Link to a CENTRON Meter
The range extender searches for CENTRON meters and attempts to join the meter with the
best signal quality. The meter with the best signal quality should typically be the
CENTRON meter on the same premise as the 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module but it could be
a different meter depending on the relative locations of all nearby meters.
To set up and verify the radio link to the CENTRON meter
1. If this is a new installation, temporarily mount the range extender in close proximity
to the location selected in
Select a Mounting Location on page 8.
• The arrow on the label must be pointing up.
•
Remember that mounting is temporary at this time because the range extender
may need to be moved.
2. To activate the radio joining process, hold the Itron magnet on the side of the range
extender over the label for approximately five seconds and then remove the magnet.

3. Watch the red LED to verify that the range extender has successfully joined to a

pattern of the red LED visible through the range extender's case.
