CCU 100 and Repeater 100 Installation Guide 1
Proprietary and Confidential
The CCU 100 (also known as a cell control unit or collector) and the Repeater 100 are
configurable for different installation locations, including:
• On a water or communications tower.
• On a pole (such as an electricity or light pole).
• On a wall (indoor or outdoor).
• On a pipe (between 2 and 3.5 inches in diameter).
• On a roof.
Integrated mounting and coupling brackets secure the device in high winds and under
heavy ice loads.
The CCU 100 also supports an optional solar power kit. Kits are sized by peak sun hour
calculations which vary regionally across the country. The kit includes solar panels and a
large battery backup unit. Size and weights vary by package type (based on peak sun
hours).
A CCU/Repeater consists of a number of components in a single weatherproof device.
Electrical components are encased in a plastic enclosure that provides double insulation
and a high level of safety for the installer.
Caution Only authorized Itron personnel may open this device. Unauthorized
access or modifications to this device voids the warranty.
Per FCC rules, unapproved modifications or operation beyond or in conflict with
these instructions for use could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
CCU Configuration
A Fixed Network system administrator must configure each CCU 100 before it can be
installed in the field. Verify with your supervisor or the system administrator that all
CCUs are configured before you attempt to install them.
Please see the Collector Configuration Application v4.x User Guide for more information.
