Introduction
Itron’s Remote Mount Cellular 500G Modules (hereafter referred to as Cellular 500G)are
IPV4/IPv6 open standards-based gas modules designed to be read under Itron’s multi-
purpose Network Mode or by legacy Mobile Mode. In Network Mode. The Cellular 500G offers
firmware download, sub-hourly interval data, and extended data storage. In Mobile Mode. The
Cellular 500G operates identically to the 100G DLS Dataglogging Remote Module. Itron
Cellular 500Gs can be read by legacy handhelds and mobile or the new Itron Mobile Radio
readers. The Cellular 500G continues Itron’s tradition of reliability, accuracy, and long battery
life while supporting the industry’s standards for security and intrinsic safety.
The Cellular 500G features tilt and cut cable-event reporting and security seals to indicate
physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when communications fail
between the meter or instrumentand the Cellular 500G, possibly from a cut or disconnected
cable. The Cellular 500G circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable
alarm or event.

Security
TheCellular 500G is a component of Itron’s OpenWay system. The module’s system security,
provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications between the
collection device and the module.
There are two fundamental security processes used in the Itron Security Manager to ensure
system communication confidentiality and validity.

■Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or
valid. Authentication in the module is the process of verifying a 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.
As a component of the Itron OpenWay solution, the module supports the security model found
in the OpenWay solution for both reading and programming. If the modules are shipped
without security enabled (ready to secure), the utility can—at a later date—configure the
modules for ISM enhanced security.
Important! Modules ordered pre-programmed with security injected and specified
as Zero Touch Deployment require that the installer rotates the wriggler five (5)
times to activate the module to join the network if the module is installed in a location
with little or no gas flow.
Transmission Modes
In Network Mode, the module provides 3,840 buckets of configurable interval data. Interval
options are 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Note: Interval data options are dependent on the module’s firmware version. For more
information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
Output power in Network Mode is designed to transmit three times a day with a 20-year
battery life.
In Mobile Mode, the module provides 960 buckets of hourly interval data and can be set to
transmit in mobile and handheld, hard to read mobile and handheld. Mobile Mode
transmission modes include the following transmission characteristics:
Mobile High Power Mode
The module transmits a high-powered Radio Frequency (RF) message every 60 seconds. In
Mobile High Power Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.
Mobile and Handheld Mode
The module transmits a medium-powered RF message every 15 seconds. In Mobile and
Handheld Mode, the expected battery life is 20 years.

(Optional) Hard to Read Mode
The module transmits a high-powered RF message every 30 seconds. In Hard to Read Mode,
the expected battery life decreases to 15 years in this mode. The hard to read mobile mode
should only be used for exceptionally hard-to-read applications (such as meters installed on
rooftops or in sub-basements).
Caution: If you perform a switch to Network Mode or Switch to Mobile Mode
operation, it results in a loss of interval data.
Neither an ISEDnor an FCC license is not required to read the modules.
Highlighted Features
The following sections describe highlighted features in theItron gas modules (these features
vary by module type and installed firmware).
Gas Day Take
Note: Gas Day Take functionality is dependent on the Cellular 500G firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
Gas Day Take (GDT) is critical to many natural gas utilities. GDT allows utilities to manage
deregulated gas purchases. While daily GDT reads can be used for various operations within
the utility, the primary time constrained business operation is to daily balance deregulated
(transport) customers. GDT requires GDT data from a percentage (typically a maximum of
10%) of the utility’s customers at 9:00 AM Central Clock Time (CCT).
All collected data must be prepared and presented to deregulated marketers and customers
by 11:00 AM CCT to support the gas utility’s deregulated tariff. If a deregulated marketer or
customer under- or over-burns what they nominated for a given day, they may pay a daily
penalty. Customers require the previous day’s GDT data to make adjustments to their next
day nomination to avoid penalties.
High Flow Event/Alarm
Note: High Flow event functionality is dependent on the module's firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
High Flow is a configurable event/alarm that can alert a utility of an excessive flow of gas to
avoid potential hazardous events. The High Flow threshold can be configured using Field
Deployment Manager (FDM) Tools for the OpenWay Collection Manager (OWCM) for
OpenWay modules.

Local Auditing
Note: Local auditing functionality is dependent on the module’s firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
The Cellular 500G supports local data auditing of installation programming. Local auditing
features the listed characteristics.
■Supports writing data (in both manufacturing and by FDM) to the module to support future
installation programming auditing.
■Reading the auditing data is supported locally.
■Auditing parameters include FDM User ID, number of dials, meter drive rate, unit of
measure, count rate, rollover, and PComp.
■Timestamping of auditing parameters.
■Log access via Companion Specification for Energy Metering (COSEM) only.
Low Battery Event/Alarm
Note: For Cellular 500Gs, low-battery functionality is dependent on the module’s firmware
version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
The Cellular 500Gs’ low-battery events are flagged when the device reaches a 10% of battery
life remaining state. The event triggers an alarm configurable for asynchronous delivery to the
head end system.
