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.

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.
An integrated mounting support on the back of the collector or repeater enclosure slides into the
slot in the center of the mounting bracket. A set screw locks the collector or repeater to the
mounting bracket. Orientation of the enclosure may be adjusted +/- 16 degrees horizontal to
compensate for different angles.
