6. Feed the GPS and WAN (if required) antenna cables through the Roxtec block and connect
them to the TCU.
7. Connect the power cable to the TCU.
8. For instructions on installing the antennas, see Local GPS/WAN Antennas on page 34.
9. Connect power to the cabinet. See the wiring diagram on the inside of the cabinet door.
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.
