About the 100T
-HON Honeywell Telemetry Module
Itron 100T-HON telemetry modules are radio-frequency (RF) devices designed to transmit meter and instrument data to an RF meter reading device within transmission distance of the module. The 100T-HON is designed to interface specifically with Honeywell Mercury Instrument devices and communicates using a protocol similar to other Itron AMR devices. The 100T-HON provides both a traditional meter reading RF interface and a new telemetry RF interface. The 100T-HON module physically connects to the Honeywell device.
Honeywell devices support several output mechanisms, but the majority of the information required for the 100T-HON module is collected over an RS-232 serial connection with the exception being the pulse output representing uncorrected mechanical volumes that can be optionally added to Mini-Max, Mini-Max AT, Mini­Max ATX, Mini-Max Rotary, and Mini-AT volume correctors.
The 100T-HON telemetry module features cut, tilt-tamper and cable-tamper reporting and security seals to indicate physical tampering and minimize theft. Cut cable is reported when the cable is cut or disconnected from the instrument or telemetry module. The module circuitry senses an electrical current break to report a cut cable tamper event.

Mercury Devices Supported by the 100T-HON

The 100T-HON telemetry module supports two Mercury Instrument types:
Electronic Volume Corrector
• Mini-Max, Mini-Max AT, Mini-Max ATX and Mini-Max Rotary Correctors
• Mini-AT
Mini-AT Mini-Max
Electronic Pressure Recorder
• ERX

Transmission Modes

The 100T-HON telemetry module can be set to transmit in fixed network or mobile and handheld mode.
• Fixed Network Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a high-powered network interval
message (NIM) RF message every five minutes. Output power in this mode is 500 milliwatts or +27 dBm. Interspersed with the high power NIM, the 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a medium power RF message every 60 seconds at 10 milliwatts or +10 dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.
• Mobile and Handheld Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module transmits a medium-powered RF
message (Beacon) every 15 seconds. Output power in this mode is 10 milliwatts or +10dBm; expected battery life is 20 years.
An FCC license is not required to read 100T-HON telemetry modules.

100T-HON Telemetry Module Messaging

The 100T-HON telemetry module messaging is dependent on the transmission mode. 100T-HON telemetry module messaging supports two bubble-up (BUP) message types and two-way commands.
• Normal BUP
• Alarm BUP. If a critical alarm is detected, the 100T-HON telemetry module enters an alarm state and
transmits the alarm details. An alarm state causes the following events:
• While the alarm window is active, any scheduled normal fixed network or mobile BUP messages are
not transmitted.
• If an acknowledgment is received, the 100T-HON telemetry module returns to its normal BUP
transmission schedule. The normal mobile and fixed network BUP messages will contain the appropriate tamper flags set in the message.
• If an acknowledgment is not received by the 100T-HON telemetry module after the programmed
number of alarm BUP retries, the device returns to its normal BUP transmission schedule. The 100T­HON telemetry module transmits normal mobile and fixed network BUP messages with the appropriate alarm tamper flags set.
Alarm BUP messages contain the following information:
• Alarm ID defining the cause of the alarm
• Endpoint ID
• Utility ID
• Current extended tamper field values (ready to secure mode only)
Two-Way Commands. Fixed network and mobile command messages manage and control the status of the 100T-HON telemetry module.

Itron Security Manager

The 100T-HON telemetry module addresses two types of security, ChoiceConnect networking and 100T­HON to Honeywell device communication, provided by Itron Security Manager.
ChoiceConnect Networking
The first model is a traditional Itron protocol that includes a complete system knowledge of the content and purpose of each message. Security related decisions such as which key type (for example, reading or command keys) to use when securing a message are based on the command function.
100T-HON Telemetry Module Security
The second message model is a telemetry security model. The application level message details are not known to the ChoiceConnect system components. Messages may contain commands ranging from reading data to those that update the state of the Honeywell device. The 100T-HON telemetry module allows 100T two-way requests to be sent and processed through the 100T-HON telemetry module in a basic security fashion, if the command does not change the security state of the Honeywell device.

Operating Modes

The 100T-HON telemetry module operating modes determine the module's default packet types, bubble-up rates, and transmit power levels.
Factory Ship. Factory ship mode conserves the module battery between the time it ships from the factory until it is deployed in the field. In factory ship mode, the module will not transmit but will periodically turn on its receiver and listen for a command. While the module is in factory ship mode, the module will not attempt to periodically log onto the Honeywell device to retrieve data.
Audit Mode. Audit mode reduces the read latency time so an audit can be performed on a population of modules after installation.
Quiet Mode. Quiet mode is very similar to factory ship mode except that the module exits quiet mode automatically after a pre-configured period of time.
Fixed Network. Fixed network mode is chosen when the device will be read by a fixed network. The 100T­HON telemetry module behavior varies based on the connected Honeywell device.
• EVC. When the module is connected to a Honeywell EVC device, the following message types are
supported:
Bubble-up Messages:
Channel-based hourly consumption (NIM-chl)
Handheld and mobile contingency (SCM+)
Optional gas day take (GDT)
Optional Honeywell alarm messages (100T-HON telemetry module Alarm BUP).

Optional Honeywell alarm message (100T alarm BUP)
Telemetry requests/responses

Mobile Mode. The 100T-HON telemetry module is set to mobile mode when the device will be read by a handheld and/or mobile system. Mobile mode can support varying data loads and RF propagation challenges. Mobile mode sub-modes are listed in the following table:
Normal
frequent bubble-up rates at relatively low power levels.
Hard-to-read Hard-to-read mode is used for cases where there are RF signal issues but the size
of the data transmitted is in line with the endpoints operating in the normal mode. Characteristics of hard-to-read mode include less frequent bubble-up rates (to conserve power) at higher transmit power levels.
Mobile high power Mobile high power mode is used for times when the data amount retrieved from
the 100T-HON telemetry module is so large that drive-by collection is not practical. In mobile high power cases, the mobile unit will have to park for some time to capture all of the requested data. Characteristics of mobile high power mode include less frequent bubble-up rates (less than hard-to-read mode) at higher transmit power levels.
