CCU Installation Wiring Diagram
Tower Installation
Warning! Before installing a Tower CCU, ensure that the selected location can
support the weight of the Tower CCU and mounting hardware. A thorough structural
analysis should be performed by a registered professional engineer at location prior to
installation. Itron is not responsible for improper installations or for installations at a site
that cannot adequately support the Tower CCU.
You must use 3/8–16 bolts to secure the enclosure to the pierced and slotted metal brackets.
All coaxial cable connections must be properly weather-proofed per industry standards unless
otherwise specified. This includes any connections for the antennas and the Tower CCU. If the
Tower CCU is installed indoors, only the connections located outside must be weather-proofed.
