Wall Mount Installation
Select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the ERT module in an upright position. Locate the ERT module
as high as possible. To mount the ERT module to the wall in a water pit box, select a mounting location on the
inside of the pit box and try to maintain a distance of one to two inches from the bottom of the pit box lid.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the ERT module using the wall mount
procedure:
• ERT module 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.
The ERT module works accurately with Itron-approved cable type and lengths up to 300 feet.
