TDC-0951-005 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging ERT Module Installation Guide 7
Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and start up the 100W-R ERT module, program and start up
the 100WP-R, and connect the 100W-R or 100WP-R ERT module.
Initializing the 100W-R
Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W-R with an approved handheld
computer. Failure to initialize the ERT module may delay the initial reading up to one hour.
To initialize the 100W-R immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later.
FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004)
FC300 with SRead
For normal activation, connect the 100W-R to the water meter register. The ERT module polls for a
register every hour. The 100W-R automatically activates after the ERT module detects a register.
100W-R Encoder Start-up
The 100W-R automatically:
Detects the connected register type at the top of the hour, exits factory mode, and enters run mode
(programming is not required for the 100W-R to initiate run mode in the default mobile mode).
Detects an Itron Leak Sensor.
100W-R encoder programming is required to:
Change the operation mode (for example, to change the ERT module from the default mobile mode to
fixed network mode).
Enter a Utility ID or Lock Type.
To enter an E-Coder 8-digit driver.
Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM to verify the
ERT module is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check ERT will:
Generate an immediate register read.
Align the 100W-R's time with the handheld's time.
Important Periodically dock or cradle the handheld computer or mobile reader to keep the time current.
Verify communication with the Leak Sensor.
Check for tamper flags.
