Installing the Backplate
After the connections are made to the register and optional telemetry device, attach the
500WERTModule's backplate.
Mount the remote module after the backplate is attached.
1. Route the register cable and telemetry device cable through the dual-port backplate.
Ensure that the cable strain reliefs are inside the module housing and backplate assembly.
2. Route the register cable through the bottom backplate cable cutout and telemetry device
cable through the top backplate cable cutout.
3. Align the remote module backplate with the mounting screw holes. Verify that the Itron
logo is not upside down.
4. Insert a backplate mounting screw in one corner and tighten the screw two or three turns.
Insert the remaining three screws and tighten each a few turns.
