The CCU 100 and the Repeater 100 are configurable for the following installation
locations:
• Water tower or communications tower
• Wood, concrete, or metal utility pole
• Wall (indoor or outdoor)
• Pipe or mast (between 2 and 3.5 inches in diameter)
• Roof
• Other vertical structures
Integrated mounting and coupling brackets secure the device in high winds and under
heavy ice loads. If you have any concerns about your CCU/repeater mounting location,
consult a professional engineer.
The CCU 100 also supports an optional solar power kit. Kits are sized by peak sun hour
calculations which vary regionally across the country. The kit includes solar panels and a
large battery backup unit. Size and weights vary by package type (based on peak sun
hours).
A collector or repeater consists of a number of components in a single weatherproof
device. Electrical components are encased in a plastic enclosure that provides double
insulation and a high level of safety for the installer.
Caution Only authorized Itron personnel may open this device. Unauthorized
access or modifications to this device voids the warranty.
Per FCC rules, unapproved modifications or operation beyond or in conflict with
these instructions for use could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
CCU Configuration
A Fixed Network system administrator must configure each CCU 100 before it can be
installed in the field. Verify with your supervisor or the system administrator that all
CCUs are configured before you attempt to install them.
For more information about CCU configuration, see the ChoiceConnect® Fixed Network
CCU 100 Initial Configuration Guide.
CCU/Repeater Components
The CCU 100 and Repeater 100 come in two basic configurations; they have either an
internal GPS antenna (recommended) or local GPS/WAN antenna. The 900 MHz antenna
may be mounted directly on the CCU/repeater (recommended) or it may be mounted
remotely.
