Itron Cellular 500W Module in Mobile Mode Check Endpoint Response Fields

Response Field

Description

Endpoint Id

The module’s device identification number.

Reading

The meter reading as reported by the module.

Last Good Read

The last meter reading as indicated by the endpoint, before the endpoint started reporting No Read or Invalid (stuck digit).

This response field displays only for 100 series water endpoints whose Reading field is reported as No Read or Invalid (stuck digit).

Endpoint Type

The module’s endpoint model (Itron Cellular 500W Module).

Endpoint Subtype

The endpoint sub-model (Itron Cellular 500W Module Mobile).

Register Config

The number of meter dials.

Register Type

May be either of the following values:

  • Encoder
  • Pulser

Cut Detected

  • Yes. The module detected a cut cable sometime during the last 24 hours (Fixed Network mode) or during the last 40 days (mobile mode).
  • No. The module did not detect a cut cable during the last 24 hours (Fixed Network mode) or during the last 40 days (mobile mode).

Cut Cable

  • Yes. The module detected a cut cable sometime during the last 24 hours (Fixed Network mode) or during the last 40 days (mobile mode).
  • No. The module did not detect a cut cable during the last 24 hours (Fixed Network mode) or during the last 40 days (mobile mode).

Reverse Flow

  • Yes. The module has detected a reverse flow.
  • No. The module has not detected a reverse flow.

Battery State

The state of the module 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.

Bubble Up

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

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

  • 9 second(s). Mobile/handheld (M/HH) mode
  • 15 second(s). Handheld (HH) mode
  • 30 second(s). Hard-to-read (H2R) mode
  • 1 minute(s). High-power (HP) mode
  • 6 minute(s). Fixed Network (FN) mode
  • 10 minute(s). ERT-GTWY mode

Lock Type

The ERT module’s lock type, which can be either of the following:

  • No lock. Allows an Itron data collection device with the correct utility ID to reprogram the ERT 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.

RF Output Power

The power level in dBm units at which the ERT module transmits.

This value corresponds to the communication mode the module is configured for, as follows: (+10 dBm, +24 dBm, or +27 dBm).

  • +10 dBm. Mobile/handheld (M/HH) mode
  • +24 dBm. High-power (HP), hard-to-read (H2R), Fixed Network (FN) modes
  • +27 dBm. High-power (HP), Fixed Network (FN) modes
  • +27 dBm. ERT-GTWY mode

Packet Type

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

Valid values:

  • SCM+
  • NIM with SCM+ Contingency

Cut Period

How long, in days, the cut cable indicator continues to indicate a cut cable once it has been triggered.

Cut Threshold

How often, in hours, the module checks to determine if the cable has been cut.

Encoder Driver

The version number of the module’s encoder driver, which is used to decode register data.

Truncation

The number of least-significant (rightmost) digits (0-3) by which the module is programmed to truncate the meter reading.

This value is required to prevent high-resolution readings recorded by nine-dial water registers from overflowing the ERT module’s datalogging buckets. The overflow potential pertains primarily to commercial accounts that consume high volumes of water.

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 an ERT 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 module's time is, in relation to the actual time.

Security State

The ERT module’s ChoiceConnect security level.

  • No Enhanced Security
  • Ready to Secure
  • Command Security
  • Full Security

Leak Detected

Whether or not the endpoint has detected a leak.

Leak Sensor

Whether or not the endpoint has a leak sensor.

LS BubbleUp

The time interval, in seconds, at which the endpoint transmits leak sensor data.

Leak Period

The time interval, in days, the module uses to determine whether there has been a leak, as defined by the Leak Threshold value.

For example, assume the Leak Period value is 7 day(s) and the Leak Threshold value is 0. In this case, the module needs to detect at least one count-switch closure per hour, every hour, for seven consecutive days before indicating a leak.

Leak Threshold

The number of meter count-switch closures per hour per leak period that constitutes a leak.

If the number of count-switch closures per hour during the period specified in the Leak Period field is less than or equal to the Leak Threshold value, the module considers the flow of water to be zero (no leak). If the number of count-switch closures per hour during this period is above the Leak Period value, the module considers it to be a leak.

External Antenna

  • Connected. The module has an external antenna.
  • Not connected. The module does not have an external antenna

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.

Reverse Period

How long the module will indicate a reverse flow tamper after a reverse flow occurs, as defined by the reverse threshold.

For example, assume the Reverse Period value is 40 day(s) and the Reverse Threshold value is 0. In this case, if the module detects at least one reverse pulse during any one-hour period, it indicates a reverse flow tamper for 40 days. After 40 days without detecting a tamper, the module resets the tamper flag.

Reverse Threshold

The number of meter reverse pulses per hour during the reverse period that the module uses to identify a reverse flow.

If the number of reverse pulses per hour during the period specified in the Reverse Period field is greater than the Reverse Threshold value, the module indicates a reverse flow. If the number of reverse pulses per hour during this period is less than or equal to the Reverse Period value, the module does not indicate a reverse flow.

Rightsizing Complete

  • True. Rightsizing has been completed on the module.
  • False. Rightsizing has not been completed on the module.

Peripheral Device

The peripheral device that is connected.

Initial Reading

The meter reading on the register, at the time the ERT was last programmed.

This field is returned for pulser registers only.
