Installation Guide

6.
Install the security seal as shown. Push it until it snaps into place.
For future meter or pit module servicing, break the security seal by pulling the seal apart.
The original protective connector caps can be reused if kept clean and dry. Install a new
security seal after servicing either device. To order replacement security seals, see the
500W Module Ordering Guide. Environmental caps employ multiple seals to protect the
connector from the environment. Environmental cap design allows utilities to install the pit
module and, at a future date, install a Leak Sensor.
7. Shield connectors with protective environmental caps (for more information, see Mounting
Accessories on page 19). Do not leave an exposed connector in the field.
Remote Disconnect Valve Installation
The Smart Earth Technologies (SET)Remote Disconnect Valve is used in conjunction with
both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the house) pit module
installations. Water disconnect devices mount on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter
horn) and connect to the center telemetry connector (blue) on the pit module. For more
information, see Mounting Accessories on page 19.
The pit module automatically detects the presence of connected water disconnect devices
within 22.5 minutes and begins reading disconnect valve data. To immediately detect the
water disconnect valve and begin reading data, perform a Check Endpoint with a handheld
computer running FDM software.
Note: Remote water disconnect operation requires a pit module with enhanced security
enabled.
The Cellular 500W Pit Module supports the following valve states:
■
Connected. The water flow is open and flowing at 100% configured capacity.
■
Disconnected. The water flow is shut off with no water flowing. The remote water
