Mounting Installation Considerations
Select a proper mounting location. Itron recommends mounting the module in close proximity to the meter or
instrument. Some applications may require an extended cable-length.
Mount the module in a vertical position with the label directional arrow pointed upward.
Caution Upright vertical positioning is very important because:
• 100T-HON modules are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so
the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna).
Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy
module reading.
• 100T-HON modules are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to
maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability.
Warning Do not mount the module in an orientation other than vertical (module label arrow
pointed upward). Violating the mounting orientation requirements will void the product
warranty.
