Optional remote water disconnect valve installation
This section describes installation of a remote water disconnect valve in an OpenWay Riva
water system.
The pit module automatically detects the presence of connected water disconnect devices.
The pit module automatically detects the device within 22.5 minutes and begins reading
disconnect valve data. To immediately detect the water disconnect valve and begin reading
data, perform a
Check ERT
with a handheld computer running FDM software.
The disconnect valve is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor
(mounting on the exterior of the house) pit module installations. Water disconnect devices
are mounted on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the
center telemetry connector (blue) on the pit module as described in Installing the Remote
Water Disconnect Valve.
Note
: Remote water disconnect operation requires an pit module with enhanced security
enabled.
Installing the remote water disconnect valve
The remote water disconnect valve ships from the supplier with the Itron cable installed. See
the manufacturer's installation instructions for the procedure to mount the disconnect valve
in the pipe close to the pit module.
Caution
: Remote disconnect valves must connect to the telemetry (blue port) of
the module. Connecting the disconnect valve to the optional remote antenna
(red) or register (black) port will cause electrical damage to the disconnect valve
and pit module.
1. Remove the protective plastic cover from the module's connector ports.
