TDC-0823-005 100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 1 1
Proprietary and Confidential
Itron 100G Datalogging gas endpoints are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter data to an
RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the endpoint. 100G Datalogging gas endpoints have
the same increased output power as the first generation 100G gas endpoints for greater RF transmission
distance. The 100G direct-mount endpoint reads and transmits a Standard Consumption Message (SCM) with
magnetic-tamper and tilt-tamper data. The Itron 100G Datalogging gas endpoint adds functionality by storing
up to 40 days of hourly data.
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 100G gas endpoint and the 100G
Datalogging gas endpoint on a wide variety of meters. This installation guide refers to both 100G endpoint
versions as the 100G Datalogging gas endpoint. Mechanical installation procedures are identical for both
modules. 100G Datalogging gas endpoint compatible meters are listed in the Meter Compatibility List.
Transmission Modes
The 100G Datalogging gas endpoint can be set to transmit in Fixed Network, Mobile and Handheld, or Hard
to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode.
Fixed Network Mode The 100G Datalogging gas endpoint transmits a high-powered RF message every
60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.
Mobile and Handheld Mode The 100G Datalogging gas endpoint transmits a medium-powered RF
message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is
20 years.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode The 100G Datalogging gas endpoint transmits a
high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm;
expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode
should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on roof tops or in
sub-basements).
An FCC license is not required to read 100G Datalogging gas endpoint.
