CHAPTER 1 About the OpenWay Riva Pit Module OpenWay Riva water modules are high-power radio frequency transmitting modules that attach to water registers/meters to collect consumption usage and tamper data. The OpenWay Riva water module transmits the meter/register data to a collection device which in turn transfers the information to the utility's customer billing system. The OpenWay Riva water module operates in a Mobile/Handheld environment.
About the OpenWay Riva Pit Module Itron Security Manager (ISM) Users have the option of enabling enhanced security in OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules. Itron Security Manager (ISM) is a feature of the OpenWay Riva system that ensures certain pit module commands are issued through secure radio communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or OpenWay system. There are two fundamental security processes used in the OpenWay Riva system to ensure confidentiality and validity of secured commands.
About the OpenWay Riva Pit Module • Audit Mode. Audit mode reduces the normal read latency time associated with standard modes of operation and is often used after initial installation. This mode is useful in installations where the normal bubble-up rate is very slow. Audit Mode remains active for 30 days and then reverts to the initial programmed mode. Audit Mode is intended to be used once. An FCC license is not required to read OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules.
About the OpenWay Riva Pit Module Register Error Flag • The Register Error flag sets if the Register Error Detected flag is active for 24 hours. • The Register Error Flag remains active for 40 days in Mobile mode.

Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module Pit Modules with Integral Connectors If pit modules with integral connectors (ERW-1601-00X) and the registers are not installed at the same time, secure the protective environmental connector cover on the pit module using an Itron Security Seal (Itron part number MSC-0018-001). Cable ties are not shipped with the pit module, but can be ordered from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the pit module side) in the field for up to one year.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module This section provides the instructions to install the pit module in a pit lid with a hole using the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-1300-004). Verify you have the following items to complete the installation. A Retainer clip B Pit lid with a pre-drilled hole C Retainer clip collar D OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module To install the module in lids with holes using the Pit Lid Mounting Kit 1.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module Rod Mount Installation Important Rod mount installation requires the Rod Mount Adapter. For more information, see Pit Module Mounting Accessories on page 9. OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules can mount below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 1/2-inch diameter rod. The example installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod. For more information, visit www.itron.com and reference the Water Meter and Telemetry Device Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002).
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of the pit as possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure the rod remains vertical. Note The rod shown has an end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground. 5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the pit lid.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 7. You may secure the pit module to the rod with a self-drilling screw through the hole in the top of the pit module's rod mount cavity. The screw mounting hole is shown in the following product image. 8. Installation is complete when the pit module is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. The pit module must not contact the pit structure or lid. Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the pit module when the lid is replaced.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 3. Mark the location of the top mounting hole. 4. Drill a pilot hole in the pit box wall. Follow the screw manufacturer's recommendation for the pilot hole size. 5. For concrete-type pit boxes, it may be necessary to use a screw anchor. Choose an anchor appropriate for a #10 pan head screw. Caution Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. Over-tightening the mounting screws may break the pit module mounting tabs. 6. Start a screw into the pilot hole.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module Optional Riva Leak Sensor Installation This section describes installation of the OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor in a OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module system. The pit module stores 20 days of Riva Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the pit module begins to write over stored data in a first in, first out manner. The pit module automatically detects the presence of connected Riva Leak Sensor. The pit module automatically detects the sensor within 22.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 3. Mount the sensor mounting clamp on the pipe on the water input side of the meter. Caution Mount the Riva Leak Sensor on the water input side of the meter. Failure to follow this mounting requirement could result in errors in the leak detection data. Installation requires Itron mounting hardware. Repair costs and service charges relating to the use on non-compliant mounting hardware will be charged to the customer. Contact Itron Support for more information.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 3. Align the Riva Leak Sensor connector with the pit module's blue connector and insert. 4. Rotate the connector locking ring until the security holes align. Caution Do not force the connector ends together. While you hold the Riva Leak Sensor connector, engage the pit module connector by rotating the locking ring until both connectors securely connect. Twist only the connector locking ring, not the body of the connector.
Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module 2. Insert the pointed end of the security seal into the capped end and push until the seal locks. This completes the pit module and Riva Leak Sensor connections.
