-0909-006 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ Datalogging Water ERT Module Installation Guide 10
Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and start up the 100W/100W+, program and start up the
100WP/100WP+, and connect the 100W/100W+ or 100WP/100WP+ ERT module.
Initializing the 100W/100W+ ERT Module
Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W/100W+ with an approved handheld
computer. Failure to initialize the ERT module may delay the initial reading up to one hour.
• To initialize the 100W/100W+ immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later (100W+ series modules require FDM version 3.2 or
higher).
• FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004)
• FC300 with SRead
• For normal activation, connect the 100W/100W+ to the water meter register. The ERT module polls for a
register every hour. The 100W/100W+ automatically activates after the ERT module detects a register.
100W/100W+ Encoder ERT Module Start-up
The 100W/100W+ 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/100W+ to initiate run mode in the default mobile mode).
• Detects an Itron Leak Sensor.
100W/100W+ 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.
• Commission security
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/100W+'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.
