7. You may secure the pit module to the rod with a self-drilling screw through the hole in the top of the pit
module's rod mount cavity. The screw mounting hole is shown in the following product image.
8. Installation is complete when the pit module is perpendicular to the underside of the lid. The pit module
must not contact the pit structure or lid.
Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the pit module when the lid is replaced. There must be a 1 to 2-
inch space between the top of the pit module and the bottom of the pit lid. If the pit module is installed too
high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust the installation as necessary.
Wall Mount Installation
Select a flat vertical mounting surface. Install the pit module in an upright position. Locate the pit module as
high as possible in a water pit box. Maintain a distance of one to two inches from the bottom of the pit box lid.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the pit module using the
wall mount procedure:
• ERT module positioning other than upright could negatively affect
radio performance and battery life.
• Do not use gel connectors in pit environments; use only inline
connectors.
The pit module works accurately with Itron-approved cable type and lengths up to 300 feet.
Required Mounting Tools and Hardware
• Drill and drill bits appropriate for mounting location material.
• Common hand tools for the selected fastening method.
• #10 size pan head mounting screws appropriate for the wall or pit box material.
To install the pit module using the wall mount procedure
1. Select a vertical, flat surface in the pit box.
2. Position the pit module vertically so the top of the pit module is between 1 and 2-inches below the bottom
of the lid.
