Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to program and connect the pit module.
OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module Start-up
The pit module automatically:
• Detects the connected register type at the top of the hour, exits Factory Mode, and enters Run Mode.
• Detects an Itron Riva Leak Sensor.
OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module programming is required to:
• Change the operation mode
• Enter a utility ID or lock type.
• To enter an E-Coder 8-digit driver.
• Commission security
Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM to verify the
pit module is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check ERT will:
• Generate an immediate register read.
• Verify communication with the Riva Leak Sensor.
• Check for tamper flags.
Programming the Pit Module
Programming the pit module requires one of the following handheld computers running Field Deployment
Manager (FDM) version 4.0 or later.
• FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004)
• FC300 with SRead
For normal activation, connect the pit module to the water meter register and program the pit module using
FDM.
Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector
