TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 7
Proprietary and Confidential
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.
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.
Initializing 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. The 100W automatically activates after the endpoint detects a register.
Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector
The inline connector system easily allows a separation between the endpoint and meter register and provides
for general maintenance or system troubleshooting (see Using an Inline Connector on page 35).
Connecting to a Meter Register Using a Cable
You may connect the 100W endpoint to the water meter register using the 5-foot or 20-inch 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.
