How to improve readability of ITRON Control Unit 500W ERT Module in a difficult location?
If the ITRON Control Unit 500W ERT Module is located in a place with marginal readability, such as deep inside a pit, consider reprogramming it for Hard-to-read (H2R) mode. This increases the output to high power. Keep in mind that hard-to-read mode will reduce battery life.
What to do if the ITRON Control Unit handheld programmer is locked up?
If the handheld programmer of your ITRON Control Unit is locked up and button presses produce no response, soft boot the handheld. Refer to the documentation for your programming device for instructions.
How to program the ITRON Control Unit 500W ERT Module?
Check the programming device and software version you are using to program the ITRON Control Unit 500W ERT Module. Program the module using the FC300 handheld computer running Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software v4.0 or higher.
Why is the ITRON Control Unit 500W ERT Module reporting an invalid read?
A 500W ERT Module that has set the Register Error flag will cause an Invalid Read to display in the FDM Consumption field.
