Check Endpoint Functions
The FDM Check Endpoint function triggers users to input the number of dials and drive rate if a
Check Endpoint is requested for an endpoint programmed for 5, 6, or 7-dial meter
configurations. The request to input the dial and drive rate information happens only if the system
has more than one option using the same count rate and rollover variable enabled in their FDM
business unit.
Note: Itron recommends that users only enable the configurations used by your business
unit. Having only one meter configuration option enabled (with the endpoint variable being
checked in the FDM business unit) eliminates the need to enter the number of dials.
Field Collection System (FCS) (Mobile Mode Only)
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay Riva network.
In FCS, a Read Type Code can be assigned to a meter session. The Read Type Code in
conjunction with the Endpoint Type is used to determine how the endpoint reading is formatted
using the Endpoint Translation table in FCS. The Endpoint Translation table is a configurable
table that is used to determine the truncation factor and multiplier for each reading. A default
Endpoint Translation is defined for each type of endpoint supported by FCS (ReadType of 00 for
each EndpointType). If the default Endpoint Translation is not formatting the read correctly, an
additional Endpoint Translation can be defined to properly format the read.
Since the Endpoint Translation Code is based on the Read Type Code and the Endpoint Type,
changing from a 40-series endpoint to a 100-series endpoint can cause the reading to be
truncated differently. If you are having issues with your reading after a change out, check your
Read Type Codes and Endpoint Translation Codes.
OpenWay Collection Manager Center
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay Riva network.
The OpenWay Operation Center (OWOC) collects the raw reading and passes it on without
making any formatting changes.
Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) Meter Data Management
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay Riva network.
The standard unit of measure (UOM) in IEE is cubic feet for gas endpoints. The reading passed
on by the gas endpoint is not in cubic feet if endpoints with 6 and 7-dial meter configurations are
programmed, so adjustments are required to set the correct unit of measure. If you are having
issues with your readings in IEE but your endpoint and meter index match, check your unit of
measure within IEE.
