Installation Guide

Note: Interval data functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
In Mobile Mode, the module provides 960 buckets of hourly interval data and can be set to
transmit in Mobile and Handheld Mode, Mobile High Power Mode, or Hard to Read Mode.
Mobile High Power Mode. The module transmits a high-powered RF message every
60 seconds. In Mobile High Power Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
Mobile and Handheld Mode. The module transmits a medium-powered RF message
every 15 seconds. In Mobile and Handheld Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mode. The module transmits a high-powered RF message
every 30 seconds. In Hard to Read Mode, the expected battery life decreases to 15
years in this mode. The hard to read mobile mode should only be used for
exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed in sub-basements).
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. Cellular 500W Pit Modules feature robust
algorithms that provide leak and reverse flow detection.
(Optional) Leak Sensor Installation
The optional Leak Sensor analyzes water flow sound patterns to detect water leaks.
Leak sensor analysis data is uploaded to the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring
online portal. Systems with optional Leak Sensor devices access leak information
through their utility-specific, secure mlogonline portal. For more information, see For
more information, see Leak Sensor Installation on page 33 and the mlogonline
Network Leak Monitoring System User Guide.
(Optional) Telemetry devices
An optional remote water disconnect valve provides water utilities with a non-intrusive
means of managing customer disconnects and reconnects that traditionally required
on-site visits. The remotely-controlled disconnect valve helps lower the utility's costs
by eliminating routine move-in/move-out service calls. For more information, see
Remote Disconnect Valve Installation on page 30.
Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires a module with enhanced
security enabled. To learn more about enabling enhanced security, see the Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) Tools Mobile Application Guide .
