Pipe mount

The EA_Water 2.0 module can be mounted on a pipe close to the water meter. The pipe mounting option uses a hose

clamp and mounting bracket to attach the EA_Water 2.0 module to a pipe.

The cable from the EA_Water 2.0 module to the water meter register should not exceed 100 feet (30 meters).

1. Remove the remote mount cover from the EA_Water 2.0 module.

2. Align the mounting bracket to the remote mount cover and secure the mounting bracket with screws.

3. Splice the cables from the EA_Water 2.0 module to the water meter register cable using weatherproof gel caps (for

example, 3M style 314 IDC).

4. Insert the cable back into the EA_Water 2.0 module, making sure to provide strain relief for the cable.

5. Reattach the remote mount cover to the EA_Water 2.0 module.

6. Thread the pipe hose clamp through the slot of the mounting bracket

7. Mount and secure the EA_Water 2.0 module to the pipe.

8. Using the table in “Connection instructions” on page 1, connect the appropriate wires to the correct terminals on

the water meter register. Typically, the connection is made by placing the wire under the screw terminal and

tightening down securely. See the product documentation for your water meter register for more information.

9. When you have completed the installation, secure the EA_Water 2.0 enclosure by inserting the tamper plugs into

tamper plug mounts..
