Introduction
Itron Gen™5 500WERT
®
Modules are radio-frequency (RF) water modules that connect
to the Gen™5 Network as a leaf on a continuously powered device (CPD). The modules
choose one CPD as a gateway to the Gen5 Network. The CPD communication with the
modules is based on a limited listening schedule (LLS). The CPD handles the modules'
messages, forwarding and transmitting the module's messages. The modules can
communicate in mobile mode (also known as 100S system mode)to support a ready-to-
secure installation when a third-party work order system is used. The utility configures the
module to switch to the Gen5 network mode.
The CPD device accepts up to 20 modules at a time. The modules choose the CPD
association. Associated parent CPDs can change over time. The 500WERTModules are
not IP-addressable. The Gen5 network head end addresses the 500WERTModule
through the CPD and maintains a list of CPDs and associated 500WERTModules. The
CPD forwards messages addressed to the 500WERTModule. The modules continue
Itron's tradition of reliability, accuracy, and long battery life while supporting the industry's
standards for security.
