TDC-0909-000 100W Datalogging Endpoint Installation Guide 9
Proprietary and Confidential
This chapter provides the instructions to install the 100W. Install the 100W using one of the
following methods:
Rod mount. The endpoint mounts on a 1/2 inch outside diameter rod.
Wall mount. The endpoint mounts to a wall or other vertical surface.
Base mount. The endpoint mounts on a horizontal, flat surface.
Shelf Mount. The endpoint mounts in pre-fabricated pockets or shelves within the pit
lid using a shelf mount accessory kit.
For water pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on two factors: the lid material
and the current lid configuration. Metal lids may require a through-lid remote mount
antenna for optimal endpoint radio performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials
accept any installation methods described above. The 100W is temperature rated from -20º
C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W in locations that may exceed the temperature rating.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect
radio performance and battery life.
Do not use gel connectors in pit environments.
Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors.
100W Datalogging Endpoints with Integral Connectors
If 100W s with integral connectors (ERW-1300-X0X) and the registers are not installed at
the same time, secure the protective connector cover on the endpoint using a cable tie (Itron
part number MSE-0005-002). Cable ties are not shipped with the 100W , but can be ordered
from Itron. Use the protective cover (on the endpoint side) in the field for up to one year.
Warning If a dual-port 100W is installed but the Leak Sensor is not
attached, the environmental cap (MSC-0019-005) must remain in place on
the blue connector (Leak Sensor connector) to protect the connector from
damage.
