Activating a 60WP or 80W-i endpoint’s programming mode
- For a 60WP endpoint, hold the pen magnet (1) provided by Itron against and perpendicular to the 60WP housing, from three-fourths of an inch to one inch above the rod-mounting pocket (2).
For an 80W-i endpoint, insert the tip of the pen magnet (1) into the depression beside the screw hole (2) and touching the blue tamper seal. Hold the magnet perpendicular to the endpoint housing for four seconds, and then remove it.
This “awakens” the endpoint and activates its programming mode for about 15 minutes.
- While the endpoint is in programming mode, use FDM to program, reset, unlock, or check the endpoint.
If the 15-minute period elapses before you finish the procedure, use the magnet again to re-activate the endpoint and try again.
Note: The blue tamper seal on an 80W-i endpoint contains a magnet. When the endpoint is first installed and the seal is inserted, it activates the endpoint, and the installer has 15 minutes to program the endpoint. After the 15 minutes has passed, activation requires application of the pen magnet, as described here.
