12 CHOICECONNECT 100W ENDPOINT DATALOGGING AND TAMPER FEATURES

13 Tampers & Events for 100W Leak Same as 60W Reverse Flow (encoder only) Same as 60W Last Good Read Invalid Read New to 100W Extended Tamper Flag Check Engine Light Low Battery Cut Cable Flag All Tamper events are stored in a tamper log

14 100W vs. 60W Tampers Leak Detection 100W Leak Detection Flag Detection of leak occurring after the meter register Flag is set when the lowest metered amount is repeatedly detected every hour over a 7-day period (168 hours). Flag clears when no additional hourly usage is reported by an encoder or when no pulse is detected by the ERT. Flag is either On or Off Value reported in FDM will be TRUE if a leak is detected (On) and FALSE for no leak (Off). Re-programming returns leak flag to FALSE. 60W Leak Detection Flag Detection of leak occurring after the meter register Flag is set when the lowest metered amount is repeatedly detected every hour over a 7-day period (168 hours). Flag clears when no additional hourly usage is reported by an encoder or when no pulse is detected by the ERT. Flag is either On or Off Value reported in EPL will be a 1 or a 3 if a leak is detected (On) and zero if there is no leak (Off).

15 100W vs. 60W Tampers Reverse Flow 100W Reverse Flow Flag Reverse flow is reported if an hourly index value is less than the previous hourly value. Example: Reading at noon is Reading at 1:00PM is Flag remains enabled for 40 days. The 40-day counter re-starts upon each occurrence of a reverse flow event. Flag is either On or Off In FDM, the flag is set to TRUE if reverse flow is detected (On) After completing a 40-day cycle with no additional reverse flow occurrences the flag returns to FALSE (Off) 60W Reverse Flow Flag Reverse flow is reported if an hourly index value is less than the previous hourly value. Example: Reading at noon is Reading at 1:00PM is Flag remains enabled for 40 days. The 40-day counter re-starts upon each occurrence of a reverse flow event. Flag is either On or Off In EPL, the reverse flow flag is represented by a 2 or a 3 (On) After completing a 40-day cycle with no additional reverse flow occurrences the flag returns to zero (Off)

16 100W vs. 60W Tampers 100W Communication Error Flags Last Good Read Flag Instant Communication Error Invalid Read in FDM Cut Cable Flag Historic Communication Error Extended Tamper 60W Cut Cable Counter A cut cable tamper is reported when the cable connecting the register and endpoint is cut or disconnected. Both cut cable and register/endpoint communication errors increase the counter value if the condition remains unchanged over a 24-hour period. The tamper indicator continues incrementing every 24 hours until the problem is resolved. The counter will increment from

17 New 100W Tampers/Status Last Good Read (LGR) Flag Communication error with the register If this flag is set for 24hrs, then it will initiate Cut Cable Flag in Extended Tampers This flag will automatically clear once a successful read from the register is received Extended Tamper Flag retrievable via 2-way: FDM & MC Low Battery [10% trip level] Cut Cable Flag This flag is set when the LGR flag is on for 24 hours (After 24 consecutive failed read attempts) Cable cut flag stays on for 40 days in mobile mode Cable cut flag stays on for 24 hours in FN mode Meter Right Sizing Complete Commercial application to evaluate proper meter size

18 100W MVRS Datalogging Features MV-RS (Version 8.1) Captures SCM Message Request 2-way Datalogging commands via two methods By designated ERT ID(s) using adhoc request entered in MV- RS user interface Default parameters for all datalogging ERTs by Bill Code Individual options for Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Undefined Review data in table and graphs in MV-RS user interface Export data to IEE/CC using new XML export

19 CHOICECONNECT 100W ENDPOINT OPERATING MODES

20 100W Has Three Standard Operating Modes Factory Mode 100W endpoints are shipped in Factory Mode. The transmitter is turned off. The receiver is enabled every 4 seconds to listen for a programming command. 100W encoder models will attempt to read the register every hour If the 100W reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode Run Mode 100W endpoint s normal operation mode. The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages (SCM), or network interval message (NIM) For SCM the 100W default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds. Receiver enabled one second after every SCM. For NIM the 100W bubble-up rate is 5 minutes. When the endpoint is set f NIM th 100W t it ti SCM i t

21 100W Has Three Standard Operating Modes Audit Mode Audit Mode is configured by performing a Check ERT with FDM In Audit Mode the 100W bubble-up rate is faster and the receiver is active. The SCM bubbles up every 4 seconds Receiver is enabled one second after every SCM The 100W exits Audit Mode and enters Run Mode again automatically after 1 hour. NOTE: A Check ERT will not reset tampers. Programming resets tampers AND puts the endpoint in audit mode for 30 days.

22 100W (Encoder) Start-up Routine No shorting plug required 100W auto detects the register type at the top of hour, and then automatically exists the factory mode and enters Run Mode Programming is not required for 100Ws with encoders to initiate Run Mode Leak Sensor is automatically detected if present ERT validation test using Check ERT is strongly suggested to verify everything is working properly after installation. It generates an immediate read from the register It aligns the 100W s time to the reader s current time. Checks communication with Leak Sensor Checks for tampers Note Important to keep HH/Mobile Reader s time current (periodically dock or cradle)!
