The ERT module operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes. The 100W-R and 100WP-R ship in Factory Mode. The ERT modules acquire and transmit meter register data within one hour following register connection. The ERT module transfers meter data immediately if the unit is...
Cut Cable Flag. 100W-R encoder ERT module. The Cut Cable Flag sets if the LGR Flag is active for 24 hours. 100WP-R pulser ERT module. The Cut Cable Flag sets if the LGR Flag is active for two consecutive times.
About the 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT Module 100W-R and 100WP-R Transmission Modes The 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT modules can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile high power, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode.
The ERT module awakens from quiet mode and enters run mode in one of two ways: 1. The 100W-R detects consumption at the top of the hour (last hourly interval >1 or <-1). 2. The 100W-R receives a two-way command (for example, a Read ERT using FDM software).
H A P T E R Initializing, Programming, and Connecting the ERT Module This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and start up the 100W-R ERT module, program and start up the 100WP-R, and connect the 100W-R or 100WP-R ERT module.
The 100WP-R enters run mode by completing programming with FDM. Programming sets the appropriate pulser parameters (initial consumption and Utility ID). Itron strongly recommends performing a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM to verify the 100WP-R is operating correctly after installation. Performing a Check ERT will: ...

The LS is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the house) 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT modules installations. LS devices are mounted on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the Leak Sensor connector on the ERT module as described in Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT Modules on page 22.
Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT Modules Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT Modules Connecting a Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R ERT modules requires a Leak Sensor enabled ERT module. See 100W-R and 100WP-R Models on page 4.
Caution The Leak Sensor must be mounted on the water input side of the meter. Failure to follow this mounting requirement could result in errors in the leak detection data. Installation requires Itron mounting hardware. Repair costs and service charges relating to the use on non-compliant mounting hardware will be charged to the customer.
