Caution: A vertical mounting position is important to maximize RF performance. Mount the
500WERTModule with the module's label arrow pointing up. The module's arrow must never point
to either side or upside down. The module's tilt tamper functionality is designed to operate with the
module installed vertically.
1. Remove the pipe bracket and band clamp from the pipe mount kit (Itron part number CFG-

2. Loosen the band clamp screw until the end of the band releases.
3. Push the end of the clamp's band through the holes in the pipe bracket.

clamp is secure on the pipe.
