1Series IV Concentrator U and I Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 5PrefaceThis guide describes the installation and use processes for Gridstream Concentrators. Any training provided directly to installers and users by the utility or by the Project Management Team takes precedence over this guide.About the Landis+Gyr Gridstream NetworkThe Gridstream Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network transfers information from a number of endpoints distributed over a large geographical area. The most common endpoint sources are from electrical, gas, and water endpoints. The network includes a Radio Frequency (RF) Wide Area Network (WAN) and an RF Local Area Network (LAN). The WAN includes Collectors (Take Out Points, or TOPs) and concentrators. The LAN is the RF link between the concentrator and endpoints with Gridstream modules installed. Endpoints transmit data via radio frequency (RF) to the concentrator where it is stored and processed. The concentrator transmits the data via RF to the Collector and then to the utility. This chapter prepares the reader for details and procedures that appear in following chapters about the concentrator installation process.About the ConcentratorThe Concentrator is a device that receives one-way endpoint data from the network, processes that data, and sends it to a Collector. It also receives and passes, but does not process, 2-way data. The concentrator contains:• a LAN radio (BLT 3) • a WAN radio (Gridstream IWR) •a power supply • a processor board (CPU) • a battery pack in case of an AC power outage. About This GuideThis edition of the Landis+Gyr Series IV Gridstream Concentrator User and Installation Guide provides: • Basic installation procedure for concentrators.• A task-based overview of detailed instructions for using concentrators.

2Series IV Concentrator U and I Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 9Pre-InstallationProper planning and thorough preparation are critical to successful Concentrator installation. This chapter outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase of the concentrator deployment process.Safety OverviewPrior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer safety training plan for initial, refresher, and ongoing safety training. Ensure that installers receive appropriate initial and refresher training to meet their specific safety-related responsibilities. You must provide safety training when:• an existing installer assumes new duties for which they have not previously received training.• new processes and methodologies representing new risks are introduced into the installation environment.• previously unidentified risks are reported.The installation supervisory team assumes responsibility for ensuring that installers are properly trained, authorized, and continually qualified to perform their work. The team must also take responsibility for the safety of their installers and to assure safe work methodologies. Installers must understand that their supervisor’s responsibility does not relieve them from their individual responsibility to perform the work safely and to follow all safety rules and procedures applicable to their work.
Chapter 2 - Pre-Installation Landis+Gyr10 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I GuidePre-Installation ChecklistBe prepared before you go onsite. The following list includes most pre-install items.Table 2-1. Pre-Install ChecklistItem DescriptionSite Survey The utility has surveyed the area to determine optimal locations for concentrator installation. Landis+Gyr offers this professional service as a contract option.Obtain Necessary Permits When the concentrator is to be installed on utility or municipal property such as utility poles, there is a general agreement to install on these poles. There may be a requirement for the utility or municipality to approve individual sites. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that approval has been given for each installation.Network Installation Timeline The Network Installation Plan specifies and formalizes the entire concentrator installation plan. Perform all surveys in advance to ensure ample time for make-ready work as well as addressing any unforeseen installation issues. All concentrators will be installed, quality-checked, and online prior to any endpoint installation in a scheduled route.Tools and Equipment The latter part of this chapter has detailed tool and equipment information.Bucket Truck Procure all necessary barricade and traffic permits for the bucket truck as required, unless covered by prior permits.Supervision Your organization has rules regarding supervision in the field. If you note any deviation from the specified installation criteria, contact your supervisor immediately.ID Badges Your identification badge should be clearly visible at all times. If you lose or damage your ID, notify your Field Supervisor immediately to get a replacement. You are not allowed to work in the field without one.

Select Disable RF Filter from the pop-up menu.About Battery StorageThe ideal storage environment is normal room temperature or slightly below. Excess temperature shortens the battery life and accelerates self discharge. Charge batteries at least once per year or sooner if needed. The battery open circuit voltage should not be allowed to drop below 12V.Battery TestYou must use RadioShop 3.4 or higher to run the battery test. See the applicable RadioShop Getting Started Guide for information on using RadioShop to test the concentrator battery.The new Autoranging power supply (25-1008 or 25-1025) can be software-enabled into battery test mode. Disconnect the battery charger from the battery to place a load across the battery. Measure the battery voltage before, during, and at the end of this test to discover bad or weak batteries. This test is more effective than measuring the battery voltage without a load on the battery. All Series IV (and Series III) radios will have this capability. The Series II and IIb may have this capability if retrofitted with kit, P/N 45-1029 (other kits may be available).Recycle or dispose of batteries properly.Do not mutilate or dispose of batteries in fire. Fire may release toxic materials from the batteries. Short-circuiting batteries may cause burns.

6Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 53Performing System UpgradesWhat Are System Upgrades?There are three kinds of upgrades you can perform on a concentrator:• The concentrator firmware• The IWR radio firmware• The IWR radio DCW.Accessing a Concentrator for ProgrammingThere are two ways to access a concentrator for upgrading:•Over the air• Directly via cable (About Programming and Diagnostic Cables, for more information).Upgrading a Concentrator Over the Air (OTA)You can remotely download firmware to the concentrator via a command window from your PC. You must have control-level user access to the host to perform this procedure. About the Image FileLandis+Gyr Customer Operations manages upgrades to firmware. Landis+Gyr notifies you when there is a new release of firmware and makes the file available. To upgrade firmware, load the concentrator with a new “image.bin” file. Contact Customer Operations at ëçäìíáçåëìééçêíKå~]ä~åÇáëÖóêKÅçã for more information or to obtain the latest version of the firmware.The download application utility runs on the host backend via a process called Live System update (LSU). The host connects over the air (OTA) to the concentrator. The host automatically:1. Sends the new firmware information to the concentrator. 2. Polls the concentrator to verify that the download is complete. 3. Disconnects when the download is complete.
Chapter 6 - Performing System Upgrades Landis+Gyr54 98-1031 Rev AA Concentrator User and Installation GuideVerifying the Concentrator and the HostBefore sending large amounts of data over the network, verify communication with the concentrator.

DCWs execute within Gridstream devices and provide the ability to control the device. The DCW interacts with firmware and directs the radio to do things such as reboot or perform advanced functions. Verify with your Landis+Gyr representative that you are using the latest available version of the RadioShop application.For instance, the MCCTIME.hex DCW contains the current version of MCC Helper. MCC Helper queries the radio to get its ID, and begins sending discovery packets to the assigned Take Out Point.

Contact Landis+Gyr Customer Operations at ëçäìíáçåëìééçêíKå~]ä~åÇáëÖóêKÅçã with questions.Verifying ConfigurationIf the network does not discover a concentrator, verify that the correct Network ID and destination are programmed into the radio. If so, then verify that the radio can communicate with the TOP. To verify communications with the TOP, use the ping command in the Network Configuration Manager application.

Appendix C - Bench Testing Landis+Gyr84 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I GuideTesting ConcentratorsThe steps involved in the test process are explained below.1. Configuration. Configure the concentrators in the test bench 24 hours before starting the test. 2. Verification. Perform the actual test verification procedure at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) prior to the deployment.3. Reconfiguration. Before the final deployment, reconfigure concentrators for the utility Network ID. Modify the default destination address to one of the utility TOPs.Configuration Both the Console/LAN Packet Protocol cable (PN 19-1126) and the Network Configuration Manager application are required to configure the WAN radio in the concentrator. The test Network ID and the Default Destination address of the test TOP are highlighted in Figure C.2.Figure C.2 Sample Network Configuration Manager settings for concentrators
Landis+Gyr Appendix C - Bench TestingSeries IV Concentrator U and I Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 85VerificationTo verify the operational condition of the concentrator:1. Connect the Console port DB9 connector of the Console/LAN Packet Protocol cable (PN 19-1126) to the COM port of a laptop or a PC. 2. Configure the port for the following:•9600 baud•8 bits•No parity•1 Stop bit•No flow controlCheck the concentrator via the console menu interface. There are three components:• WAN Health Check• CPU and Configuration Check• LAN Health CheckWAN Health CheckThe WAN health is determined based on the TIME exchange between the CPU and the Gridstream WAN Radio. WAN conditions and their interpretation are provided below.Ideal WANFigure C.3 shows output under ideal conditions. This scenario indicates that the CPU to Gridstream Radio serial communication and the Gridstream network is operational.Figure C.3 Boot up WAN
Appendix C - Bench Testing Landis+Gyr86 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I GuideInconsistent WANThis condition indicates that the CPU is communicating with the Gridstream Radio. However, the Gridstream radio is not able to acquire time. If the time is not acquired in 2 to 3 minutes, the Gridstream network in the cross dock is not operational. Check the test TOP application, the Gridstream Radio connected to the test Take Out Point, Gridstream antennas, etc.Figure C.4 Broken WANInoperable WANThis condition indicates that the communication between the Gridstream Radio and the CPU is inoperable (or) the Gridstream radio is not configured correctly.1. Configure the Gridstream radio into the cross-dock test network as described above.2. Make sure that the “MCCTIME” Helper DCW is loaded in the radio. A device control word (DCW) is a program written in the Gridstream programming language. DCW programs execute within Gridstream devices and provide the ability to control the device. The DCW sits on top of the firmware and directs the radio when it is time to reboot or perform advanced math functions.3. Power cycle the concentrator and check for the time again.Figure C.5 Broken WANCPU Configuration CheckTo perform a check on the CPU configuration:If the concentrator still does not pick time, then the unit has a inoperable WAN.

DSeries IV Concentrator U and I Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 89About FirmwareThe concentrator is an integrated unit consisting of• Gridstream Series IV Integrated WAN Radio (IWR)• BLT IV LAN Radio• ConnectCore 9C CPU moduleThe ConnectCore 9C (CC9C) module is built on NetSilicon 32-bit NET+ARM technology. This is a fully integrated system-on-chip, which provides embedded networking connectivity and additional main processor performance and bandwidth to handle sophisticated embedded applications.The features of the CC9C module are below:• 32-bit NS9360 processor, operating at 155MHz• 8MB Flash and 32 MB• 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface with on-board RJ-45 connector• Four, high-speed serial ports. (Three ports out of four ports are used by the concentrator, the fourth is for PC communications)• Real Time Clock (Processor powered, no battery backup)CC9C Serial Port ConfigurationThe CC9C provides a general purpose I/O (GPIO) interface. The GPIO lines corresponding to Serial port A, B and C are connected to the console, Gridstream WAN Radio and BLT LAN Radio. The details of the ConnectCore module are described in “ConnectCore™ 9C Hardware Reference. Part number/version: 90000722_A Release date: June 2005."All the serial ports are configured in UART mode. Except for baud rate, serial port parameters on all the ports are configured for 8 Bits, No Stop Bits, 1 Parity Bit (8, N, 1) and handshake mode is 'none'.The console port operates at 9600 baud, the WAN port operates at 19200 baud and the LAN port operates at 19200 baud.Startup Firmware ImagesThe concentrator firmware consists of two image files, “rom.bin” and “image.bin”. The file “rom.bin” is also referred to as the boot image. The file “image.bin” is also referred as the main/
Appendix D - About Firmware Landis+Gyr90 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I Guideapplication image. Both these images reside in the flash memory of the concentrator. The application image resides in a compressed form in the Flash memory.During the boot-up, these image files are loaded from the Flash memory into the RAM and executed in the RAM. The following sections describe the concentrator boot-up.Initialization and Boot Image LoadingThe boot image consists of a ROM boot image that is executed directly from Flash, and a RAM boot image that is stored in a compressed form in flash, and executed from RAM. The ROM boot image executes at power up and it:1. Executes the basic BSP initialization code to bring up the H/W.2. Decompresses the RAM boot image from Flash to RAM.3. Starts the RAM boot image.Application Image LoadingThe RAM boot image determines which application image to execute. This is based on the boot bank configuration stored in the NVRAM/EEPROM section of the Flash memory. The RAM boot image during its execution:• Identifies the appropriate application image stored in flash.• Decompresses the application image from Flash to RAM• Starts the RAM application image.Application Image StartupThe application image initializes all the necessary device divers and brings up the NET+OS operating system. The NET+OS operating system after completing its initialization passes on the control to the Concentrator Application. There are two execution modes (Diagnostics and Application) in the concentrator. The following sections describe boot-up and provide details on the execution modes.Concentrator Boot-UpNormally, the NET+OS configuration option displays during the boot-up. During concentrator boot-up, the network parameters required for configuring the TCP/IP are combined into the diagnostics

The following figure describes boot-up.Figure D.1 Boot UpDiagnostics ModeDuring the startup, the following question displays on the console:If the input is 'y', the concentrator goes into diagnostics mode. The diagnostic mode has limited functionality. The WAN port and the LAN port are not activated in this mode. This mode helps the user to:• Configure the concentrator;• Browse and capture the Ramlog; and• Perform diagnostics tests.Diagnostics modes are described in the following sections.Diagnostics ModeThe diagnostics mode provides more diagnostics. In addition, this mode provides option to configure the TCP/IP Network Parameters.Figure D.2 Diagnostics ModeBoot up to Diagnostics Mode ...? (y/n)y

At the end of this test, the EEPROM would be configured to default values (based on the user input). The details of the tests performed are described in Figure D.4.Figure D.5 Manufacturing tests in diagnostics modeApplication ModeThe application mode initializes the LAN, WAN and all the necessary device drivers for normal operation. After initializing LAN and WAN, before all the system tasks are started, the concentrator waits for time from the Gridstream radio. The details of the time synchronization mechanism between the concentrator and the Gridstream WAN are explained below. Upon acquiring the TIME from the Gridstream radio, the concentrator gets into the normal application mode.
Appendix D - About Firmware Landis+Gyr94 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I GuideTIME from Gridstream NetworkThe concentrator has a Real Time Clock (RTC). However, this clock is processor powered, and has no battery backup. Therefore, time is not remembered by the concentrator during resets. The concentrator waits for the time from the Gridstream Radio. The RTC is programmed with the latest time from the concentrator.Application Troubleshooting without TIMEIn the field, there may be instances where there is no WAN connectivity and, it may be required to troubleshoot the concentrator. During boot-up, the following message is displayed on the console by the concentrator.If any key is pressed during this wait period, the concentrator goes into the troubleshooting mode. In this mode, the TIME is set a default hard coded time as shown below.Persistent Data StorageData StorageThere are four persistent logical data storage in the concentrator. They are:• EEPROM - This stores the system configuration information. The information stored in this is not affected by the concentrator resets. The configuration parameters stored in the EEPROM are captured in Appendix B - EEPROM Configuration Parameters;• Device Tracking Table (DTT) - This is a persistent table. This table is used to store the endpoint address and their performance metrics.• Endpoint Database (aka ODE database) - This is the main database in the concentrator. This is a object database. Every endpoint is represented in the form of an object.• Ramlog - This is an in-memory file, which contains the system log. This file is preserved over the resets.All these persistent elements are stored in the flash memory. The EEPROM is stored in the last 64K segment of the Flash memory. Rest of the data elements is stored in the Data Storage area of Flash memory. A concentrator reboot/reset is required to navigate back from troubleshooting mode to the normal application mode.Waiting for TIME from Gridstream Radio...Press Any Key to continue without time...System Startup at Wed May 26 07:02:12 2010
Landis+Gyr Appendix D - About FirmwareSeries IV Concentrator U and I Guide 98-1031 Rev AA 95Impact of Boot-up on Data StorageThe concentrator boot-up/reset impacts the data storage. The nature of the impact varies based on the type of the boot-up. There are three kinds of boot-up:• Cold Boot - DTT is cleaned up. ODE is cleaned up. The concentrator will not remember any endpoints.• Warm boot - DTT is intact. ODE is cleaned up. The concentrator remembers the endpoints it heard. However, there are no database objects corresponding to them.• Hot Boot - DTT is intact; and ODE is intact.CapacityThe following table describes the data storage capacity in concentrators.Cycling PowerTo immediately reboot the concentrator, perform the following steps:1. Disconnect the AC cable from its connection on the concentrator.2. Wait five seconds.3. Re-connect the AC power cable to the concentrator.Table D-1.

Improper Power TerminationIf power connections of this type are to be made, the 105627-000 and 105627-001 must be used. Note that a drip loop at both at both ends of the cable is needed. If using the 105704-000, 105704-001, 105704-002, or 105704-003 cables, the end of the cable opposite the connector (the unterminated end) must be installed in a junction box or other suitable enclosure. Leaving the end of the cable exposed may allow water to migrate into the cable and into the Concentrator. See below for power cable installation procedures and details.
Appendix G - Power Cable Installation Landis+Gyr102 98-1031 Rev AA Series IV Concentrator U and I GuideRecommendationsWhen existing 105704-XXX cables are used, they must be terminated inside a junction or disconnect box. The inner wires cannot be exposed until after the 105704-XXX cable enters the enclosure. Once inside the box, connect the power leads to wires going to the mains per local practice. Connections to the mains must use UV-stable wiring. As long as the wire is UV-stable and rated for outdoor use, the wire model and manufacturer may be selected by the programs. Part number 18-1033 wire is acceptable and recommended.In published examples, Collector cables are shown going through conduit. Conduit is not required for Concentrators, but the entrance to the junction box should be through a clamp at the bottom of the junction box. Junction boxes do not have a part number and are available through local vendors. As always, electrical connections need to meet the requirements of the local utility and local ordinances. The following diagram shows an installation using a junction box with a Concentrator. If 105704-XXX cable is used, then this installation procedure is required. Figure G - 2. Suggested Power Termination If the 105627-XXX cable is used, then the cable can go directly to the mains, provided drip loops are made between the mains and the Concentrator. The drip loop at the point of attachment to the mains should hang below the level of the point of attachment. CONCENTRATORPOLEXFRMJUNCTION OR DISCONNECT BOX105704-XXX CABLEUV STABLE WIRESDRIP LOOP
