1. Select a mounting location within 5 feet of the water module. Important: If the OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor mounting location is in a meter box, ensure that there is adequate room for the leak sensor and the pit water module. Mount the leak sensor on the water input side of the meter.
After the pit module is installed in the desired location, connect the pit module to the OLS. Note: These instructions show connection to the OpenWay Riva Water Module. Connection to the 100W+ ERT module is the same. Connect the OLS to the blue 100W+ (2, telemetry) connector.
Twisting the connector body could damage the connector's pins. Attaching a security seal After the OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor is connected to the pit water module, attach the Itron security seal. OpenWay® Riva Leak Sensor Installation Guide TDC-1691-003...
