Proprietary and Confidential
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. The OpenWay
Riva Water Pit Module reports 9-digit register data with Mobile SCM+. Additionally, the OpenWay Riva
water module may be programmed to truncate up to three of the meter/register's least significant digits.
The OpenWay Riva water modules ship from the factory in Factory Mode which prevents unwanted radio
transmissions during transit. After installation and programming, the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules
acquire and transmit meter register data in accordance with the selected pit module parameter settings.
The OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules support protocols for a variety of meter manufacturer's registers. Refer
to the Water Meter and Telemetry Module Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002), for the list of supported meters
and registers.
OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules feature the following capabilities:
• Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. OpenWay Riva water modules feature robust algorithms
that provide Leak and Reverse Flow Detection.
• (Optional) OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor
• The optional Riva Leak Sensor analyzes water flow sound patterns to detect water leaks. Leak sensor
analysis data is uploaded to the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring online portal. Systems with
optional Riva Leak Sensor devices access leak information through a utility-specific, secure
mlogonline portal (for more information, see the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring System User
Guide TDC-0792-XXX).
• (Optional) Telemetry Devices
• Optional remote water disconnect valves provides water utilities with a non-intrusive means of
managing customer disconnects and reconnects that traditionally required on-site visits. The remotely-
controlled disconnect valve helps lower the utility's costs by eliminating routine move-in/move-out
service calls.
Note Remote water disconnect operation requires an OpenWay Riva water module with enhanced
security enabled. To learn more about enabling enhanced security, see the Field Deployment
Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934-XXX).
