Itron Cellular 500G Module in mobile mode Check Endpoint response fields

Response Field

Description

Endpoint Id

The ERT module’s device identification number.

Endpoint Reading

The meter reading as reported by the endpoint.

A Program Endpoint window opens so you can enter the number of dials/billing units. The Check Endpoint operation uses the information to format the reading.

Note: A No Read result is returned from an Endpoint reading if a cut cable tamper is discovered.

Endpoint Type

The endpoint model (Itron Cellular 500G Module).

Endpoint Subtype

The endpoint sub-model (Mobile: Itron Cellular 500G Module Mobile, Network: Mobile: Itron Cellular 500G Module Network).

Programmed Meter Configuration

The meter’s number of dials and unit of measure.

PCOMP

The pressure compensation value programmed into the endpoint to compensate for the effect of atmospheric pressure on recorded consumption.

Bubble Up

How often the module automatically transmits, or bubbles up, its standard consumption message (SCM), standard consumption message plus (SCM+), and/or network interval message (NIM).

This value corresponds to the communication mode the module is configured for, as follows:

  • 15 second(s). Mobile/handheld (M/HH) mode
  • 30 second(s). Hard-to-read (H2R) mode
  • 1 minute(s). High-power (HP) mode

RF Output Power

The power level in dBm units at which the endpoint transmits.

This value corresponds to the communication mode the module is configured for, as follows: (+10 dBm or +24 dBm).

  • +10 dBm. Mobile/handheld (M/HH) mode
  • +24 dBm. High-power (HP) or hard-to-read (H2R) modes

Utility ID

The utility ID number assigned to your utility by Itron. This is a unique security code ranging from 0 to 32767 that prevents another utility from performing certain functions on a module. If you enter a number greater than 32767, an error displays and you cannot save the utility ID.

Time Drift

The hours, minutes, and seconds fast or slow the ERT or telemetry module's time is, in relation to the actual time.

Lock Level

Themodule’s lock level, which can be either of the following:

  • No lock. Allows an Itron data collection device with the correct utility ID to reprogram the module.
  • Hard lock. Prevents billing parameters such as consumption, number of dials, drive rate, or pressure compensation (PCOMP) from being reprogrammed. System parameters, such as operation mode (mobile/handheld mode, high-power mobile mode, hard-to-read mobile/handheld mode, or Fixed Network mode), can be reprogrammed.

Security State

The module’s ChoiceConnect security level.

Valid values:

  • Ready to Secure
  • Command Security
  • Full Security

Tilt Tamper

The module’s tilt tamper value, which increments whenever the endpoint has been inverted, vibrated, removed, or tilted 45 or more degrees from its correct installation position. This value does not automatically reset when the module is programmed.

Magnetic Tamper

The module’s magnetic tamper value, which increments whenever the module is exposed to a strong external magnetic field. Exposure to a magnetic field can result in under-reported consumption or even cause the module to stop counting. This value does not automatically reset when the module is programmed.

Metrology Counter

The number of times the module received a programming command that affected its metrology.

Non Metrology Counter

The number of times the module received a non-metrology programming command.

Battery Status

The state of the endpoint battery’s electrical charge.

  • Good. The battery's charge is at greater than 10 percent of capacity.
  • Low. The battery's charge is at 10 percent or less of capacity.

Tamper Debounce

The amount of time in milliseconds required for the mechanical contact on the tilt switch to settle before a signal from the switch is considered to be valid by the module. This parameter is used to adjust the sensitivity of the meter removal tamper indicator.

Packet Type

The standard consumption message packet type the module is configured to transmit.

Valid values:

  • SCM+

High Flow Threshold

The threshold at which a high flow event is created. Automatic shutoff will occur if it is enabled.

Count Rate

The metrology value used with PCOMP, rollover, and counts to calculate the consumption value. Count Rate is displayed only if FDM is unable to determine the meter configuration. If you were not required to enter the meter's number of dials and billing units during the Check Endpoint workflow, then Count Rate is not returned in the Check Endpoint response.

Daily Freeze Time

The time each day when a meter reads demand, time-of-use (TOU), and consumption data. The daily freeze time (DFT) meter reading is the reading that is closest to, but not after, the DFT. Also called the gas day take (GDT) time.

GDT Rate

The number of seconds between GDT bubble-up packets.

GDT Interval

How long, in minutes, the GDT message continues to bubble up after the daily freeze time.
