CHAPTER 1 About the 60W-R and 60WP-R Endpoints The 60W-R and 60WP-R Endpoints are Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) endpoints that collect consumption and tamper information and transmit the data in a bubble-up fashion. Approximately every seven seconds, the endpoint transmits a standard consumption message (SCM) at approximately +10 dBm (10 milliwatts) between 910-920 MHz. A variety of meter register protocols are supported.
Chapter 1 About the 60W-R and 60WP-R Endpoints 60W-R Startup Sequence The 60W-R is shipped in a sleep state. Register reads and data transmissions start after initialization of the endpoint. To initialize, place one of the supplied gel connectors on the yellow and brown wires and then crimp. Be sure to use a crimping tool designed for 3M's Y2 gel connectors. See Appendix A on page 35. Maintain the connection for at least 3 seconds and then remove the connector by cutting the wires.
60WP-R Startup Sequence 60WP-R Startup Sequence The 60WP-R is shipped from the factory in a sleep state. To initialize the unit a special magnet pen (Itron part number MLD-0175-001) is placed in the small indentation on the front face of the enclosure. See Activating 60WP-R Programming Mode on page 33. After initiating, the endpoint operates in one of the following modes: - This mode is used to program the endpoint with a starting meter register value and/or unique utility operating parameters.
