TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 2 Proprietary and Confidential C H A P T E R 2 About the 100W Endpoint The 100W endpoints are high-power radio frequency automatic meter reading (AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data the endpoint then transmits to a data collection device. The endpoint operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes. The 100W endpoints ship in Factory Mode. The endpoints acquire and transmit meter register data within one hour following register connection. The endpoint transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized with a handheld computer during installation (see Initializing the 100W Endpoint on page 6). Caution Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour. The 100W endpoint will default to a consumption value of 0 if the endpoint is not programmed with Itron's Field Deployment Manager (FDM). The 100W endpoint supports 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 endpoints feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. 100W endpoints feature the same robust features as Itron's 60 series water endpoints 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 60 Series Endpoints see https://extranet-
kc.itron.com/Water%20Endpoints/Detecting%20Leaks%20and%20Reverse%20Flow%20with%2060%20 Series%20Endpoints.pdf. Communication Error Indicators. Last Good Read. The cable is cut. Note Last Good Read may be an indicator of a damaged register. Extended Cut Cable. The Last Good Read flag was set in the last 24 hours (Fixed Network [FN]
mode) or the last 40 days (Mobile Mode). TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 3 About the 100W Endpoint 100W and 100WP Models 100W Endpoint Description 100W Encoder, integral connector Itron Part Number ERW-1300-101 100W Encoder with Leak Sensor, integral connector ERW-1300-102 100W Encoder, 5-foot cable 100W Encoder with Leak Sensor, 5-foot cable 100W Encoder, 20-inch cable 100W Encoder with Leak Sensor, 20-inch cable 100WP Pulser, integral connector 100WP Pulser with Leak Sensor, integral connector 100WP Pulser, 5-foot cable 100WP Pulser with Leak Sensor, 5-foot cable 100WP Pulser, 20-inch cable 100WP Pulser with Leak Sensor, 20-inch cable Battery Life ERW-1300-103 ERW-1300-104 ERW-1300-105 ERW-1300-106 ERW-1300-107 ERW-1300-108 ERW-1300-109 ERW-1300-110 ERW-1300-111 ERW-1300-112 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. To proactively indicate the battery has reached a <10% useful battery life, a Low Battery flag is set to indicate impending battery failure. 100W and 100WP Transmission Modes The 100W endpoint 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 water endpoint transmits a high-powered NIM RF message every six minutes and a contingency SCM RF message every minute. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a medium-powered SCM RF message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a high-powered SCM RF message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint 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 battery life is significantly affected in Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. You may use the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range. An FCC license is not required to read 100W endpoint. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 4 Proprietary and Confidential About the 100W Endpoint 100W Operating Modes 1. Factory Mode 100Ws ship from the factory in Factory Mode. The endpoint's transmitter is off. The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100W encoder models 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 reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode (100W only). 2. Run Mode 100W normal operation mode. The 100W 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 transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. Program FN mode with a programming device to configure NIM mode. 100WP Operating Modes The 100WP has three standard operating modes. 1. Factory Mode 100WPs ship from the factory in Factory Mode. The endpoint's transmitter is off. The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100WP encoder models 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 100WP reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode and defaults to a zero consumption. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 5 Proprietary and Confidential About the 100W Endpoint 2. Run Mode 100WPs normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages
(SCM) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100WP transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 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. If an endpoint installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM or NIM messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the endpoint, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command (for example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 6 Proprietary and Confidential C H A P T E R 3 Connecting, Initializing, and Programming This chapter provides the instructions to connect the 100W or 100WP, to initialize the 100W endpoint, connect the endpoint to the meter register, and program the 100WP endpoint. The 100W endpoint initializes immediately when the endpoint is programmed with an approved handheld computer or the endpoint recognizes the meter register and activates itself after connection to a register. Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W with an approved handheld computer. Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour. Initializing the 100W To initialize the 100W immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later. FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004) FC300 with SRead For normal activation, connect the 100W to the water meter register. The endpoint polls for a register every hour. The 100W automatically activates after the endpoint detects a register. Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector The inline connector system easily allows a separation between the endpoint and meter register and provides for general maintenance or system troubleshooting (see Using an Inline Connector on page 35). Connecting to a Meter Register Using a Cable You may connect the 100W endpoint to the water meter register using the 5-foot or 20-inch cable. Caution The 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 cable configuration for OEM users only.

Using an Extension Cable Order the 25-foot inline connector extension cable assembly (CFG-0151-401) to extend the 100W with the inline connector. Verifying 100W Endpoint Operation Use one of the following handheld computers to verify consumption:
FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004) FC300 with SRead Notes Each handheld radio requires special setup and configuration parameters to successfully read and program 100W products. Refer to the respective meter reading application for specific instructions. When comparing the actual register value to that reported by the 100W endpoint, please keep in mind the endpoint's consumption value is updated once an hour when it is in a Run Mode. Caution Do not use ReadOne Pro, FS2PN, FS3PN, or FC200 readers to read the 100W endpoint. These readers do not operate their receivers long enough or at the right frequency to reliably capture a 100W endpoint transmission. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 9 Proprietary and Confidential C H A P T E R 4 Installing the 100W Endpoint Install the 100W endpoint using one of the following methods:
100W and 100WP Mounting Options Rod mount Wall mount Base mount Shelf Mount Through-Lid The endpoint mounts on a 1/2 inch outside diameter rod. The endpoint mounts to a wall or other vertical surface. The endpoint mounts on a horizontal, flat surface. The endpoint mounts in pre-fabricated pockets or shelves within the pit lid using a shelf mount accessory kit. The endpoint mounts in lids with hole sizes from 1-3/4 inches to 2-inches. Through-lid installation requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-1300-004). For water pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on two factors: the lid material and the current lid configuration. Metal lids may require a through-lid remote mount antenna for optimal endpoint radio performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above. The 100W endpoint is temperature rated from -20 C to +60 C. Do not install the 100W endpoint in locations that may exceed the temperature rating. Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and battery life. Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors. 100W Endpoint Accessories 100W/100WP Mounting Accessories Accessory Remote Antenna Kit (mobile applications only) Shelf Mount Kit Pit Lid Mounting Kit Part Number CFG-0900-001 CFG-1300-001 CFG-1300-004 100W Endpoints with Integral Connectors If 100W endpoints with integral connectors (ERW-1300-X0X) and the registers 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 100W endpoint, but can be ordered from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the endpoint side) in the field for up to one year. Warning If a dual-port 100W endpoint is installed but the Leak Sensor is not attached, the environmental cap (MSC-0019-005) must remain in place on the blue connector (Leak Sensor connector) to protect the connector from damage. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 10 Installing the 100W Endpoint To install a cable tie to the connector 1. Thread the cable tie through the security holes in the connector and the protective cover. 2. Thread the cable tie end through the eye of the cable tie. 3. Pull the cable tie tight to secure it (as shown). 4. Remove the excess cable tie. Rod Mount Installation 100W endpoints can mount below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 1/2-inch OD rod. The example installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod. For more information, visit www.itron.com and reference the Water Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002). 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. Failure to use 1/2-inch rod and follow instructions may result in an unreliable installation. Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W using the wall mount procedure:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and battery life. Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 11 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W Endpoint 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 endpoint bottom and side view. To install the 100W 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 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 5. 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. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 12 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W Endpoint 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. 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. If the rod is 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. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 13 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W Endpoint 6. The top of the rod must be 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the lid. 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. You may secure the endpoint to the rod with a self-drilling screw through the hole in the top of the 100W rod mount cavity. The screw mounting hole is shown in the following product image. 7. Installation is complete when the endpoint is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. The endpoint must not contact the pit structure or lid. Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the endpoint when the lid is replaced. There must be a 1 to 2-
inch space between the top of the endpoint and the bottom of the pit lid. If the 100W endpoint is installed too high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust as necessary. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 14 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W Endpoint Wall Mount Installation Select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the endpoint in an upright position. Locate the endpoint as high as possible. To mount the endpoint to the wall in a water pit box, select a mounting location on the inside of the pit box and try to maintain a distance of one to two inches from the bottom of the pit box lid. Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W using the wall mount procedure:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and battery life. Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors. The 100W is suitable for use with up to 300 feet of Itron approved cable. Required Tools and Hardware Itron 100W Shelf Mount Kit To install the 100W endpoint using the wall mount procedure 1. Select a vertical surface in the pit box or on a wall (for example, an endpoint mounted in a basement). 2. Position the endpoint vertically so the top of the endpoint is between 1 and 2-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 pilot hole size. TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 15 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W Endpoint 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. 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. 7. Holding the 100W endpoint in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole. Use the bottom mounting hole as a template. 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.

TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 2 Proprietary and Confidential C H A P T E R 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. The endpoint transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized with a handheld computer during installation (see Connecting, Initializing, and Programming on page 7). Caution Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour. The 100WP-R endpoint will default to a consumption value of 0 if the endpoint is not programmed with Itron's Field Deployment Manager (FDM). The 100W-R and 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 and 100WP-Rs feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. 100W endpoints feature the same robust features as Itron's 60 series water endpoints 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 60 Series Endpoints (https://extranet-
kc.itron.com/Water%20Endpoints/Detecting%20Leaks%20and%20Reverse%20Flow%20with%2060%20 Series%20Endpoints.pdf). Note The 100WP-R endpoint will not report reverse flow. Incremental encoded registers do not provide a distinguishing signal while flowing in reverse. Communication Error Indicators. Last Good Read. The cable is cut. Note Last Good Read may be an indicator of a damaged register. Extended Cut Cable. The Last Good Read flag was set in the last 24 hours (FN mode) or the last 40 days (Mobile Mode). 100W-R and 100WP-R Models 100W Remote Endpoint Description 100W-R Encoder Remote, 10-inch flying lead 100W-R Encoder Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead 100WP-R Pulser Remote, 10-inch flying lead 100WP-R Pulser Remote with Leak Sensor, 10-inch flying lead Itron Part Number ERW-1300-113 ERW-1300-114 ERW-1300-115 ERW-1300-116 TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 3 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. Battery life is 15 years for the 100WP-R when endpoint cable lengths exceed 150 feet. 100W-R and 100WP-R Transmission Modes The 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints 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 water endpoint transmits a high-powered NIM RF message every six minutes and a contingency SCM RF message every minute. Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a medium-powered SCM RF message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a high-powered SCM RF message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint 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 battery life is significantly affected in Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. You may use the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range. An FCC license is not required to read 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints. 100W-R Operating Modes 1. Factory Mode 100W-R endpoints ship from the factory in Factory Mode. The endpoint's transmitter is off. The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100W-R encoder models 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-R reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode (100W-R only). TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 4 Proprietary and Confidential About the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 2. Run Mode 100W-R endpoints 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. Program FN mode with a programming device to configure NIM mode. 100WP-R Operating Modes The 100WP-R endpoint has three standard operating modes. 1. Factory Mode 100WP-R endpoints ship from the factory in Factory Mode. The endpoint's transmitter is off. The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100WP-R endpoint encoder models 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 100WP-R reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode and defaults to a zero consumption. 2. Run Mode 100WP-R endpoints normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages
(SCM) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM, the 100WP-R default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100WP-R default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100WP-R transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device. TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 5 Proprietary and Confidential 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. If an endpoint installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM or NIM messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the endpoint, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command (for example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit.

TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 8 Proprietary and Confidential Initializing, Connecting, and Programming Programming 100W-R The 100W-R endpoints 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. 100WP-R Use an FC200SR or FC300 with SRead handheld running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software and your utility's programming configuration file to program the 100WP-R. Note Do not program the 100W-R or 100WP-R endpoint until it is connected to the water meter register. Refer to the Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934) for programming information. After programming, the endpoint enters the selected operating mode and begins bubbling-up specified messages at the selected rate. Caution The FC200SR and FC300 with SRead are the only handhelds that support programming for the 100WP-R endpoint. The endpoint and programmer should be a minimum of 12-inches apart while programming. Do not place the programmer antenna directly on the endpoint. Verifying 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints Operation Use one of the following handheld computers to verify the endpoint is correctly recording consumption data. FC200SR FC300 with SRead Caution Each handheld radio requires special setup and configuration parameters to successfully read and program 100-series products. Refer to the respective meter reading application for specific instructions. Do not use ReadOne Pro, FS2PN and FS3PN readers to read the 100WP-R. These readers do not operate their receivers long enough to reliably capture a 100WP-R transmission. Refer to the user guide for your programming device (see Related Documents on page 2) and data collection application for more information.

Strip 1/2-inch of insulation from the end of the brown, gray, and yellow wires. 4. Place the endpoint on the mounting bracket and route the yellow, gray, and brown wires through the opening. Note A gasket is not required. TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 31 Proprietary and Confidential Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints 5. Install four Torx-head mounting screws (Itron Part Number SCR-0010-005) as shown below. Hand tighten each screw. 6. Connect the endpoint wires to the register screw terminals following the 100WP-R pulser to the Elster/AMCO meter register wire connections, (see Connecting 100WP-R to a Remote Meter Register on page 8). After connecting the wires, carefully tuck the connectors into the endpoint housing. Tighten all screws securely. Caution Install the wires around the screws in a clockwise direction (as shown) or the wires may come out from under the screw heads as you tighten them. Also, verify insulation is NOT compressed under the screw head, or the wire may not make good contact. 7. Install the module and mounting bracket on the meter register adapter collar. 8. Replace the hollow pin (1) you removed in step 1.

Required Materials E-9R 3M gel cap crimping tool Gel cap connectors 1. Push two 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. 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. TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 33 Using Gel-cap Connectors 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).
