Assembling the Tower CCU 100
Important! This unit must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and with all local codes. Provide power to the cabinet using electrical conduit.
Itron recommends using a knockout punch and die (such as a Greenlee® Slug-
Buster®) to punch the appropriate sized hole in the bottom of the cabinet.
1. Attach the TCU to the TCU mounting plate.
a. Insert the TCU mounting disc into the mounting plate keyhole.
b. Slide the TCU down until you feel it click into place.
2. Connect the cable from the TCU to the RF filter.
3. Connect the ground wire to the TCU.
4. (Optional) Connect the Ethernet cable to the TCU and the top of the 10/100 BT SPD.
