Installation Guide

Caution: Do not program configuration changes to the Cellular 500W Pit Module
until it is connected to the water meter register.
The FC300SR or Itron Mobile Radio are the only devices that support programming for the
Cellular 500W Pit Module.
Keep a minimum of 12 inches between the Cellular 500W Pit Module and programming
device while programming configuration changes are completed.
Do not place the programming device antenna directly on the pit module.
Encoder-type Meter Register Connections
Pit module connections are made by the meter manufacturer for encoder-type registers. This
information describes those connections.
Caution: Itron recommends pit module connections be completed using the inline
connector. In rare instances, if a spliced connection is made, the Itron splice kit must
be used (Itron part number OEM-0034-002). For more information, see Completing
Gel-cap Connections Using the Itron Splice Kit on page 34.
