Using the Itron Cable Armor
This section describes the procedure for installing Itron cable armor in a field installation. The
Itron cable armor provides a layer or protection for the module's cable jacket. Itron cable armor
is available in five-foot sections.
Warning! Itron cable armor is stainless steel and may have sharp edges. Use
caution when you are installing the cable armor.
If you remove the connection from the remote 500W ERT module to install the cable armor,
you must use an Itron handheld to reprogram the 500W ERT module using FDM Endpoint
Tools. Perform a Check Endpoint function (with FDM Endpoint Tools) after you reprogram
the module to verify communication with the meter register.
Installing the Itron Cable Armor
1. Remove the installed remote 500W ERT module.
Note: Itron strongly recommends that you keep the remote 500W ERT module
connected to the register during cable armor installation.
2. Cut a two to three inch strip of electrical tape.
3. Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the remote 500W ERT module cable near
the remote 500W ERT module .
