Chapter 3 About the OpenWay Riva GasRemote DisconnectThe Itron wireless OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect valve is integrated in the pipingserving OpenWay Riva networks to provide a safe secure device to stop the flow of naturalgas into a residential or commercial structure. The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnectenables system monitoring with functionality to remotely-control the natural gas supply. Anexternally connected water sensor detects flood water and supports auto-shutoff in extremeweather conditions. In the event of a disconnect due to an extreme weather condition, theOpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect sends an alarm to the head-end system.Communications with the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect device are securely sentbetween programming and monitoring devices using Itron Security Manager (ISM). ISMensures operation occurs over a secured network. The secure network allows for both openand close remote commands to facilitate operation and keep field personnel safe fromhazardous or unwelcome locations.The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is made up of two separate chambers: the gaschamber and the electronics chamber.• The gas chamber houses the gas valve used to shut off the flow of gas with a remotecommand. The gas valve shaft provides a visual indication of the valve position. A specialhardware tool is required to re-engage the gas flow mechanism. Re-engaging the valveto restore the flow of gas requires a qualified technician's intervention to send a wirelesscommand to enable the re-engagement and to use the valve tool to physically open thevalve. If the valve was tampered with to force the valve to remain in an open position, thesystem reports the tampering.• The electronics chamber houses the monitoring and wireless radio circuitry. Theelectronics chamber is protected with a tamper plug installed over one of the fourfasteners. If the electronics are compromised, the OpenWay Riva Gas RemoteDisconnect reports at least one tamper flag.• The valve engagement mechanism is protected by an industry standard tamper plug.The OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect can be installed in any horizontal or verticalposition that locates the mounting seal in the upright position while it facilitates gas flow inthe proper direction. Locating the mounting seal in an upright position ensures optimumbattery life and helps to keep debris from accumulating on the seal surface.OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect modelsThe OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is available in the listed models.OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect description Itron part numberFlood sensor with 2' resistive type cable TEL-7103-002Flood sensor with 5' resistive type cable TEL-7103-003OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Installation Guide TDC-1759-000 7Proprietary and Confidential
OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect systemsecurityThe OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is a component of Itron's OpenWay Rivasystem. The OpenWay Riva system enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager(ISM), applies to the RF communications between the collection device and the OpenWayRiva Gas Remote Disconnect. There are two fundamental security processes used in theItron Security Manager to ensure system communication confidentiality and validity.•Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine orvalid. Authentication in the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect is the process ofverifying a request is from a valid source and in its original form.•Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadableto 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 orencrypt information. Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a publickey to decrypt. Data transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256encryption.Enabling OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect securityWhen the OpenWay Gas Remote Disconnects ship from an Itron factory, each modulecontains utility factory keys. The presence of these utility factory keys does not enable theenhanced security. The installer enables the enhanced security at the time the OpenWayRiva Gas Remote Disconnect is deployed or at a later time using an Itron programmingdevice, Field Deployment Manager Endpoint Tools Enhanced, and programmingcommands. Initial key exchange commands are secured using the utility factory keys. Formore information about programming the OpenWay Gas Remote Disconnect for security,see the FDM Endpoint Tools Mobile Application Guide (TDC-0934).Transmission modeThe OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect operates in OpenWay Riva Network Mode andis designed to transmit 3 times a day with a 20-year battery life.An FCC license is not required to read the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect.Operational statesThe OpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect features three normal operational states.• Closed. The remote disconnect remotely-controlled valve receives a command to closefrom a network reading device. When the valve is closed, the flow of gas stops.About the OpenWay Riva Gas Remote DisconnectOpenWay Riva Gas Remote Disconnect Installation Guide TDC-1759-000 8Proprietary and Confidential
