SCM+: SCM+ is a new message for Itron’s electric,
gas and water endpoints. This message
transmits more information than previous
generation messages, including:
» All tampers and alarms (including
extended tampers and low battery alarm)
» Up to 1/100th gallon resolution of water
meters that support 9 dials.
Data Logging: The 100W+ stores 40 days of hourly consumption information, which can be collected by the fixed network system to leverage real time data collection or can be read by mobile or handheld systems. This data is presented in four basic use cases:
» A reading from any hour within the last 40 days
» A set of 24 consecutive hourly readings
» A set of 40 daily readings
» A set of 40 days of hourly interval data
are available even in mobile mode
Water Meter Compatibility: The 100W+ communication module is
compatible with water meters from all
major manufacturers such as Badger,
RG3, Kamstrup, Hersey, Master Meter,
Neptune and Sensus, enabling water
utilities to consolidate all their water
meters under a single reading system.
Powered by proven, advanced lithium
battery technology; the module is designed
for 20 years of battery life in both fixed
network and mobile modes.
Superior Performance: The 100W+ communication module utilizes
120 radio channels in fixed network and 50
radio channels in mobile and handheld
modes, randomly selecting one channel for
each data message. Itron’s unique multi-channel solutions maximize the use of all
available bandwidth, allowing more data
to flow through the network and enabling
faster drive-by speeds. The 100W+ will
transmit the fixed network consumption
message at peak radiated power greater
than 1 Watt.
Reliability: 100W+ communication modules feature a
circuit assembly and battery pack that are
fully encapsulated within a specially formulated potting material to completely
protect internal components from water,
contaminants, corrosion, rough handling
and temperature cycling. With their
straight forward, rugged design, 100W+
communication modules use substantially fewer components than most competing
products, resulting in greater reliability. The
advanced, integrated antenna operates
effectively in a wide range of meter box
installations. The 100W+ offers peace of
mind with a 20 year limited warranty.
