1. Remove the installed 500WERTModule.
Note: Itron strongly recommends that you keep the 500WERTModule connected to the register during
cable armor installation.
2. Cut a two- to three-inch strip of electrical tape.
3. Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the 500WERTModule cable near the
500WERTModule .
4. Beginning over the installed electrical tape, twist the Itron cable armor onto the
500WERTModule cable using a right-handed twist.
Warning!You must twist—not wrap—the cable armor onto the 500WERTModule cable.
Wrapping the cable armor can cause the stainless steel jacket to warp.
You must begin twisting the cable armor over portion of the cable protected by the electrical tape. If
you do twist the cable armor onto the 500WERTModule cable on the unprotected portion of the
500WERTModule cable, you could damage the module's cable. A cut cable could cause an
500WERTModule or register communication failure.
5. Continue to twist the cable armor onto the 500WERTModule cable until the cable armor
covers the entire cable.
