    Metal lids may require a through-lid remote mount antenna for optimal endpoint radio performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above. The 100W endpoint is temperature rated from -20º C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W endpoint in locations that may exceed the temperature rating.

    3. Pull the cable tie tight to secure it (as shown). 4. Remove the excess cable tie. Rod Mount Installation 100W endpoints can mount below the pit lid on a customer-supplied 1/2-inch OD rod. The example installation described in this section uses a fiberglass rod. For more information, visit www.itron.com reference the Water Meter Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002).

    Rod-driving tool (optional) Rod cutting tool The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following 100W endpoint bottom and side view. To install the 100W endpoint on a rod 1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions.
  • Page 17 If the rod is the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer version. Caution Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-off tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles.

  • Page 18 Caution Verify the pit lid does not touch the endpoint when the lid is replaced. There must be a 1 to 2- inch space between the top of the endpoint and the bottom of the pit lid. If the 100W endpoint is installed too high, too low, or is touching any of the surrounding surfaces, adjust as necessary.

    Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and battery life. Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors. The 100W is suitable for use with up to 300 feet of Itron approved cable. Required Tools and Hardware Itron 100W Shelf Mount Kit To install the 100W endpoint using the wall mount procedure 1.
  • Page 20 Note If mounting requires a screw anchor, mark the location of the bottom anchor and remove the endpoint. Drill the required mounting hole, insert the anchor, and re-attach the endpoint. 7. Holding the 100W endpoint in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole. Use the bottom mounting hole as a template.
