OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor (OLS) Installation
Installation of the OLS with a remote 500W ERT module requires an OLS with flying lead ends
(Itron part number LDS-1601-002). For the remote module installation instructions, see
OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor Installation Guide.
Connecting the SET Valve
This section describes installation of a remote water disconnect valve in an water system. The
500W ERT module supports three valve states. For more information about the firmware
version required to support the SETvalve and Leak Sensor, see Firmware Functionality on
page 13.
■
Connected. The water flow is open and flowing at 100% configured capacity.
■
Disconnected. The water flow is shut off with no water flowing. The remote water
disconnect valve provides the ability to remotely open (reconnect) the valve.
■
Restricted. The water is restricted and flowing at the configured installation flow.
The module automatically detects the presence of connected water disconnect devices within
22.5 minutes and begins reading disconnect valve data. To immediately detect the water
disconnect valve and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer
running FDM software.
The SET valve connects to the remote 500W ERT module orange, blue, and purple/white
wires.
