Page 5 of 44 1Introduction The Cellular 500W Remote Module (ECW-1700-002) is a cellular radio frequency transmitting modules that attaches to water registers or meters to collect consumption usage, event, and alarm data. It is an IPV6-compliant endpoint designated to communicate over the Itrons OpenWay multi-purpose IoT solution: Network or the legacy ChoiceConnect Mobile platform. The Cellular 500Ws ship from the factory in Factory Mode, which prevents unwanted radio transmissions during transit. After installation and programming, the remote modules acquire and transmit meter or register data in accordance with the selected remote module parameter settings. The Cellular 500Ws support protection for a variety of meter manufacturer's registers. Refer to the Water Meter and Telemetry Module Compatibility Matrix for the list of supported meters and registers. Cellular 500Ws feature the following capabilities:
Datalogging. In Network Mode, the Cellular 500W provides 3,840 buckets of interval data configurable from 1 minute to 1 hour (for example, 160 days of hourly data or 40 days of 15 minute data). Note: Interval data functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11. In Mobile Mode, the module provides 960 buckets of hourly interval data and can be set to transmit in Mobile and Handheld Mode, Mobile High Power Mode, or Hard-to-Read Mode. Mobile High Power Mode. The module transmits a high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. In Mobile High Power Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years. October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc. Page 6 of 44 Cellular 500W Remote Module Installation Guide 1 Introduction Mobile and Handheld Mode. The module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. In Mobile and Handheld Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
(Optional) Hard-to-Read Mode. The module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. In Hard-to-Read Mode, the expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The Hard-to-Read Mobile Mode should only be used for exceptionally hard to read applications (such as meters installed in sub-basements). Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. Cellular 500Ws feature robust algorithms that provide leak and reverse flow detection.
(Optional) Leak Sensor The optional Leak Sensor analyzes water flow sound patterns to detect water leaks. Leak sensor analysis data is uploaded to the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring online portal. Systems with optional Leak Sensor devices access leak information through their utility-specific, secure mlogonline portal. For more information, see the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring System User Guide.
(Optional) Telemetry devices An optional remote water disconnect valve provides water utilities with a non-intrusive means of managing customer disconnects and reconnects that traditionally required on-site visits. The remotely-controlled disconnect valve helps lower the utility's costs by eliminating routine move-in/move-out service calls. For more information, see Remote Disconnect Valve Installation on page 33. Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires a module with enhanced security enabled. To learn more about enabling enhanced security, see the Field Deployment Manager (FDM)Tools Mobile Application Guide. Related Documents The following documents may also be useful to readers.

Page 7 of 44 Cellular 500W Remote Module Installation Guide 1 Introduction OpenWay Riva Water Products Ordering Guide Water Modules Ordering Guide Security Users have the option of enabling enhanced security in Cellular 500Ws. Itron Security Manager (ISM) is a feature of the OpenWay Network that ensures that certain Cellular 500W commands are controlled through secure radio communications between the handheld computer or Mobile Collector and the Cellular 500W . There are two fundamental security processes used in the OpenWaysystem to ensure confidentiality and validity of secured commands. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the Cellular 500W 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. Data transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256 encryption. Transmission Modes The Cellular 500W is an IPv6 Wisun compliant device that operates in Mobile Mode or Network Mode. Mobile Mode In Mobile Mode, the module transmits every nine seconds over multiple RF channels to report on:
meter register value cut cable or communication error event reverse flow (encoder version selected) system leak status low battery indicator Network Mode In Network Mode, the module reports four interrogation cycles daily. Each interrogation collects six hours of 3,840 buckets of interval and event data. Interval data is configurable from 1 minute to 1 hour (for example, 160 days of hourly data or 40 days of 15 minute data). Interval options are 5, 15, or 30 minutes. October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc. Page 8 of 44 Cellular 500W Remote Module Installation Guide 1 Introduction Note: Interval data configuration is dependent on the module's firmware version. See Firmware Functionality on page 11 for more information. The Cellular 500W also sends a local access beacon message every 60 seconds that allows users to gather contingency readings locally when needed. Caution: If you perform a switch to Network Mode or switch to Mobile Mode operation, it results in a loss of interval data. The Cellular 500W operates using FCC or ISED licensed spectrum defined by 3GPP ranging from Band 4 (744-787 MHz) and Band 13 (1710-2155) operation 612054. Operating Modes The Cellular 500W has the following operating modes. Factory Mode Remote modules 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. Remote modules will attempt to read the register every hour. Register Error Detected and Register Error alarm or event flags may be set when a register is not connected. If the Cellular 500W reads a connected register, the module automatically moves to Run Mode. Audit Mode Audit Mode reduces the normal read latency time associated with standard modes of operation and is often used after initial installation. This mode is useful in network installations where the normal bubble rate is very slow. Audit Mode remains active for 30 days and then reverts to the initial programmed mode. Audit Mode is intended to be used once. Run Mode Remote module normal operation mode. The remote module's transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption + messages (SCM+). SCM+ remote module default bubble-up rate is 10 seconds. October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc. Page 9 of 44 Cellular 500W Remote Module Installation Guide 1 Introduction Quiet Mode Meter manufacturers can configure the Cellular 500W for Quiet Mode after programming and direct mounting the Cellular 500W in a factory. The Cellular 500W is awakened from Quiet Mode and enters Run Mode in one of the following ways:
Counting two pulses. The pulses are counted internal to the Cellular 500W while it is in Quiet Mode. Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read using FDM. If a Cellular 500W installed in Quiet Mode is not bubbling up SCM+ messages, it may be due to zero consumption on the Cellular 500W, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-
way command (for example, perform a Read with FDM) before removing the unit. Battery Life The Cellular 500W is powered by a single non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries and has an expected battery life of 20 years, dependent on use case. Low Battery Cellular 500Ws include a low battery indicator that helps utilities proactively plan and manage field module replacements. Events and Alarms The events and alarms available to a Cellular 500W vary based on the mode it is operating in. Extended Alarm Flag This is retrievable with two-way communication. Register Error Flag The Register Error flag sets if the Register Error Detected flag is active for 24 hours. The Register Error Flag remains active for 40 days in Mobile Mode. Register Error Detected Register Error Detected indicates that the Cellular 500W is not communicating with the register/meter. The event or alarm flag automatically clears after the Cellular 500W receives a successful read from the register. Note: The Register Error Detected flag may be an indicator of a damaged register. Low Battery Warning October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc. Page 10 of 44 Cellular 500W Remote Module Installation Guide 1 Introduction The low battery warning allows the utility to easily identify which Cellular 500Ws are nearing end-of-life in a mixed population and gives the utility the opportunity to schedule replacement. The remote 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 Cellular 500W . Note: The low battery warning is a single flag that is set when the battery has less than 10% remaining capacity, which typically corresponds to 2 years of battery life remaining. Battery life is evaluated daily at midnight. Network Mode Note: Cellular 500W events and alarms are dependent on the module's firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11. The Cellular 500W reports the tampers available in Mobile Mode as well as extended meter alarms available from new solid-state and electronic meters connected to the Cellular 500W . The extended alarms include:
Empty pipe Temperature High flow Meter low battery Meter tampering Reverse flow Zero consumption For more information about the extended alarms, see the OpenWay Riva Collection Manager Device Interface Guide.

Page 12 of 44 2Initialization, Connection, andProgramming This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and connect the Cellular 500W to the meter or register. Cellular 500Ws must be connected to the register or meter before they can be installed. Requirements are based on the network system mode. The Cellular 500W 's auto-sensing technology eliminates the need to initialize the module at the time of installation. The module automatically detects the connected register type. Caution: To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the Cellular 500W with an approved handheld computer. Failure to initialize the module may delay the initial reading up to one hour. To initialize the Cellular 500W immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) version 4.4 or later. FC300SR handheld computer Itron Mobile Radio (IMR) connected to a user-supplied computer or Bluetooth device For normal activation, connect the Cellular 500W to the water meter register. The module polls for a register every hour and automatically activates after it detects a register. Programming Consider the following when the Cellular 500W is programmed:
The consumption values are not programmable. (Programmable parameters include values like ID and register type.) Programming the module will move the remote module into the specified operating mode. If the module is not programmed, the module will attempt to read the register every hour and will wake up in default Mobile Handheld Mode when a register is found. Use an FC300SR handheld or Itron Mobile Radio connected to a user-supplied computer or Bluetooth device running FDM Tools 4.4 or later and your utility's programming configuration file to program the module . Note: Do not program the module until it is connected to the water meter register. Refer to the Field Deployment Manager (FDM)Mobile Application Guide for programming information. After programming, the module enters the selected operating mode and begins bubbling-up specified messages at the selected rate. October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.

Page 40 of 44 5Troubleshooting This information will help you troubleshoot issues related to the Cellular 500W. The following table describes possible issues and provides suggested actions to resolve the issue. Issue Action Cannot program the Cellular 500W. Check the programming device and software version. Program Cellular 500W using an approved handheld computer running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) 4.4 or higher. Cannot read the Cellular 500W. A Cellular 500W that is not programmed does not transmit a SCM+. Reprogram the Cellular 500W and perform a reread. If a Cellular 500W is not initially programmed, it does not bubble up and listen for an SCM+. The Cellular 500W is reporting an invalid read. A Cellular 500W that has set the Register Error flag causes an Invalid Read to display in the FDM Consumption field. Marginal readability due to the Cellular 500W location (for example, a Cellular 500W deep inside a pit). The handheld programmer is locked up and button presses produce no response. Consider reprogramming the Cellular 500W for Hard-to-Read Mode. This increases the output to high power levels Note: This mode reduces battery life. Soft boot the handheld. Reference the documentation for your programmer. October 11, 2021 DRAFT 815-0618-00 REV 000 Itron, Inc.
