Pit Module Mounting Accessories on page 16.)
Pit module mounting options
Through-lid The pit module mounts in lids with hole sizes from
1-3/4 inches to 2-inches. Installation requires the
Pit mount kit.
Rod mount* The pit module mounts on a 1/2-inch outside
diameter rod. Installation requires the rod mount
adapter.
Wall mount* The pit module mounts to a wall or other vertical
surface. Installation requires the rod mount
adapter.
Important! The Cellular 500W pit module is shipped with a protective cover over the
connectors. The protective cover must be fully engaged over the connectors until the
module is installed to protect the module's connectors from damage.
For Cellular 500W pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on the location of the meter
in the pit box and the lid material. Itron recommends mounting the pit module in pit boxes with in
plastic lids (or other composite materials) for optimum network performance.The pit modules are
temperature rated from -30° C to +60° C. Do not install the pit module in locations that may
exceed the temperature rating.
