Proprietary and Confidential
100WP Pulser Start-up
The 100WP enters Run mode by completing programming with FDM. Programming sets the appropriate
pulser parameters (initial consumption and Utility ID).
Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM to verify the
100WP is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check ERT will:
• Generate an immediate register read.
• Align the 100WP's time with the handheld's time.
Important Periodically dock or cradle the handheld computer or Mobile Reader to keep the time
current.
• Verify communication with the Leak Sensor.
• Check for tamper flags.
Verifying 100W and 100WP ERT Module Operation
Use one of the following handheld computers to verify consumption:
• FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004)
• FC300 with SRead
Notes
• Each handheld radio requires special setup and configuration parameters to successfully read and
program 100W and 100WP ERT module products. Refer to the respective meter reading
application for specific instructions.
• When comparing the actual register value to that reported by the 100W and 100WP ERT module,
please keep in mind the ERT module's consumption value is updated once an hour when it is in a
Run Mode.
Caution Do not use ReadOne Pro, FS2PN, FS3PN, or FC200 readers to read the 100W and
100WP ERT module. These readers do not operate their receivers long enough or at the right
frequency to reliably capture a 100W and 100WP ERT module transmission.
