100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect Gas Endpoint
Itron 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect 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 Remote Disconnect endpoints have the
same increased output power as the first generation 100G Gas endpoints for greater RF
transmission distance. The 100G direct-mount Remote Disconnect endpoint reads and
transmits a Standard Consumption Message (SCM) with magnetic-tamper and tilt-tamper
data. Datalogging functionality provides increased benefits by storing up to 40 days of
hourly data.
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 100G Gas
Remote Disconnect Endpoint on the Itron METRIS 250 meter.
Transmission Modes
The 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect 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 Remote Disconnect 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 The 100G Datalogging Remote Disconnect 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
Remote Disconnect 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.
