TDC-0909-002 100W and 100WP Pit Datalogging Water Endpoint Installation Guide 10
Proprietary and Confidential
Install the 100W endpoint using one of the following methods:
100W and 100WP Mounting Options
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.
Through-Lid
The endpoint mounts in lids with hole sizes from 1-3/4 inches to 2-inches. Through-lid installation
requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-1300-004).
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 endpoint is temperature rated from -20º C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W endpoint 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.
Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors.

100W Endpoints with Integral Connectors
If 100W endpoints 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 endpoint, 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 endpoint 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.
