Installing the Remote 500W ERT Module
Warning! Internal circuit card components may be sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. Be careful not to touch any part of the meter body, register housing, or
500W module prior to discharging any static buildup on your person. To discharge
electrostatic buildup, touch a grounded metal object such as the metal water pipe or
an earth-grounded metal structure.
Install the remote 500W ERT modules using one of the following mounting options:
Remote 500W ERT module mounting options
Pipe mount The remote 500W ERT module mounts to a pipe near
the meter (see Pipe Mount Installation on page 27). This
option requires the remote mount kit and the appropriate
pipe mount kit.
Remote mount The remote 500W ERT module mounts to a flat surface
and connects to the meter register with a cable up to 300
feet (see Remote Mount Installation on page 31). This
option requires the remote mount kit.
Direct mount to the meter register The 500W ERT module mounts directly to a meter
register designed for remote 500W ERT module direct
mounting. This installation does not require a mounting
kit (see Direct-mounting to the Meter Register on page
33).
Warning! While Itron modules are designed to withstand a drop, dropping the
module can damage sensitive electronic components and void the product
warranty.
