OpenWay Riva Pit Water Module Installation Guide TDC-1666-000 Proprietary and Confidential Chapter 2 About the OpenWay Riva Water Module OpenWay Riva remote modules are high-power radio frequency transmitting modules that attach to water registers/meters to collect consumption usage and tamper data. The OpenWay Riva remote module is an IPv6-compliant endpoint designated to communicate over the ItronOpenWay Riva multi-purpose IoT solution; Itron Riva Network or the legacy ChoiceConnect network. The Riva Water module transmits in ChoiceConnect Mobile, ChoiceConnect Hard-to-Read Mobile, ChoiceConnect High Power Mobile, or OpenWay Riva Network mode. The OpenWay Riva water modules ship from the factory in Factory Mode which prevents unwanted radio transmissions during transit. After installation and programming, the pit modules acquire and transmit meter register data in accordance with the selected pit module parameter settings. The OpenWay Riva water modules support protocols for a variety of meter manufacturer's registers. Refer to the Water Meter and Telemetry Module Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002), for the list of supported meters and registers. OpenWay Riva water modules feature the following capabilities: • Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. OpenWay Riva water modules feature robust algorithms that provide Leak and Reverse Flow Detection. • (Optional) Riva Leak Sensor ◦ The optional Riva Leak Sensor analyzes water flow sound patterns to detect water leaks. Leak Sensor analysis data is uploaded to the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring online portal. Systems with optional Leak Sensor devices access leak information through a utility-specific, secure mlogonline portal (for more information, see the mlogonline Network Leak Monitoring System User Guide TDC-0792-XXX). • (Optional) Telemetry Devices ◦ An optional remote water disconnect valve provides water utilities with a non-intrusive means of managing customer disconnects and reconnects that traditionally required on-site visits. The remotely-controlled disconnect valve helps lower the utility's costs by eliminating routine move-in/move-out service calls. Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires an pit module with enhanced security enabled. To learn more about enabling enhanced security, see the Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934-XXX).

Itron Security Manager (ISM) Users have the option of enabling enhanced security in OpenWay Riva Water Pit Modules. Itron Security Manager (ISM) is a feature of the OpenWay Riva system that ensures certain pit module commands are issued through secure radio communications between the handheld computer, Mobile Collector, or OpenWay Riva system. There are two fundamental security processes used in the OpenWay Riva system to ensure secured commands are confidential and valid. • Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or valid. Authentication in the OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module is the process of verifying the request is from a valid source and in its original form. • Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. Data transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256 encryption. OpenWay Riva Pit Water Module Installation Guide TDC-1666-000 Proprietary and Confidential About the OpenWay Riva Water Module Enabling OpenWay Riva water pit module security Each pit module ships from the Itron factory with a utility factory security key. The presence of this utility factory key does not enable security. To utilize the module's security feature, the installer must use an Itron programming device that is configured with the corresponding security key for that particular pit module. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory key. For more information about programming the pit module, see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934). Battery life Powered by four non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the OpenWay Riva pit module has an expected battery life of 20 years. OpenWay Riva water modules include a battery replacement alarm that helps utilities plan and manage field module replacements. OpenWay Riva water pit module transmission modes The OpenWay Riva water pit module is an IPv6 Wisun compliant device that operates in ChoiceConnect mobile or OpenWay Riva Network mode. In ChoiceConnect mobile mode, the module transmits every nine seconds over multiple RF channels to report on: • meter register value • cut cable or communication error tamper(s) • reverse flow (encoder version selected) • system leak status • low battery indicator In OpenWay Riva Network mode, the module reports four interrogation cycles daily. Each interrogation collects six hours of interval and event data. The OpenWay Riva water module also sends a local access beacon message every 60 seconds that allows users to gather contingency readings locally when needed. The OpenWay Riva water module uses the 908-924 MHz ISM frequency band and does not require an FCC license to ready the OpenWay Riva pit modules. OpenWay Riva water pit module operating modes 1. Factory mode • Pit Modules ship from the factory in Factory Mode. • The pit module's transmitter is off. • The pit module's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command. • pit modules attempt to read the register every hour. OpenWay Riva Pit Water Module Installation Guide TDC-1666-000 Proprietary and Confidential About the OpenWay Riva Water Module • Last Good Read and Extended Tamper Flags may be set when a register is not connected. • If the pit module reads a connected register, the pit module automatically moves to Run Mode. 2. Run mode • Pit Module normal operation mode. • The OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings or setting programmed with FDM for standard consumption messages (SCM +).For SCM+ (Mobile), the pit module default bubble-up rate is 10 seconds. 3. Meter manufacturer quiet mode • Meter manufacturers can configure the pit module for Quiet Mode after initializing and direct mounting the pit module in the factory. • The pit module awakens from Quiet Mode and enters run mode in one of two ways: 1. The pit module detects consumption at the top of the hour (last hourly interval >1 or <-1). 2. The pit module receives a two-way command (for example, a Read ERT using FDM software). Error/warning flags For OpenWay Riva modules reporting in ChoiceConnect 100S mode. Register error detected. Register error detected indicates that the pit module is not communicating with the register/meter. The tamper flag automatically clears after the pit module receives a successful read from the register. Note: The register error detected flag may be an indicator of a damaged register. Register error flag • The register error flag sets if the register error detected flag is active for 24 hours. • The register error flag remains active for 40 days in mobile mode. Extended tamper flag (retrievable with two-way communication). Low battery warning. The pit modules include a battery life estimator. The estimator is based on the number of data packets sent at the various power levels and the age (self-discharge) of the pit module. The low battery warning allows the utility to easily identify which water modules are nearing end-of-life in a mixed population and gives the utility the opportunity to schedule replacement. Note: The low battery warning is a single flag that is set when the battery has less than 10% remaining capacity, which typically corresponds to 2 years of battery life remaining. Battery life is evaluated daily at midnight. For OpenWay Riva modules operating in OpenWay Riva Network mode. OpenWay Riva Pit Water Module Installation Guide TDC-1666-000 Proprietary and Confidential About the OpenWay Riva Water Module The Riva water module reports the tampers available in ChoiceConnect systems as well as extended meter alarms provided by new solid-state and electronic meters.
