Wall Mount Installation
Select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the pit module in an upright position. Locate the
pit module as high as possible in a Cellular 500W pit box. Maintain a distance of one to two
inches from the bottom of the pit box lid.
Caution!Observe the following guidelines for mounting the pit module using the wall mount procedure:
■ Any module positioning other than upright will negatively affect radio performance.
■ Use inline connectors to connect the Cellular 500W Pit Module to the register or meter. If a splice
is required to connect the register or meter, you must use the Itron splice kit (OEM-0034-002).
■ The pit module works accurately with Itron-approved cable type and lengths up to 300 feet.
To mount the module to a pit wall
1. Select a vertical, flat surface in the pit box.
2. Insert the rod/wall mounting bracket tab (1) into the module tab receptacle (2).
3. Position the pit module vertically so the top of the pit module is between one to two inches
below the bottom of the lid.
