80W-i Endpoint Installation Guide 1 The Itron 80W-i combines Itron Cyble and water endpoint technologies to create a powerful AMR module. 80W-i endpoints are bubble-up meter transceivers operating in the 900 MHz unlicensed radio frequency band. Utilizing an integral mounting design, the 80W-i is attached directly to the Itron Flostar, Multimag, or Woltex water meter (with the three-tab housing) using a single mounting screw. This streamlined mounting method eliminates wire connections providing a trouble-free installation. The 80W-i endpoint transmits a consumption message at two power levels giving utilities the option to migrate from an Itron ChoiceConnect drive-by solution (standard power) to a ChoiceConnect fixed network solution (high power) without changing the meter or endpoint. When combined with the superior low flow metrology of Itron single jet meters, 80W-i endpoints deliver accurate consumption data over a wide range of flow rates. Product Highlights The 80W-i features:  A "no-wire" design  Multiple power output  Migration to Fixed Network without meter or endpoint replacement  Programmable dial resolution (down to 1/10th gallon)  Leak detection  Tamper detection  Reverse flow detection 80W-i Ordering Information Description Part Number 80W-i Endpoint (packaged 24 per box) Box includes: Size T15 torque screws (packaged 25 per kit) Blue magnetic tamper seals (packaged 25 per kit) ERW-0776-001 CHAPTER 1 80W-i Endpoint

80W-i Endpoint Installation Guide 3 The 80W-i can be installed and programmed (see Programming the 80W-i on page 7.) before or after Itron meter installation. Verify the Flostar, Multimag, or Woltex meter register housing is the three-tab design. Screws and tamper seals to attach the endpoints are included with each 80W-i. Required Tools and Hardware  Flostar, Multimag, or Woltex meter with three-tab housing  Itron 80W-i Endpoint  Blue magnetic tamper seal  Stainless steel torx screw  Size T15 torx screwdriver  Small regular-tip screwdriver CHAPTER 2 Installing the 80W-i
Chapter 2 Installing the 80W-i 4 80W-i Endpoint Installation Guide Attaching the 80W-i Endpoint to an Itron Water Meter Warning Field retrofit applications require a clean register. Use a damp towel to clean the register cover and meter lens including the mounting tabs, screw plug, and lens covering of the Cyble target. 1. Using a small, standard tip screwdriver, unscrew the hole-protector on the register cover. 2. Align the register housing mounting tabs with the 80W-i slots and carefully slide the endpoint onto the meter as shown. When correctly installed, the endpoint will lie flat on the register surface. A. Correctly mounted 80W-I B. Incorrectly mounted 80W-i Warning Carefully align the register housing mounting tabs and the 80W-i slots before sliding the 80W-i into its mounted position. Use care when sliding the 80W-i into position to ensure a snug fit (as shown). Verify the 80W-i fits securely over the register surface without a gap. When attaching the 80W-i module in a pit box, confirm the endpoint is properly mated by feeling under the endpoint with your fingertips to verify all three mounting tabs are seated in the appropriate slots and there is not a gap between the endpoint and register. After you have confirmed a snug fit between the endpoint and register, secure the endpoint to the register housing with the supplied mounting screw.
Attaching the 80W-i Endpoint to an Itron Water Meter 80W-i Endpoint Installation Guide 5 3. Insert the torx mounting screw and hand tighten to a firm resistance. Do not over-tighten. Warning Do not use an electric screwdriver. A power tool could over-tighten the screw and damage the register's plastic housing. 4. Insert a blue tamper seal into the matching location over the screw. Ensure the seal is firmly seated around its perimeter. Warning Applying the blue tamper seal places the endpoint into programming mode for 15 minutes. If the seal is removed after programming, the endpoint will sense the removal and advance the 'cut-cable' tamper value.

80W-i Endpoint Installation Guide 7 Required Programming Hardware and Software - Itron FC200SR loaded with Endpoint Link Software, version 5.3.1 or higher - 80W-i Endpoint Configuration File loaded in the FC200SR Handheld. (The configuration file is unique for each utility.) The 80W-i activates for programming when the blue tamper seal is installed. Tamper seal installation initializes a 15-minute programming period when the FC200SR is used to program meter parameters from the Endpoint Configuration File, the beginning meter index value, and desired resolution. After the 15-minute programming period expires, the 80W-i enters a normal operating mode unless Quiet Mode was enabled in the configuration file. Quiet Mode places the endpoint in a hibernation state until consumption is detected. When consumption is detected, the 80W-i will switch to its normal operating state. Re-programming the 80W-i requires placement of the Itron pen magnet (MLD-0175-001) over the tamper seal for approximately 4 seconds. Remove the pen magnet after the wait-time elapses. To request an Endpoint Configuration File, contact support@itron.com. Within two weeks, you will receive log-on information and download instructions for your new Endpoint Configuration File from our secure Itron website. If you need assistance loading the handheld with your Endpoint Configuration File, contact Itron 80W-i Support at 1-800-635-8725. The Endpoint Link or Endpoint Link Pro Programming Guide (V5.3 or later) can assist users with Endpoint Link Software navigation or programming options for the 80W-i. CHAPTER 3 Programming the 80W-i
