Optional Remote Cellular 500W Disconnect Valve
Installation
This section describes installation of a remote Cellular 500W disconnect valve in the Cellular
500W system. The Cellular 500W module supports three valve states.
■
Connected. The water flow is open and flowing at 100% configured capacity.
■
Disconnected. The water flow is shut off with no water flowing. The remote water
disconnect valve provides the ability to remotely open (reconnect) the valve.
■
Restricted. The water is restricted and flowing at the configured installation flow.
The pit module automatically detects the presence of connected water disconnect devices within
22.5 minutes and begins reading disconnect valve data. To immediately detect the water
disconnect valve and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer
running FDM software.
The disconnect valve is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting
on the exterior of the house) pit module installations. Water disconnect devices are mounted on
a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the center telemetry
connector (blue) on the pit module. For more information, see Pit Module Mounting Accessories
on page 16.
Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires a pit module with enhanced security
enabled.
Installing the Remote Cellular 500W Disconnect Valve
The remote Cellular 500W disconnect valve ships from the supplier with the Itron cable installed.
See the manufacturer's installation instructions for the procedure to mount the disconnect valve
in the pipe close to the pit module.
Caution: Remote disconnect valves must connect to the telemetry (blue port) of the
module.
