Before You Begin How This Document is Organized This document is organized into the following chapters: Chapter 1. Before You Begin Description Information about this publication 2. About the 100W endpoint Overview of 100W endpoint installation. 3. Initializing and Connecting the 100W endpoint Instructions to initialize the 100W endpoint and connect the endpoint to the water meter. 4.
CHAPTER 2 About the 100W Endpoint The 100W endpoints are high-power radio frequency automatic meter reading (AMR) devices that attach to water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data the endpoint then transmits to a data collection device. The endpoint operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes. The 100W endpoints ship in Factory Mode. The endpoints acquire and transmit meter register data within one hour following register connection.

About the 100W Endpoint 100W Operating Modes 1. Factory Mode 100Ws ship from the factory in Factory Mode. The endpoint's transmitter is off. The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. 100W encoder models attempt to read the register every hour. Last good read and cut tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected. If the 100W reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode (100W only). 2. Run Mode 100W normal operation mode.
About the 100W Endpoint 2. Run Mode 100WP’s normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM) or network interval message (NIM). For SCM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. For NIM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100WP transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device. 3.
CHAPTER 3 Connecting, Initializing, and Programming This chapter provides the instructions to connect the 100W or 100WP, to initialize the 100W endpoint, connect the endpoint to the meter register, and program the 100WP endpoint. The 100W endpoint 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.
Connecting, Initializing, and Programming To connect the 100W to the register Connect the 100W wires to the register screw terminals according to the following table.
Connecting, Initializing, and Programming Connecting the 100WP to a Remote Meter Register Connect the wires from the endpoint to the register according to the following table.
CHAPTER 4 Installing the 100W Endpoint Install the 100W endpoint using one of the following methods: 100W and 100WP Mounting Options Rod mount The endpoint mounts on a 1/2 inch outside diameter rod. Wall mount The endpoint mounts to a wall or other vertical surface. Base mount The endpoint mounts on a horizontal, flat surface. Shelf Mount The endpoint mounts in pre-fabricated pockets or shelves within the pit lid using a shelf mount accessory kit.
Installing the 100W Endpoint To install a cable tie to the connector 1. Thread the cable tie through the security holes in the connector and the protective cover. 2. Thread the cable tie end through the eye of the cable tie. 3. Pull the cable tie tight to secure it (as shown). 4. Remove the excess cable tie. Rod Mount Installation 100W endpoints can mount below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 1/2-inch OD rod. The example installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod.
Installing the 100W Endpoint Required Tools and Hardware Hammer 1/2-inch outside diameter rod (you may use either a square or round rod) Tape measure Rod-driving tool (optional) Rod cutting tool The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W endpoint bottom and side view. To install the 100W endpoint on a rod 1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions. 2.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of the pit as possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure the rod remains vertical. Note The rod shown has an end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground. 5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the pit lid.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 6. The top of the rod must be 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the lid. Place the endpoint on the rod. Completely insert the rod into the endpoint's rod mount hole. Do not force the endpoint onto the rod. If the endpoint does not slide freely on the rod, remove the endpoint and examine the endpoint rod hole and rod for burrs or obstructions. You may secure the endpoint to the rod with a self-drilling screw through the hole in the top of the 100W rod mount cavity.
Installing the 100W Endpoint Wall Mount Installation Select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the endpoint in an upright position. Locate the endpoint as high as possible. To mount the endpoint to the wall in a water pit box, select a mounting location on the inside of the pit box and try to maintain a distance of one to two inches from the bottom of the pit box lid.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 5. For concrete-type pit boxes, it may be necessary to use a screw anchor. Choose an anchor appropriate for a #10 pan head screw. Caution Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. Over-tightening the mounting screws may break the endpoint mounting tabs. 6. Start a screw into the pilot hole. Using the top hole of the endpoint, set the endpoint over the screw head and slide it down so the screw is now at the top of the notch (as shown). Carefully tighten the screw until snug.
