4. Slide the antenna sleeve over the antenna, ensuring the front of the antenna sleeve is
toward the front of the collector or repeater.
5. Using the included screws and washers, screw the antenna sleeve to the top of the
collector or repeater. Tighten the screws to 5 to 6 in/lbs.
Antenna sleeve > flat washer > lock washer > screw
Attaching the Collector or Repeater
You may attach the collector or repeater to a variety of surfaces. See the following
sections for diagrams showing some of the possible configurations.
• Pipe mount on page 23
• Pole mount on page 25
• Wall mount on page 27
• Davit arm mount on page 28
Mounting Hardware
You can adapt the hardware set to mount the collector or repeater in many different
locations.
For pole or pipe mounts, the mounting hardware consists of a mounting plate, two
brackets, four bolts, and a set screw.
For a wall mount, use two metal brackets (not shown below), four mounting bolts, nuts,
and lock washers to prepare the collector for mounting. Itron does not supply the
hardware necessary to mount the wall mounting brackets to the wall.
