CHAPTER 1 80W-i Endpoint The Itron 80W-i combines Itron Cyble and water endpoint technologies to create a powerful AMR module. 80W-i endpoints are bubble-up meter transceivers operating in the 900 MHz unlicensed radio frequency band. Utilizing an integral mounting design, the 80W-i is attached directly to the Itron Flostar, Multimag, or Woltex water meter (with the three-tab housing) using a single mounting screw.

CHAPTER 2 Installing the 80W-i The 80W-i can be installed and programmed (see Programming the 80W-i on page 7.) before or after Itron meter installation. Verify the Flostar, Multimag, or Woltex meter register housing is the three-tab design. Screws and tamper seals to attach the endpoints are included with each 80W-i.
Chapter 2 Installing the 80W-i Attaching the 80W-i Endpoint to an Itron Water Meter Warning Field retrofit applications require a clean register. Use a damp towel to clean the register cover and meter lens including the mounting tabs, screw plug, and lens covering of the Cyble target. 1. Using a small, standard tip screwdriver, unscrew the hole-protector on the register cover. 2. Align the register housing mounting tabs with the 80W-i slots and carefully slide the endpoint onto the meter as shown.
Attaching the 80W-i Endpoint to an Itron Water Meter 3. Insert the torx mounting screw and hand tighten to a firm resistance. Do not overtighten. Warning Do not use an electric screwdriver. A power tool could over-tighten the screw and damage the register's plastic housing. 4. Insert a blue tamper seal into the matching location over the screw. Ensure the seal is firmly seated around its perimeter. Warning Applying the blue tamper seal places the endpoint into programming mode for 15 minutes.
