Installation Guide

Warning
While Itron modules are designed to withstand a drop, dropping the module may damage the
device and void the warranty.
Pit module positioning other than upright will negatively affect radio performance.
Internal circuit card components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Be careful not to touch
any part of the meter body, register housing, or module prior to discharging any static buildup on
your person. To discharge yourself, touch a grounded metal object such as the metal water pipe
or an earth-grounded metal structure.
