Mounting Hardware
Depending on your installation location and configuration, the installer must supply the
following mounting hardware to properly attach the collector or repeater to the mounting
surface.
Caution Since each installation is unique, you must ensure the mounting hardware
securely supports the collector or repeater. The collector or repeater (minus
attachment hardware) weighs 7 pounds. Itron recommends consulting with a qualified
engineer to verify load requirements and safety issues. Also, be sure to check and
comply with local codes when installing the collector or repeater.
