For 500W ERT pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on the location of the meter in
the pit box and the lid material. Itron recommends mounting the pit module in pit boxes with in
plastic lids (or other composite materials) for optimum network performance. Metal lids require a
through-lid remote antenna and rod or wall mount accessory for optimal pit module radio
performance. The pit modules are temperature rated from -20° C to +60° C. Do not install the pit
module in locations that may exceed the temperature rating.
Warning
While Itron modules are designed to withstand a drop, dropping the module may damage the
device and void the warranty.
Pit module positioning other than upright will negatively affect radio performance.
Internal circuit card components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Be careful not to touch
any part of the meter body, register housing, or Riva module prior to discharging any static
buildup on your person. To discharge yourself, touch a grounded metal object such as the metal
water pipe or an earth-grounded metal structure.
