Using the Itron Cable Armor
This section describes the procedure for installing Itron cable armor in a field installation. The
Itron cable armor provides a layer or protection for the module's cable jacket. Itron cable armor is
available in five-foot sections.
Warning
Use caution when you are installing the cable armor.
■
Itron cable armor is stainless steel and may have sharp edges.
■
If you remove the inline connector from the pit module to install the cable armor, you must
use an Itron handheld to reprogram the pit module using FDM Endpoint Tools.
■
Perform a Check Endpoint function (with FDM Endpoint Tools) after you reprogram the pit
module to verify communication with the meter register.
Installing
1. Remove the pit module from the pit.
Note: If it is possible in your field installation, keep the pit module connected to the
register.
2. Cut a two to three inch strip of electrical tape.
3.
Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the pit module cable near the inline
connector.
