Pit lid mounting installation is complete.
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:
■
ERT module positioning other than upright will negatively affect radio performance.
■
Use inline connectors to connect the Cellular 500W 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.
Installing the Module to the 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 1 and 2 inches below
the bottom of the lid.
