TDC-0909-000 100W Datalogging Endpoint Installation Guide 5
Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to initialize the 100W datalogging endpoint and
connect the endpoint to the water meter register. The 100W initializes immediately when
the endpoint is programmed with an approved handheld computer or the endpoint
recognizes the meter register and activates itself after connection to a register.
Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W with an approved
handheld computer. Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial
reading up to 1 hour.
To initialize the 100W
To initialize the 100W immediately, use one of the following handheld computers
running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later.
FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-
004)
FC300 with SRead
For normal activation, connect the 100W to the water meter register. The endpoint
polls for a register every hour. After a register is detected, the 100W automatically
activates.
Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector
The inline connector system easily allows a separation of the endpoint and meter register
and provides for general maintenance or system troubleshooting (see Using an Inline
Connector on page 33).
Connecting to a Meter Register Using a 5-foot Cable
The 100W may be connected to the water meter register using the 5-foot cable.
Caution The wire terminations must be properly sealed with a non-conductive
gel material to prevent water intrusion (otherwise, this configuration should not
be used in a pit box environment). Itron recommends the 5-foot cable
configuration for OEM users only.
