Replacing the Collector
Required Tools
You need the following tools to replace the CCU4 collector:
• 7/16-inch nut driver, wrench, or ratchet-wrench
• Inch-pound torque wrench with 7/16-inch socket
• Flathead screwdriver
• Itron Bubble-level
Installation Procedure Summary
You must perform the following procedures to replace a CCU4 collector:
1. Remove the current collector.
2. Attach the new collector to the hanging plate.
3. Attach the RF antenna.
4. Reconnect the means of transmitting to the headend.
5. Install the battery pack.
6. Reconnect the power cable.
7. Verify the new collector is operational.
Removing the Current Collector
Because the collector attaches to the hanging plate, rather than directly to the davit, removing a
collector is much simpler than installing one. To physically remove the collector, you need only
remove the four bolts inserted through the L-brackets of the collector.
However, before actually removing the collector from the hanging plate, you must disconnect the
battery and the power cable, remove the RF antenna, and remove the means of communicating
with the headend. This last process involves either disconnecting the POTS cable or removing
the CDPD antenna, depending on the version of the collector you are removing.
To Remove the Current Collector
1. Using a flathead screwdriver, loosen the four captive-screws holding the battery case in
place.
2. Pull out the battery case.
The strap keeps the case connected to the bottom of the
collector .
3. Disconnect the battery pack from the connector inside the battery compartment.
4. Place the battery pack back inside the battery case and insert the case into the battery
compartment.
5. While pressing the battery case into the battery compartment, finger-tighten the four
captive-screws until the battery case is held in place.
