Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Introduction Inovonics submetering end-devices can be easily integrated into your EchoStream system using the following message information. EchoStream submetering end-devices include pulse meter transmitters, pulse meter transmitters with long-life battery, integrated water meters, and board-only integrator pulse meter transmitters.
Overview 1.3 EN1501-EXT Pulse Counting Transmitter for Integration The Inovonics pulse counting transmitter for integration is a board-only transmitter with external header pins. It is designed for integration into a customer-designed meter or product. The EN1501-EXT is for use in Australia, New Zealand, and North America. 1.3.1 Product Information http://www.inovonics.com/pulse-counting-transmitter-for-integration.aspx 1.3.
Overview Power ouput .Allows for another device to share battery power. Ground Connects to the ground. 1.3.3 EN1501-EXT Dimensions The FA5201-EXT dimensions are as follows: .095” from center of pin 1.55” Pin pitch: .1” (2.54 mm) .26” to center of first pin Pin length: .236” (6 mm) .365” from edge of board to end of pin .675” 3.25” Figure 1-2 FA5201-EXT Pin Configuration 1.3.4 EN1501-EXT Requirements 1.3.4.1 Power Power is supplied by the on-board 3v battery.
Overview 1.3.4.2 External Tamper Requirements The housing tamper switch and tamper pin have the same specification. Connecting the tamper pin to ground initiates the tamper condition. Once a transition (tamper connected/disconnected from ground) is detected, no further transitions can be processed for a debounce time of 250 ms. 1.3.4.3 Count Requirements The removable terminal block and count pin have the same specification.
Overview 1.5 EN1550 MetraMeter The Inovonics MetraMeter is an integrated meter and pulse counting transmitter. The water meter is the utility industry proven T-10 meter from Neptune Technology Group. The RF transmitter is protected inside the easyto-read register, eliminating resident tampering. The EN1550 is for use in Australia, New Zealand, and North America. 1.5.1 Product Information http://www.inovonics.com/metrameter.
Chapter 2 EN1501-EXT Pulse Counting Transmitter for Integration Installation Instructions 2.1 Connecting the EN1501-EXT Pulse Counting Transmitter The EN1501-EXT is designed to be easily interfaced with your meter or product, however integration must conform to the following: A. The EN1501-EXT must only be connected at the four pin header. B. All cables and wires must be routed away from the component side of the EN1501-EXT. C.
Chapter 3 EN1501-EXT Pulse Counting Transmitter for Integration Compliance Requirements 3.1 FCC Requirements for the EN1501-EXT The EN1501-EXT has received a Limited Modular Grant, requiring Inovonics to retain control of the final installation to ensure compliance to FCC/IC regulations. The integrator is responsible to test the final installation to verify compliance to FCC/IC regulation for unintentional emissions.
EN1501-EXT Pulse Counting Transmitter for Integration Compliance Requirements designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Chapter 4 Registration 4.1 Registration Overview Every device is programmed with a four-byte unique identification (UID) number. The UID is sent with every message, indicating the device which transmitted it. The UID is made up of a one-byte market identification (MID) number and a three-byte serial number. The bar code label on each printed circuit board includes the eight digit serial number. For example the bar code label “00991240-2028B-1” begins with the eight-digit serial number: 00991240.
Registration 3. The application controller receives the registration message, associates the device’s UID with appropriate application information, and lets the end user know registration was successful. 4.3 Registration Procedure from the Developer’s Perspective The developer must provide 1. A means of initiating an inbound registration message from the device to the network coordinator.
Registration recovery from an electrostatic discharge event. The identical type of reset message transmitted during the registration process is transmitted by the device during these instances, however the application controller must process these messages differently. If the application controller is not in registration mode and a reset message from a previously registered device is received, the application controller should record this message in its event log as a device reset.
Chapter 5 Message Information 5.1 Submetering Message Information Submetering end devices transmit meter and status information after ten pulses are received or after approximately sixty minutes since the last transmission, whichever comes first. Messages from security end-devices to the gateway adhere to the format defined following. Note: The format of EchoStream messages will vary depending on the message type. Always check the message class byte before attempting to determine the contents of a message.
Message Information FUTURE: [Trace UID1 (4)]...[Trace UIDn (4)] - Unique ID of each device that repeats this message. [Hop count (1)] – The number of times this message was relayed by a device. [0x3E] - Message class byte for submetering data. [PTI] - Product type identifier. Note: See “Submetering End Device Product Type Identifiers” on page 16 for product type identifier information. [STAT1] - Application flags. Bit 7 - Delta totalizer. Bit 6 - Rapid transmission mode. Bit 5 - Reserved.
Message Information 5.2 Submetering End Device Product Type Identifiers 5.2.1 Product Naming Conventions • “ES” indicates EchoStream products with selectable 868 or 900 MHz operation. • “EN” indicates EchoStream products that operate at 900 MHz only. • “EE” indicates EchoStream products that operate at 868 MHz only. • “E*” represents products available in both EE and EN versions. 5.2.
