Linking to a CENTRON Meter
Important Prior to linking the range extender to a CENTRON meter:
Remember mounting is temporary at this time because the range extender may be moved.
Range extender joining to a handheld has the highest priority. If a handheld is present, the
range extender will join to that handheld.
The Itron 2.4ZR OpenWay Range Extender is not required to register to a specific
CENTRON meter. The range extender may join any CENTRON meter.
The range extender searches for CENTRON meters and attempts to join the meter with the
best signal quality. The meter with the best signal quality should typically be the CENTRON
meter on the same premise as the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module but it could be a different
meter depending on the relative locations of all nearby meters.
To initiate and verify the radio link to the CENTRON meter
1. To activate the radio joining process, hold the Itron magnet over the barcode on range extender label for
approximately five seconds. Remove the magnet. The range extender and magnet label arrows must be
pointing up.
2. The range extender first searches for a handheld network. This leads to an initial three blinks. If there is no
handheld, the range extender blinks three more times while it searches for the CENTRON network. If it
successfully joins the CENTRON network, it blinks five times. The blink sequence is three - three - five.
