These documents and others can be accessed and viewed on https://products.itron.com. Cellular 500G Module Technical Reference Guide Cellular 500GSpec Sheet Field Deployment Manager (FDM)Field Representative Guide Field Deployment Manager (FDM)Tools Configuration Guide Field Deployment Manager (FDM)Tools Mobile Application Guide Gas Devices Ordering Guide OpenWay Collection Manager Device Interface Guide Security System security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the collection device and the Cellular 500G Module. There are two fundamental security processes used in the Itron Security Manager to ensure system communication confidentiality and validity. Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the Cellular 500G 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. Data transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256 encryption. The Cellular 500G Module supports the security model found in the GenX solution for both reading and programming. If the Cellular 500G Modules are shipped without security enabled (ready to secure), the utility canat a later dateconfigure the Cellular 500G Modules for ISM enhanced security. Important! Modules ordered pre-programmed with security injected and specified as Zero Touch Deployment require that the installer rotates the wriggler five (5) times to activate the Cellular 500G Module if the Cellular 500G Module is installed in a location with little or no gas flow. Transmission Modes This section describes the various modes available for the Cellular 500Gmodules. Note: Neither an ISEDnor an FCC license is required to read the Cellular 500G Modules. September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 7 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 1 Introduction The module supports 5, 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals and provides storage and reporting for up to 62 days of 15-minute interval data and associated event data, or 8 months of hourly interval data. Note: Interval data options are dependent on the Cellular 500G Module's firmware version. The module is designed to transmit 3 times a day with a 20-year battery life. 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. 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 on rooftops or in sub-basements). Highlighted Features The following sections describe highlighted features in theItron gas modules (these features vary by module type and installed firmware). Gas Day Take Note: Gas Day Take functionality is dependent on the module firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 10. Gas Day Take (GDT) is critical to many natural gas utilities. GDT allows utilities to manage deregulated gas purchases. While daily GDT reads can be used for various operations within the utility, the primary time constrained business operation is to daily balance deregulated (transport) customers. GDT requires GDT data from a percentage (typically a maximum of 10%) of the utility's customers at 9:00 AM Central Clock Time (CCT). All collected data must be prepared and presented to deregulated marketers and customers by 11:00 AM CCT to support the gas utilitys deregulated tariff. If a deregulated marketer or customer under- or over-burns what they nominated for a given day, they may pay a daily penalty. Customers require the previous days GDT data to make adjustments to their next day nomination to avoid penalties. September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 8 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 1 Introduction Local Auditing Note: Local auditing functionality is dependent on the Cellular 500G Module's firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 10. The 500G module supports local data auditing of installation programming. Local auditing features the listed characteristics. Supports writing data (in both manufacturing and by FDM) to the Cellular 500G Module to support future installation programming auditing. Reading the auditing data is supported locally. Auditing parameters include FDM User ID, number of dials, meter drive rate, unit of measure, module count rate, rollover, and PComp. Time stamping of auditing parameters. Log access via COSEM only. Low Battery Event/Alarm Note: For Cellular 500G Modules, low-battery functionality is dependent on the firmware version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 10. The Cellular 500G Module's low-battery events are flagged when the device reaches a 10% of battery life remaining state. The event triggers an alarm configurable for asynchronous delivery to the head end system. Module High Flow Event Note: High Flow event functionality is dependent on the Cellular 500GModule firmware version. High Flow is a configurable event/alarm that can alert a utility of an excessive flow of gas to avoid potential hazardous events. The High Flow threshold can be configured using FDM Tools.

Page 11 of 59 2Programming Caution: You must program the Cellular 500G Module before use. Programming Itron modules requires an understanding of:
Your meter's drive rate and the number of dials The drive rate and number of dials is important for programming the Cellular 500G Module to count correctly and roll over to zero at the correct time. For example, a four-
dial, 2 cubic-feet meter configuration will count two cubic-feet for each rotation and roll over to zero after 9999.99 where the ones place is equivalent to 100 cubic-feet. How your system interprets the meter reading Some systems modify the consumption reading with the collection software. Other times, the billing system is used to make modifications. If modifications are made in both systems, issues may cause consumption reading errors. Program the 500G cellular module using an approved programming device loaded with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software version 4.4 or later. To enable enhanced security and for more complete programming information, see the Field Deployment Manager (FDM) Tools Mobile Application Guide. Important! Modules ordered pre-programmed with security injected and specified as Zero Touch Deployment require the installer to rotate the wriggler five (5) times to activate the Cellular 500G Module if installing in a location with little or no gas flow. Standard Configuration Cellular 500G Modules are capable of configurations that reduce battery life. Standard battery life is based on the following configuration:
Hourly interval data Interrogations of three times per day 60-second receiver wake up Five firmware downloads over the life of the Cellular 500G Module Network management and security overhead set to default timing RF at capacity (2,000 maximum per cell) Average of one two-way command/response per week September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 12 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 2 Programming Programming Program the meter drive rate into the Cellular 500G Module using a compatible programming device. 1. Verify that you have the correct programming for your application: Mobile High-Power Mode, Mobile/Handheld Mode, or Hard-to-read Mobile/Handheld Mode. 2. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target module. 3. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the programming device. 4. Read or Check the Cellular 500G Module using a compatible reading device. If the read result is higher than the number programmed in step 2, the Cellular 500G Module is counting correctly. If the read result is not higher than the number programmed in step 2, replace the Cellular 500G Module. Itron Programs and Software Variables This section defines and clarifies possible system variables you may encounter in programming modules. Field Deployment Manager (FDM) The following tables illustrate various FDM programming configurations and the endpoint response to each setting. September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 13 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 2 Programming September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 14 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 2 Programming Programming Example Endpoint programmed for 6 dial, 1000 cubic feet CCF. 1. Enter the initial index read. For this example, the initial read is 123456 where 6 = 600 cubic feet. After the initial programming, an endpoint read will result in a reading of 1234560 where the least significant digit is in 10's of cubic feet. Since counting is with a drive rate of 1000 cubic feet and the reading is transmitted in 10's of cubic feet, the last two digits of the reading will not change. 2. Program the endpoint to 123456. 3. Read the endpoint. The result should be 1234560 with the zero added to put the reading in 10's of cubic feet. 4. Add one count. The result should be 1234660. Notice that the last two digits of 60 do not change. Mercury X-Blank Options Endpoints (modules) can be programmed with one of the Mercury X-Blank options. There are 1, 2, 3, and 4 blank option available. Blank options are set up as a what-you-see-is-
what-you-get (WYSIWYG) configuration. The values are not set in cubic feet or cubic meter standards. The Mercury X-Blank options are used in configurations where the system receives pulses from a corrector or instrument that can change pulse values and has configurable display digits. The Mercury-X Blank options allow users to program the endpoint to match the configuration of the corrector or instrument. September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc. Page 15 of 59 Cellular 500GModule Direct Mount Installation Guide 2 Programming Check Endpoint Functions The FDM Check Endpoint function triggers users to input the number of dials and drive rate if a Check Endpoint is requested for an endpoint programmed for 5, 6, or 7-dial meter configurations. The request to input the dial and drive rate information happens only if the system has more than one option using the same count rate and rollover variable enabled in their FDM business unit. Note: Itron recommends that users only enable the configurations used by your business unit. Having only one meter configuration option enabled (with the endpoint variable being checked in the FDM business unit) eliminates the need to enter the number of dials. Field Collection System (FCS) (Mobile Mode Only) Since the Endpoint Translation Code is based on the Read Type Code and the Endpoint Type, changing from a 40-series endpoint to a 100-series endpoint can cause the reading to be truncated differently. If you are having issues with your reading after a change out, check your Read Type Codes and Endpoint Translation Codes. OpenWay CollectionManager (OWCM) The OpenWayCollection Manager (OWCM)collects the raw reading and passes it on without making any formatting changes. September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc.

Module configuration with the meter is dependent on your system application. See the Elster American meter configuration documentation. Meter Installation 1. Remove the four index cover screws and the index cover from the Elster American residential meter. Alternate screw removal following the numbered pattern in the photo. 2. Examine the mounting screws. If they are 5/8 inch long and not corroded, keep them to install the module assembly to the meter. If the screws are not the correct length or if the screws are corroded, discard. 3. Unscrew one index mounting screw completely. Hold one hand under the index to catch the screw. While you remove the other mounting screw, pull the index away from the meter to keep the index backplate against the back of the screw. Remove the screw completely after the index is free of the meter. 4. Set the index aside. You will mount the index to the module later in this procedure. 5. Verify that the index mounting screws are 3/16 inch long and not corroded. If the screws are the correct length and not corroded, retain for later use. If you discarded the original screws, use the correct replacement screws. For replacement screw information, see September 26, 2022 815-0785-00 REV003 Itron, Inc.
