ITRON Gen 5 500W ERT - Mobile Mode; Network Mode

Mobile Mode
Extended Alarm Flag
This is retrievable with two-way communication.
Register Error Flag
■
The Register Error flag sets if the Register Error Detected flag is active for 24 hours.
■
The Register Error Flag remains active for 40 days in mobile mode.
Register Error Detected
■
Register Error Detected indicates that the 500WERTModule is not communicating with
the register/meter. The event or alarm flag automatically clears after the
500WERTModule receives a successful read from the register.
Note: The Register Error Detected flag may be an indicator of a damaged register.
Low Battery Warning
■
The remote modules include a battery life estimator. The estimator is based on the
number of data packets sent at the various power levels and the age (self-discharge) of
the 500WERTModule . The low battery warning allows the utility to easily identify which
500WERTModules are nearing end-of-life in a mixed population and gives the utility the
opportunity to schedule replacement.
Note: The low battery warning is a single flag that is set when the battery has less than 10% remaining
capacity, which typically corresponds to two years of battery life remaining. Battery life is evaluated daily at
midnight.
Network Mode
Note: 500WERTModule events and alarms are dependent on the module's firmware version. For more
information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
The 500WERTModule reports the tampers available in mobile mode as well as extended
meter alarms available from new solid-state and electronic meters connected to the
500WERTModule. The extended alarms include:
■
Empty pipe
■
Temperature
■
High flow
