Chapter 2 OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Installation Guide Overview This installation guide provides instructions for physically installing, commissioning, connecting, decommissioning, and physically disconnecting the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect valve. Audience This installation guide is intended for Itron personnel, third-party OpenWay Riva system installers, and end-users of the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect valve.
Chapter 3 About the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect The Itron OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect valve is integrated in the piping that distributes natural gas to provide a safe secure device to stop the gas flow in the piping serving a residential or commercial structure. The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect enables remote monitoring and control of the natural gas supply. An optional and externally connected water sensor detects flood water and initiates an automatic valve closure.
About the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect When the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is mounted in horizontal piping, mount the device with the top surface (the area with the product label) away from walls and structures. When the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is mounted on vertical piping, do not mount the device in a vertical downflow position (with the flow arrow point down). The top surface (the area with the product label) may point to the side but not toward nearby walls or structures.
About the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect • Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is the process of verifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form. • Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric.
About the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Functional specifications Construction materials Description Gray polycarbonate housing with encapsulated electronics, aluminum die cast valve body, Buna-N valve disk OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect operational specifications The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect features these operational specifications.
Chapter 4 Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect This section describes OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect installation. Installation requires initial calibration and alignment using an Itron handheld device loaded with Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Caution: Shield unconnected flood sensor connectors on field installed OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect devices with the protective universal environmental cap. Do not leave flood sensor connectors exposed in field installations. Environmental caps employ multiple seals to protect connector life.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect recommended mounting positions Note: Install the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect in an orientation that positions the antenna as far from walls, meters, or piping as possible. Ensure the following parameters. • A clear RF signal reaches the antenna (1). • Gas is flowing in the proper direction (the direction indicated by the arrow on the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect).
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Caution: Do not install the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect with the gas out flow in the down position or in such a way that the antenna is against a wall or other structure. Remove the red shipping plugs from the inlet and outlet to vent the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect prior to installation. Keep the piping interior, regulator inlet, and regulator outlet free from dirt, chemical sealant (pipe dope), Teflon tape, or other debris.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect in the pipe 1. Select the location for the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect and plan piping revisions to accommodate the gas flow direction, OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect device body length, swing radius, and antenna clearance. 2. Verify the gas flow is in the direction noted by the arrow on the body of the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect valve. 3. Apply pipe sealant on the pipe.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Warning: Check all connections for gas leakage and repair if necessary. Installing the flood sensor Warning: Do not paint the flood sensor. Mounting the flood sensor on the pipe Mounting the flood sensor on a pipe requires a user-supplied band clamp large enough to secure the sensor to the pipe. Important: Mount the flood sensor on a vertical (2) or horizontal (1) pipe using the bottom pipe cradles and top and side bracket guides.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Note: Place the sensor 6 to 12 inches above the ground or floor but below the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect. 2. Place the open band clamp around the pipe and flood sensor. 3. Tighten the band clamp enough to ensure the sensor cannot rotate or slip on the pipe. Mounting the flood sensor on a flat surface 1. Locate the installation area on a flat surface 6 to 12" above the ground or floor but below the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect.
Chapter 5 Connecting the Flood Sensor to the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect The flood sensor connects to the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect through an inline connector. Warning: The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect must be commissioned before the flood sensor is connected to ensure proper event logging. After the flood sensor is attached to the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect, perform a Check Endpoint in FDM tools to verify the flood sensor is connected.
Connecting the Flood Sensor to the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect 4. Twist the inline connector's blue tab until it aligns with the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect connector's tab. 5. Secure a tamper seal through the connection tab's opening to complete the connection. 6. Complete the installation by securing the flood sensor's cable with cable ties or wire guides. Coil and secure any excess cable near the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect.
