Chapter 3 Initializing, Connecting, and
Programming the Pit Module
This chapter provides the instructions to program and connect the pit module.
Requirements are based on the network system mode. The OpenWay Riva pit module's
auto-sensing technology eliminates the need to program the module at the time of
installation for most popular registers by automatically detecting the connected register type.
OpenWay Riva water pit module start-up
The pit module automatically:
• Detects the connected register type at the top of the hour, exits Factory Mode, and enters
Run Mode.
• Detects an Itron OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor (OLS).
OpenWay Riva water pit module programming is required to:
• Change the operation mode
• Enter a utility ID or lock type.
• To enter an E-Coder 8-digit driver.
• Commission security
Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running
FDM to verify that the pit module is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check
ERT will:
• Initiate an immediate register read.
• Verify communication with the OLS or remote shut-off valve.
• Check for event or alarm flags.
Programming the pit module
Programming the pit module requires one of the following handheld computers running Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) or FDM Tools version 4.0 or later.
• FC300SR handheld computer
• Itron Mobile Radio (IMR) connected to a user-supplied computer or Bluetooth device
For normal activation, connect the pit module to the water meter register. The water module
polls for a register every hour. The OpenWay Riva pit module automatically activates after it
detects the register.
