Installing the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints TDC-0951-001 100W-R and 100WP-R Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 19 Proprietary and Confidential Optional Leak Sensor Installation Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and pre-existing leaks. LS analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline™ Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis and accessed through a secure Internet portal unique to your utility. This section describes installation of the Leak Sensor (LS) in a 100W-R system. The 100W endpoint stores 20 days of Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the 100W begins to write over stored data in a first in, first out manner. The 100W automatically detects the presence of connected Leak Sensors. The 100W automatically detects the Leak Sensor within 22.5 minutes and begins reading Leak Sensor data. To immediately detect the Leak Sensor and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM software. The LS is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the house) 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints installations. LS devices are mounted on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the appropriate endpoint wires as described in Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints. The mounting bracket shipped with the Leak Sensor accommodates an (up to) 1-1/2-inch OD pipe. An optional mounting bracket is available for pipe sizes (up to 2 1/2-inch OD). Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints Connecting a Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints requires a Leak Sensor enabled endpoint. See 100W-R and 100WP-R Models on page 3. Connect the endpoint flying lead wires to the Leak Sensor (using gel cap connectors, see Using Gel Cap Connectors on page 33) matching wire colors to complete the three connections. See Optional Leak Sensor Installation on page 19 for Leak Sensor mounting information. Note If the endpoint will mount on the exterior of the house but the Leak Sensor is on a pipe on the interior, the Leak Sensor cable must run through a hole in the wall before connecting it to the endpoint. Caution Extension cable lengths must not exceed 300 ft. Extension cabling from Itron is stranded, tinned, and pre-bonded for reliability and proper connection to gel cap connectors. Extension cabling manufactured by non-approved Itron manufacturers may result in unreliable and problematic connections. Contact Itron Support for more information.
