About the OpenWay Riva 500W ERT Module
OpenWay Riva 500WERTremote modules are high-power radio frequency transmitting
modules that attach to water registers or meters to collect consumption usage, event, and alarm
data. The OpenWay Riva 500W ERT module is an IPv6-compliant endpoint designated to
communicate over the ItronOpenWay Riva multi-purpose IoT solution: OpenWay Riva Network
or the legacy ChoiceConnect Mobile platform. The OpenWay Riva 500W ERT module transmits
in Mobile Mode offering Mobile Handheld, Hard-to-Read Mobile, High-Power Mobile, or
OpenWay Riva Network Mode.
The OpenWay Riva 500W ERT modules ship from the factory in Factory Mode, which prevents
unwanted radio transmissions during transit. After installation and programming, the pit modules
acquire and transmit meter or register data in accordance with the selected pit module
parameter settings. The OpenWay Riva 500W ERT modules support protocols for a variety of
meter manufacturer's registers. Refer to the Water Meter and Telemetry Module Compatibility
List (PUB-0063-002) for the list of supported meters and registers.
Note: The OpenWay Riva 500WERTModule was formally known as the OpenWayRiva
Water Module. The UIassociated with this device may reflect the former name.
OpenWay Riva 500W ERT modules feature the following capabilities:
■
Datalogging. In OpenWay Riva Network Mode, the OpenWay Riva 500W ERT module
provides 3,840 buckets of interval data configurable from 1 minute to 1 hour (for example,
160 days of hourly data or 40 days of 15 minute data).
Note: Interval data functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality.
■
In Mobile Mode, the module provides 960 buckets of hourly interval data and can be set to
transmit in Mobile and Handheld Mode, Mobile High Power Mode, or Hard to Read Mode.
–
Mobile High Power Mode. The 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 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 Mode. The module transmits a high-powered RF message
every 30 seconds. Output power in this mode is 250 milliwatts or +24dBm. In Hard to
