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
TheCellular 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.
