ITRON Gen 5 500W ERT - Mobile Mode Operation Details; Operating Modes

Note: Interval data configuration is dependent on the module's firmware version. See Firmware
Functionality on page 11 for more information.
The 500WERTModule also sends a local access beacon message every 60 seconds that
allows users to gather contingency readings locally when needed.
Caution: If you perform a switch to network mode or switch to mobile mode operation, it results in
a loss of interval data.
The 500WERTModule operates using the 902 to 928 MHz in the ISM band frequency
band and does not require an FCC license.
