Using the Itron Cable Armor
This section describes the procedure for installing Itron cable armor in a field installation. The
Itron cable armor provides a layer or protection for the module's cable jacket. Itron cable armor is
available in five-foot sections.
Warning! Itron cable armor is stainless steel and may have sharp edges. Use caution
when you are installing the cable armor.
If you remove the connection from the Cellular 500W remote module to install the cable armor,
you must use an Itron handheld to reprogram the Cellular 500W remote module using FDM
Endpoint Tools. Perform a Check Endpoint function (with FDM Endpoint Tools) after you
reprogram the module to verify communication with the meter register.
Installing the Itron Cable Armor
1. Remove the installed Cellular 500W remote module.
Note: Itron strongly recommends that you keep the Cellular 500W remote module
connected to the register during cable armor installation.
2. Cut a two to three inch strip of electrical tape.
3. Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the Cellular 500W remote module cable near
the Cellular 500W remote module .
