Optional Riva Leak Sensor Installation
This section describes installation of the OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor in a OpenWay Riva Water Pit Module
system.
The pit module stores 20 days of Riva Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the pit module begins to write over
stored data in a first in, first out manner.
The pit module automatically detects the presence of connected Riva Leak Sensor. The pit module
automatically detects the sensor within 22.5 minutes and begins reading the sensor data. To immediately
detect the Riva Leak Sensor and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer running
FDM software.
The Riva Leak Sensor is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the
exterior of the house) pit module installations. Riva Leak Sensors are mounted on a water service pipe or
meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the telemetry connector on the pit module. For more information,
see To connect the Riva Leak Sensor to the pit module on page 17. The mounting bracket shipped with the
Riva Leak Sensor accommodates an (up to) 1-1/2-inch OD pipe. An optional mounting bracket is available for
pipe sizes (up to 2 1/2-inch OD).
Riva Leak Sensor Installation Equipment
For a list of Riva Leak Sensor installation equipment, refer to the Water ERT Products Ordering Guide PUB-
0063-001.
Warning When the pit module is installed but the telemetry device is not
attached, you must protect the blue port with the universal environmental cap
(MSC-0019-008). If you disconnect the telemetry device from the pit module, the
environmental cap must be replaced to protect the connector.
Pipe Preparation
Clean any dust or dirt from the pipe to facilitate direct contact with the Riva Leak Sensor surface.
To install the Riva Leak Sensor on a pipe or meter insetter
1. Select a mounting location within 5-feet of the pit module.
2. Verify the pipe’s mounting surface is free from dirt and debris.
