Installation Guide

■
Datalogging. In OpenWay Riva Network Mode, the Cellular 500W module provides 3,840
buckets of interval data configurable from 1 minute to 1 hour (for example, 160 days of hourly
data or 40 days of 15 minute data).
Note: Interval data functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 13.
■
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 modules feature robust
algorithms that provide leak and reverse flow detection.
■
(Optional) Leak Sensor
–
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 OLS devices access leak information through their utility-
specific, secure mlogonline portal. For more information, see 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.
Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires a module with enhanced security
enabled. To learn more about enabling enhanced security, see the Field Deployment
Manager Tools Mobile Application Guide .
