About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Itron Security Manager (ISM) Users have the option of enabling the ISM enhanced security in the 100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module. ISM is a component of a ChoiceConnect system. ChoiceConnect system security applies to the RF communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or Fixed Network system and the ERT module.
About the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT Module Transmission Modes The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module can be set to transmit in fixed network, mobile high power, mobile and handheld, or hard to read mobile and handheld mode. •...
For SCM and SCM+, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. o For NIM, the 100W/100W+ default bubble-up rate is 5 minutes. When the ERT module is set for NIM, the 100W/100W+ transmits a contingency SCM+ message every minute. NIM mode is configured when the module detects an attached register or by programming NIM mode with a programming device.
100W+ and 100WP+ ERT module geo mode reduces infrastructure requirements by improving network coverage. The 100W+ an100WP+ ERT module geo mode technology addresses meters with isolated RF impairments allowing hard-to-read ERT modules to be read by a neighboring ERT module with good network coverage.
H A P T E R Initializing, Connecting, and Programming the ERT Module This chapter provides the instructions to initialize and start up the 100W/100W+, program and start up the 100WP/100WP+, and connect the 100W/100W+ or 100WP/100WP+ ERT module. Initializing the 100W/100W+ ERT Module Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W/100W+ with an approved handheld computer.
39). Connecting to a Meter Register Using a Cable You may connect the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module to the water meter register using the 5-foot or 20-inch cable. Caution ERT module wire terminations must be properly sealed with a non-conductive gel material to prevent water intrusion (otherwise, this configuration should not be used in a pit box environment).

100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module products. Refer to the respective meter reading application for specific instructions. • When comparing the actual register value to that reported by the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module, please keep in mind the ERT module's consumption value is updated once an hour when it is in a run mode.
Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above. The 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT modules are temperature rated from -20º C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module in locations that may exceed the temperature rating.
ERT module using an Itron Security Seal (Itron part number MSC-0018-001). Cable ties are not shipped with the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module, but can be ordered from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the ERT module side) in the field for up to one year.
Rod-driving tool (optional) • Rod cutting tool The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module bottom and side views. To install the 100W/100W+ and 100WP/100WP+ ERT module on a rod 1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions.
Page 23
You may secure the ERT module to the rod with a self- drilling screw through the hole in the top of the ERT module's rod mount cavity. The screw mounting hole is shown in the following product image.
