Installation Guide

Caution: Do not program configuration changes to the Cellular 500W module until it
is connected to the water meter register.
The FC300SR or Itron Mobile Radio are the only devices that support programming for the
Cellular 500W module.
Keep a minimum of 12 inches between the OpenWay Riva pit Cellular 500W module and
programming device while programming configuration changes are completed.
Do not place the programming device antenna directly on the pit module.
Extending the Cable
Order the 25-foot inline connector extension cable assembly (CFG-0151-404) to extend the
cable of the pit module.
Encoder-type Meter Register Connections
Pit module connections are made by the meter manufacturer for encoder-type registers. This
information describes those connections.
Caution: Itron recommends OpenWay Riva pit module connections be completed
using the inline connector. In rare instances, if a spliced connection is made, the Itron
splice kit must be used (Itron part number OEM-0034-002). For more information, see
Completing Gel-cap Connections Using the Itron Splice Kit on page 38.
