2.4ZR OpenWay Range Extender Configuration Overview
Itron's handheld FC200 or FC300 and an Itron programming magnet are used to configure and audit the 2.4ZR
OpenWay Range Extender. The programming magnet is briefly held over the range extender's bar code
(swiped) to cause the range extender to search for the handheld device.
The magnet swipe's effect is dependent on the range extender's current operating mode. If the magnet swipe
occurs during programming/audit operations with the handheld, the magnet swipe is ignored. If the magnet
swipe occurs during the installation window for gas modules, the range extender closes the installation
window and gives a visual indication the range extender is installing gas modules. If the range extender is
swiped at any other time, the range extender first searches for a handheld computer. If the range extender does
not find a handheld, it will:
1. If the range extender was not previously joined to an electric meter, the range extender will start the
process to join an electric meter.
or
2. If the range extender was joined to an electric meter, the range extender re-establishes the connection and
opens an installation window for gas modules.
