2. Run mode
• 100WP/100WP+s normal operation mode.
• The 100WP/100WP+ transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings or FDM programming for
standard consumption messages (SCM, SCM+) or network interval message (NIM).
• For SCM/SCM+ (mobile), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds.
• For NIM (fixed network), the 100WP/100WP+ default bubble-up rate is five minutes. When the ERT
module is set for NIM, the 100WP/100WP+ transmits a contingency SCM/SCM+ message every
minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM mode with a programming device.
3. Meter manufacturer quiet mode
• Meter manufacturers can configure the 100WP/100WP+ for quiet mode after programming and direct
mounting the 100WP/100WP+ in a factory.
• The 100WP/100WP+ is awakened from quiet mode and enters run mode in one of two ways:
• Counting two pulses. The pulses are counted internal to the 100WP/100WP+ while it is in quiet mode.
• Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM.
• If an ERT module installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM/SCM+ or NIM messages, it may be due
to zero consumption on the ERT module, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command
(for example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit.
4. GEO mode
• To reach the head end, 100W/100W+ establishes a communication link with a CPU.
• In the event communications are lost with the host CPU, the 100WP/100WP+ searches for a nearby
link.
• The ERT establishes communications with the new device and continues transmitting NIM messages.
100W+ and 100WP+ ERT Module Geo Mode
100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module geo mode reduces infrastructure requirements by improving network
coverage. The 100W+ an100WP+ ERT module geo mode technology addresses meters with isolated RF
impairments allowing hard-to-read ERT modules to be read by a neighboring ERT module with good network
coverage. The neighboring ERT module forwards the hard-to-read ERT module's message to the nearest data
collection device.
