Rod Mount Installation CAUTION! If the endpoint module installation is too high, too low, or touching any of the surrounding surfaces, then adjust as necessary. Water Solutions 60WP Endpoint Installation Guide...
Installing Using a Wall Mount To install the 60WP Endpoint using the wall mount method, mount the endpoint on the pit box wall so that the top of the endpoint is between one and three inches below the bottom of the lid.
Page 17
Tighten the screw until snug. Do not over tighten as this could potentially crack the endpoint housing. 6. Keeping the 60WP endpoint in the upright position, drill the second pilot hole using the bottom mounting hole as a template.
Pit Lids with Holes This section describes how to install the 60WP Endpoint in a pit lid that already has a 1 3/4- inch, 1 7/8-inch or 2-inch hole in the lid. The Pit Lid Mounting Kit or the Passive Radiator Antenna Kit can be used for this application.

5. From the underneath side of the lid, place the retainer clip collar around the retainer clip and snug the collar to the bottom side of the pit lid. Ensure that the top of the retainer clip is seated against the lid surface as shown below. Water Solutions 60WP Endpoint Installation Guide...
Chapter 2 Installing the 60WP Endpoint 6. Secure the assembly with 2 cable ties (A). 7. Align and insert the top of the 60WP Endpoint into the offset cavity (A) of the retainer clip, or passive radiator antenna, and push until it snaps into place.
Drill • 1 3/4-inch drill bit appropriate for the lid material • Pit lid mounting kit (Itron part number CFG-0771-010) or passive radiator antenna kit (Itron part number CFG-0771-006) • Cable tie gun NOTE The pit lid mounting kit is not intended for applications involving vehicular traffic.

6. Secure the assembly with 2 cable ties (A). 7. Align and insert the top of the 60WP Endpoint into the offset cavity (A) of the retainer clip, or passive radiator antenna, and push until it snaps into place.
The finished assembly is shown below. Shelf Mount Installation This section describes 60WP Endpoint installation when using a shelf mount adaptor to mount the endpoint in a pit lid slot. IMPORTANT! The pit lid and slot must have the correct dimensions for the 60WP assembly to fit properly.
Chapter 2 Installing the 60WP Endpoint Required Tools and Hardware The following tools and hardware are required when installing the 60WP Endpoint using a shelf mount adaptor for a pit lid slot: • Shelf Mount Adapter (Itron part number CFG-0771-007)

Push until snug. O-Ring 3. Slide the black coupling over the O-ring. Make sure the O-ring stays seated. If the O- ring does not stay seated, disconnect and try again. Water Solutions 60WP Endpoint Installation Guide...
IMPORTANT! Be sure to protect connectors with protective covers. Do not leave an exposed connector in the field. Using a 5-Foot Cable This section describes how to connect the 60WP endpoint to the water meter register using the 5-foot cable. To connect the cable to the register...
Chapter 3 Connecting the 60WP 1. Remove the protective cover from the end of the cable. Figure 10: 60WP Endpoint With 5-Foot Cable 2. Connect each cable wire to the appropriate meter register screw terminal as indicated in the table below.
FC200SR Handlheld device. Activating Programming Mode Use the programming magnet (Itron part number MLD-0175-001) to place the endpoint into Programming Mode. Place the magnet on top of the Rod Mount Hole (A) as shown below and hold it there for three seconds to activate Programming Mode.
Chapter 4 Programming and Verifying 60WP Endpoint Operation NOTES! • The 60WP Endpoint will remain in Programming Mode for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes you can reactivate Programming Mode using the magnet. • If the magnet is held in place longer than 15 minutes, remove the magnet for three seconds and then put it back into position to reactivate Programming Mode.
