ITRON 100G DLS Datalogging User Manual

• Fixed Network Mode. The remote 100G ERT module transmits a high-powered network
interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is
500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the remote 100G ERT
module transmits a medium power RF message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60
seconds. In Fixed Network mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
• Mobile High Power Mode. The remote 100G ERT module transmits a high-powered RF
message every 60 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dbm. In
Mobile High Power Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
• Mobile and Handheld Mode. The remote 100G ERT module transmits a medium-
powered RF message every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or
+10dBm. In Mobile and Handheld Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
• (Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The remote 100G ERT module
transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is
250 milliwatts or +24dBm. In Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode, the expected
battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile and handheld
mode should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters
installed on rooftops or in sub-basements).
• Itron Cellular Solutions (ICS) Mode. The 100G DLS module is compatible with the Itron
Cellular Solution and can be programmed for optimum operation with FDM Endpoint
Tools Enhanced. In ICS mode, the 100G DLS transmits a high-powered RF network
interval message (NIM) every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or
+27 dBm. Interspersed in the high power NIM, the 100G transmits a medium power RF
message at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm every 60 seconds. In ICS Mode, the expected
battery life is 20 years.
Note: ICS mode is for fixed network application only. ICS is optimized to work with the
ICS communications module in Itron’s electric meter. The 100G DLS must be in a full
security mode to work with ICS. This is not part of the ICS mode, but is a system level
requirement.
An FCC license is not required to read remote 100G ERT module.
100G DLS ERT module and Itron Security Manager
The 100G DLS ERT module is a component of Itron's ChoiceConnect system.
ChoiceConnect system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM),
applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or
Fixed Network system and the ERT module. ISM is available in the 100G DLS module only.
There are two fundamental security processes used in the ChoiceConnect system to ensure
system communication confidentiality and validity.
• Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or
valid. Authentication in the 100G DLS gas ERT module is the process of verifying that a
request is from a valid source and in its original form.
