Proprietary and Confidential
The 100W endpoints are high-power radio frequency automatic meter reading (AMR) devices that attach to
water registers to collect consumption usage and tamper data the endpoint then transmits to a data collection
device. The endpoint operates in both bubble-up mode and two-way modes.
The 100W endpoints ship in Factory Mode. The endpoints acquire and transmit meter register data within one
hour following register connection. The endpoint transfers meter data immediately if the unit is initialized
with a handheld computer during installation (see Initializing the 100W Endpoint on page 6).
Caution Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour. The
100W endpoint will default to a consumption value of 0 if the endpoint is not programmed
with Itron's Field Deployment Manager (FDM).
The 100W endpoint supports protocols for a variety of meter manufacturer's registers. Refer to the Water
Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002), for the list of supported meters and registers.
100W endpoints feature the following capabilities:
Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. 100W endpoints feature the same robust features as Itron's
60 series water endpoints to provide Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection. For more information
about Leak Detection and Reverse Flow Detection, see the Itron white paper Detecting Leaks and Reverse
Flow with 60 Series Endpoints see https://extranet-

Battery Life
Powered by two non-replaceable, long-life lithium batteries, the 100W has an expected battery life of 20 years
when the endpoint operates in default Mobile or Fixed Network Operating mode. To proactively indicate the
battery has reached a <10% useful battery life, a Low Battery flag is set to indicate impending battery failure.
100W and 100WP Transmission Modes
The 100W endpoint can be set to transmit in Fixed Network, Mobile High Power, Mobile and Handheld, or
Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode.
Fixed Network Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a high-powered NIM RF message every six
minutes and a contingency SCM RF message every minute.
Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a medium-powered SCM RF
message every 9 seconds.
(Optional) Mobile High Power Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a high-powered SCM RF
message every 60 seconds.
(Optional) Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100W water endpoint transmits a high-
powered SCM RF message every 30 seconds. The Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode should only
be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications.
Note The battery life is significantly affected in Hard to Read Mobile and Handheld Mode. You may use
the 900 MHz Remote Antenna to increase reading range.
An FCC license is not required to read 100W endpoint.

About the 100W Endpoint
TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 5
Proprietary and Confidential
100W Operating Modes
1. Factory Mode
100Ws ship from the factory in Factory Mode.
The endpoint's transmitter is off.
The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command.
100W encoder models attempt to read the register every hour.
Last good read and cut tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected.
If the 100W reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode (100W only).
2. Run Mode
100W normal operation mode.
The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption
messages (SCM) or network interval message (NIM).
For SCM, the 100W default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds.
For NIM, the 100W default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100W
transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. Program FN mode with a programming device
to configure NIM mode.
100WP Operating Modes
The 100WP has three standard operating modes.
1. Factory Mode
100WPs ship from the factory in Factory Mode.
The endpoint's transmitter is off.
The endpoint's receiver bubbles-up to listen for a programming command.
100WP encoder models attempt to read the register every hour.
Last good read and cut tamper flags may be set when a register is not connected.
If the 100WP reads a connected register, the endpoint automatically moves to Run Mode and defaults to a
zero consumption.

2. Run Mode
100WP’s normal operation mode.
The 100W transmitted message is dependent on its factory settings for standard consumption messages
(SCM) or network interval message (NIM).
For SCM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 9 seconds.
For NIM, the 100WP default bubble-up rate is 6 minutes. When the endpoint is set for NIM, the 100WP
transmits a contingency SCM message every minute. NIM mode is configured by programming NIM
mode with a programming device.
3. Quiet Mode
OEMs can configure the endpoint for quiet mode after programming and direct mounting the 100WP-R in
a factory.
An endpoint is awakened from quiet mode and enters Run Mode in one of two ways:
Counting two pulses. The pulses are counted internal to the 100WP-R while it is in quiet mode.
Receiving a two-way command, such as a Read ERT using FDM.
If an endpoint installed in quiet mode is not bubbling up SCM or NIM messages, it may be due to zero
consumption on the endpoint, such as a vacant or vacation home. Initiate a two-way command (for
example, perform a Read ERT with FDM) before removing the unit.

Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to connect the 100W or 100WP, to initialize the 100W endpoint,
connect the endpoint to the meter register, and program the 100WP endpoint. The 100W endpoint initializes
immediately when the endpoint is programmed with an approved handheld computer or the endpoint
recognizes the meter register and activates itself after connection to a register.
Caution To obtain an immediate reading, initialize the 100W with an approved handheld
computer. Failure to initialize the endpoint may delay the initial reading up to 1 hour.
Initializing the 100W
To initialize the 100W immediately, use one of the following handheld computers running Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) version 1.0 or later.
FC200SR handheld computer (Itron part number FC2-0005-004 or FC2-0006-004)
FC300 with SRead
For normal activation, connect the 100W to the water meter register. The endpoint polls for a register
every hour. The 100W automatically activates after the endpoint detects a register.
Connecting to a Meter Register Using the Inline Connector
The inline connector system easily allows a separation between the endpoint and meter register and provides
for general maintenance or system troubleshooting (see Using an Inline Connector on page 35).
Connecting to a Meter Register Using a Cable
You may connect the 100W endpoint to the water meter register using the 5-foot or 20-inch cable.
Caution The wire terminations must be properly sealed with a non-conductive gel
material to prevent water intrusion (otherwise, this configuration should not be used in a
pit box environment). Itron recommends the 5-foot cable configuration for OEM users
only.

FC300 with SRead
Notes
Each handheld radio requires special setup and configuration parameters to successfully read
and program 100W products. Refer to the respective meter reading application for specific
instructions.
When comparing the actual register value to that reported by the 100W endpoint, please keep
in mind the endpoint's consumption value is updated once an hour when it is in a Run Mode.
Caution Do not use ReadOne Pro, FS2PN, FS3PN, or FC200 readers to read the 100W
endpoint. These readers do not operate their receivers long enough or at the right frequency to
reliably capture a 100W endpoint transmission.

Rod Mount Installation
100W endpoints can mount below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 1/2-inch OD rod. The example
installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod. For more information, visit www.itron.com and
reference the Water Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002).
Warning The rod installation area must be free from other pipes, wires, or facilities that may be
damaged by driving a rod into the ground.
Caution You must follow local codes when using the rod mount installation method. Failure
to use 1/2-inch rod and follow instructions may result in an unreliable installation.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W using the wall mount
procedure:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio
performance and battery life.
Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors.

Installing the 100W Endpoint
TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 12
Proprietary and Confidential
Required Tools and Hardware
Hammer
1/2-inch outside diameter rod (you may use either a square or round rod)
Tape measure
Rod-driving tool (optional)
Rod cutting tool
The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W endpoint bottom and side view.
To install the 100W endpoint on a rod
1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions.
2. Measure the pit box depth from the top of the lip (where the lid will rest) to the bottom of the pit. Be sure
to measure the depth at the point where you will drive the rod into the ground.
3. Add 12 inches to the pit box depth measurement taken in step 5. The resulting total represents the
minimum length of rod needed. Soil types and moisture conditions may require longer rod lengths to
ensure the endpoint is well supported and remains vertical.

4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of the pit as
possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure the rod remains vertical.
Note The rod shown has an end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground.
5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the
pit lid.
If you cannot drive the rod in enough to equal the necessary spacing, cut the remaining rod length to
the proper height using an abrasive cut-off tool.
If the rod is the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer version.
Caution Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-off
tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles.

6. The top of the rod must be 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the lid. Place the endpoint on the rod.
Completely insert the rod into the endpoint's rod mount hole. Do not force the endpoint onto the rod. If the
endpoint does not slide freely on the rod, remove the endpoint and examine the endpoint rod hole and rod
for burrs or obstructions. You may secure the endpoint to the rod with a self-drilling screw through the
hole in the top of the 100W rod mount cavity. The screw mounting hole is shown in the following product
image.
7. Installation is complete when the endpoint is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. The endpoint must
not contact the pit structure or lid.
Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the endpoint when the lid is replaced. There must be a 1 to 2-
inch space between the top of the endpoint and the bottom of the pit lid. If the 100W endpoint is installed
too high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust as necessary.

a #10 pan head screw.
Caution Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. Over-tightening the mounting screws may break the
endpoint mounting tabs.
6. Start a screw into the pilot hole. Using the top hole of the endpoint, set the endpoint over the screw head
and slide it down so the screw is now at the top of the notch (as shown). Carefully tighten the screw until
snug. Over-tightening the mounting screw could crack the endpoint housing.
Note If mounting requires a screw anchor, mark the location of the bottom anchor and remove the
endpoint. Drill the required mounting hole, insert the anchor, and re-attach the endpoint.
7. Holding the 100W endpoint in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole. Use the bottom mounting
hole as a template.
Caution Any endpoint position other than upright may negatively affect radio performance and battery
life.
8. Screw the bottom screw into the pilot hole until snug. Do not over-tighten the mounting screw.
