100G Datalogging Installation Guide - Direct Mount 1
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 direct-mount 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 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 transmits in one of three modes:
• Fixed Network Mode In this mode, a 100G Datalogging Gas Endpoint transmits a
high-powered RF message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250
milliwatts or +24dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.
• Mobile and Handheld Mode In this mode, a 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 In this mode, a 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.
