Tools. Perform a Check Endpoint function (with in FDM Endpoint Tools) after you reprogram the ERT module to verify communication with the meter register. Required Materials The following materials are required to install the Itron cable armor. 5-foot Itron cable armor Electrical tape
(Optional) Scissors To install the Itron cable armor 1. Remove the ERT module from the pit. Note If it is possible in your field installation, keep the ERT module connected to the register. 2. Cut a two to three inch strip of electrical tape. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 44 Using the Itron Cable Armor 3. Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the ERT module cable near the inline connector. 4. Beginning over the installed electrical tape, twist the Itron cable armor onto the ERT module cable using a right-handed twist. Important You must twistnot wrapthe cable armor onto the ERT module cable. Wrapping the cable armor can cause the stainless steel jacket to warp. Warning You must begin wrapping the cable armor over portion of the cable protected by the electrical tape. If you do not begin to wrap the cable armor over the protected portion of the ERT module cable, a cut cable could cause an ERT module/register communication failure. 5. Continue to twist the cable armor onto the ERT module cable until the cable armor covers the entire cable. Warning You must continue to wrap the cable armor onto the cable protected by the electrical tape. If you do not twist the cable armor over the protected portion of the cable, you cut initiate a cut cable and cause and ERT module/register communication failure. 6. Remove any leftover materials from the customer premises. Discard or recycle leftover materials. TDC-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 45 A P P E N D I X D Troubleshooting The following information is provided to help you troubleshoot issues related to the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules. The following table describes possible issues and provides suggested actions to resolve the issue. Issue Cannot program the ERT module. Action Check the programming device and software version. Program ERT modules using the FC300 handheld computer running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software. An ERT module that is not programmed will not transmit an SCM/SCM+. Reprogram the ERT module and perform a reread. If an ERT module is not initially programmed, it will not bubble-up and listen for an SCM/SCM+. An encoder ERT module that has set the Last Good Read flag will cause an Invalid Read to display in the FDM Consumption field. Consider reprogramming the ERT module for Hard-to-read (H2R) mode. This increases the output power to Fixed Network levels. Note Hard-to-read mode will reduce battery life. Perform a Check ERT and verify the ERT module is in FN mode. If the CCU's pathway is obstructed, consider including an 8-channel repeater. Systems that utilize Fixed Network v4.0 software and a CCU100 may require a Repeater 100. Soft boot the handheld by pressing and holding buttons A and B until the screen fades. Release the buttons and allow the handheld to reboot. Cannot read the ERT module. The encoder ERT module is reporting an invalid read. Marginal readability due to water ERT module location
(for example, an ERT module deep inside a pit). The ERT module in a Fixed Network is not reporting. The handheld programmer is locked up and button presses produce no response.
