TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential vi CHAPTER 1 About the 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Itron 100T-HON telemetry modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter and instrument data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the module. The 100T-HON is designed to interface specifically with Honeywell Mercury Instrument devices and communicates using a protocol similar to other Itron AMR devices. The 100T-HON provides both a traditional meter reading RF interface and a new telemetry RF interface. The 100T-HON module physically connects to the Honeywell device. Honeywell devices support several output mechanisms, but the majority of the information required for the 100T-HON module is collected over an RS-232 serial connection with the exception being the pulse output representing uncorrected mechanical volumes that can be optionally added to Mini-Max, Mini-Max AT, MiniMax ATX, Mini-Max Rotary, and Mini-AT volume correctors. The 100T-HON telemetry module features cut, tilt-tamper and cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the instrument or telemetry module. The module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event. Mercury Devices Supported by the 100T-HON The 100T-HON telemetry module supports two Mercury Instrument types: Electronic Volume Corrector • Mini-Max, Mini-Max AT, Mini-Max ATX and Mini-Max Rotary Correctors • Mini-AT Mini-AT Mini-Max Electronic Pressure Recorder • ERX TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential About the 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Honeywell product features are beyond the scope of this installation guide. Please reference the Honeywell product information for your particular Mercury Instrument. Transmission Modes The 100T-HON telemetry module can be set to transmit in fixed network or mobile and handheld mode. • Fixed Network Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a high-powered network interval message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed with the high power NIM, the 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a medium power RF message every 60 seconds at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. • Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a medium-powered RF message (Beacon) every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years. An FCC license is not required to read 100T-HON telemetry modules. 100T-HON Telemetry Module Messaging The 100T-HON telemetry module messaging is dependent on the transmission mode. 100T-HON telemetry module messaging supports two bubble-up (BUP) message types and two-way commands. • Normal BUP • Alarm BUP. If a critical alarm is detected, the 100T-HON telemetry module enters an alarm state and transmits the alarm details. An alarm state causes the following events: • While the alarm window is active, any scheduled normal fixed network or mobile BUP messages are not transmitted. • If an acknowledgment is received, the 100T-HON telemetry module returns to its normal BUP transmission schedule. The normal mobile and fixed network BUP messages will contain the appropriate tamper flags set in the message. • If an acknowledgment is not received by the 100T-HON telemetry module after the programmed number of alarm BUP retries, the device returns to its normal BUP transmission schedule. The 100THON telemetry module transmits normal mobile and fixed network BUP messages with the appropriate alarm tamper flags set. Alarm BUP messages contain the following information: • Alarm ID defining the cause of the alarm • Endpoint ID • Utility ID • Current extended tamper field values (ready to secure mode only) Two-Way Commands. Fixed network and mobile command messages manage and control the status of the 100T-HON telemetry module. TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential About the 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Itron Security Manager The 100T-HON telemetry module addresses two types of security, ChoiceConnect networking and 100THON to Honeywell device communication, provided by Itron Security Manager. ChoiceConnect Networking The first model is a traditional Itron protocol that includes a complete system knowledge of the content and purpose of each message. Security related decisions such as which key type (for example, reading or command keys) to use when securing a message are based on the command function. 100T-HON Telemetry Module Security The second message model is a telemetry security model. The application level message details are not known to the ChoiceConnect system components. Messages may contain commands ranging from reading data to those that update the state of the Honeywell device. The 100T-HON telemetry module allows 100T two-way requests to be sent and processed through the 100T-HON telemetry module in a basic security fashion, if the command does not change the security state of the Honeywell device. Operating Modes The 100T-HON telemetry module operating modes determine the module's default packet types, bubble-up rates, and transmit power levels. Factory Ship. Factory ship mode conserves the module battery between the time it ships from the factory until it is deployed in the field. In factory ship mode, the module will not transmit but will periodically turn on its receiver and listen for a command. While the module is in factory ship mode, the module will not attempt to periodically log onto the Honeywell device to retrieve data. Audit Mode. Audit mode reduces the read latency time so an audit can be performed on a population of modules after installation. Quiet Mode. Quiet mode is very similar to factory ship mode except that the module exits quiet mode automatically after a pre-configured period of time. Fixed Network. Fixed network mode is chosen when the device will be read by a fixed network. The 100THON telemetry module behavior varies based on the connected Honeywell device. • EVC. When the module is connected to a Honeywell EVC device, the following message types are supported: Bubble-up Messages: Channel-based hourly consumption (NIM-chl) Handheld and mobile contingency (SCM+) Optional gas day take (GDT) Optional Honeywell alarm messages (100T-HON telemetry module Alarm BUP).

When the module is connected to a Honeywell ERX device, the following message types are supported: Bubble-up messages: 100T fixed network BUP message Optional Honeywell alarm message (100T alarm BUP) Telemetry requests/responses 100T-HON telemetry module two-way request 100T-HON telemetry module two-way response Mobile Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module is set to mobile mode when the device will be read by a handheld and/or mobile system. Mobile mode can support varying data loads and RF propagation challenges. Mobile mode sub-modes are listed in the following table: Mobile Sub-Mode Description Normal Normal defines the typical mobile mode. Characteristics of normal mode include frequent bubble-up rates at relatively low power levels. Hard-to-read Hard-to-read mode is used for cases where there are RF signal issues but the size of the data transmitted is in line with the endpoints operating in the normal mode. Characteristics of hard-to-read mode include less frequent bubble-up rates (to conserve power) at higher transmit power levels. Mobile high power Mobile high power mode is used for times when the data amount retrieved from the 100T-HON telemetry module is so large that drive-by collection is not practical. In mobile high power cases, the mobile unit will have to park for some time to capture all of the requested data. Characteristics of mobile high power mode include less frequent bubble-up rates (less than hard-to-read mode) at higher transmit power levels. TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential About the 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Like fixed network mode, the 100T-HON telemetry module behavior in mobile mode varies based on the connected Honeywell device. • EVC. When the 100T-HON telemetry module is connected to a Honeywell Mini-Max device, the following message types are supported: Bubble-up standard consumption message (SCM+) Channel-based data logging requests/responses Datalogging request channel Datalogging response channel Telemetry requests/responses 100T two-way requests 100T two-way responses • ERX. When the 100T-HON telemetry module is connected to a Honeywell ERX device, the following message types are supported: Bubble-up 100T mobile BUP message Telemetry requests/responses 100T two-way requests 100T two-way responses Specifications The functional and operational specifications for the 100T-HON telemetry module are listed below.

Installation Options Mount the 100T-HON telemetry module using the Pipe Mount or Wall Mount (Flat Surface) procedure. • Pipe Mount. Pipe mounting is used in conjunction with the Remote Mount Kit (Itron part number CFG0005-003). The pipe mount option places the module on a pipe near the meter or instrument (not on a wall surface). This option requires a meter manufacturer's cable to connect the module to the meter or instrument. • Flat Vertical (Wall) Mount. Installation using the wall mount option places the module on a wall or other vertical surface. A cable connects the module to the meter or instrument. Mounting Screw Specifications Application Itron Part Number Description To mount adapter plates on pipe brackets 575-9930-016 8-16 x 1/2-inch length, type 8 slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel To mount the module on adapter plates 575-9930-032 8-16 x 1-inch type 8, slotted pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel To mount the module on sheet SCR-0009-001 metal surfaces (to mount modules to wood surfaces, a comparable wood screw is required) 10-16 x 1 1/2-inch type AB thread for sheet metal, Phillips pan-head tapping screw, corrosion-resistant steel TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module Mounting Installation Considerations Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the module in close proximity to the meter or instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length. Mount the module in a vertical position with the label directional arrow pointed upward. Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because: • • 100T-HON modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy module reading. 100T-HON modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. Warning Do not mount the module in an orientation other than vertical (module label arrow pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements will void the product warranty. Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module on a Pipe The following items are required to mount the 100T-HON telemetry module on a pipe or vertical flat surface (wall): Itron Part Number Description TEL-1000-001 100T-HON telemetry module CFG-0005-003 Remote Mount Installation Kit Kit includes: (2) two band clamps (2) two tamper seals pipe bracket cable ties adapter plate Screws: (2) 1/2-inch, to attach the adapter plate to the pipe bracket (2) 1-inch, to attach the module to the adapter plate (3) 1-1/2-inch, to attach the module to a vertical surface (wall) Warning Install the 100T-HON telemetry module in an upright position.

Some of the compatible instruments (ERX, MMX) require the installation of an internal CMOS to RS232 adapter board. If the adapter board is not installed in the field units, contact Honeywell to obtain the board. Serial access to the Honeywell instrument requires an instrument access code. The Honeywell instrument requires this access code from the 100T-HON module to log on to the instrument prior to every data read. You must program the access code into the 100T-HON module at installation time. TDC-1346-000 100T-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module Installation Guide Proprietary and Confidential 17 Connecting and Configuring the Module and Instrument The Mechanical Uncorrected Volume Switch The 100T-HON telemetry module supports a connection to a mechanical uncorrected volume switch output from the Honeywell Mini-Max and Mini-AT instruments. This switch output allows the 100T-HON telemetry module to independently count the mechanically uncorrected volume, even if the instrument losses power. To collect mechanical uncorrected volume data, the following must be true: • The instrument must have the mechanical pulse output option board installed. • The module’s mechanical pulser cable must be connected to the Honeywell instrument. • The module must be configured to use the mechanical uncorrected volume as its channel 2 data stream. The 100T-HON telemetry module pulse counter supports a maximum of 1 pulse per second with at least 1/3 second on, and 1/3 second off.

The Belt Clip Radio connects to the user-supplied laptop using a USB cable or Bluetooth. See the Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934) for more complete programming information. FC200SR FC300 with SRead 900MHz Belt Clip Radio To program the 100T-HON telemetry module 1. Program the meter drive rate into the 100T-HON telemetry module using a handheld computer or Belt Clip Radio and laptop computer. For all programming and Check Endpoint operations using a handheld computer, hold the handheld as close to vertical as possible. For best success, keep the handheld within six feet of the target endpoint. Verify you have the correct programming mode (Fixed Network Mode, or Mobile/Handheld Mode) for your application. Programming parameters are based on the configuration file loaded into the programming device. 2. To verify 100T-HON telemetry module installation and configuration, FDM supports the ability to read electronic corrected volume (for Honeywell EVC devices only), read channel 2 if available (electronic uncorrected or mechanical uncorrected volume—for Honeywell EVC devices only), get tampers, perform check ERT functions, and perform network coverage tool (NCT) operation.
