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

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.

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).

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.

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):

Connecting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module to the Instrument
The 100T-HON module has a single serial RS232 interface to the Honeywell instrument. 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.

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.
Electronic Corrected Pulse Output
The 100T-HON telemetry module does not provide a connection to an instrument electronic corrected pulse
output. Electronic corrected volume data is collected through the serial connection.
Electronic Uncorrected Pulse Output
The 100T-HON telemetry module does not include a connection to an instrument electronic uncorrected pulse
output. Electronic uncorrected volume data is collected through the serial connection.
Alarm Switch
The 100T-HON telemetry module does not include a connection to an instrument alarm switch. The
instrument alarm data is collected through the serial connection.
Honeywell Instrument Cable Connections
The 100T-HON telemetry module cable enters the Honeywell instrument through a watertight compression
connector on the back of the instrument.
Mini-AT compression connector
ERX/MiniMax compression connector
The 100T-HON telemetry module connects to the Honeywell Mini-AT, MiniMax, and ERX instruments.

CHAPTER 4
Programming the 100T-HON Telemetry Module
After the 100T-HON telemetry module is installed, you must program the module using an Itron handheld or
900MHz Belt Clip Radio and your PC loaded with Field Deployment Manager (FDM) software. FDM
supports configuration of the following parameters:
•
(Optional) Injecting ChoiceConnect security keys.
•
Setting the fixed network or mobile operation mode (setting the operation mode establishes the transmit
power, default packet type, and BUP rates).
•
Setting the Honeywell communication access code.
•
Setting the utility ID.
•
Setting the 100T-HON telemetry module time.
•
Setting connected device-specific parameters:
•
Honeywell EVC devices
Configure channel 2 (for none, electronic uncorrected volume, or mechanical uncorrected
volume).
For mechanical uncorrected volume channel 2 only (implies the existence of an uncorrected
mechanical input):
•
initial index read
•
drive rate
Configure gas day take (GDT) options.
•
Enable or disable GDT
•
GDT capture time
•
GDT BUP frequency
•
Number of GDT transmissions
Caution You must program the 100T-HON telemetry module before use.

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.

Programming the 100T-HON Telemetry Module
To verify proper communications
Note Itron recommends the following operations to verify communications between the 100T-HON
telemetry module and the Mercury Instrument.
1. For an EVC instrument: send a channel 1 EMMIMO read immediately to collect an electronic corrected
read. Compare the collected read to the Mercury Instrument LCD reading.
2. For and EVC instrument with channel 2 data not set to None: send a channel 2 EMIMO to collect an
uncorrected read. Compare the collected read to the Mercury Instrument meter dial.
3. Confirm the Invalid Access Code tamper is not set. If the tamper is set, check the wire connections and
repeat the EMIMO and tamper check.
