Chapter 4 Installing the OpenWay Riva Water Pit
Module
Install the pit module using one of the following methods. (For mounting option accessories,
see Pit module mounting accessories on page 15.)
Pit module mounting options
Through-lid The pit module mounts in lids with hole sizes
from 1-3/4 inches to 2-inches. Installation
requires the Pit mount kit.
Rod mount* The pit module mounts on a 1/2-inch outside
diameter rod. Installation requires the rod mount
adapter
.
Wall mount* The pit module mounts to a wall or other vertical
surface. Installation requires the rod mount
adapter.
* Rod and wall mount installations require the Itron through-the-lid remote antenna.
Important: The OpenWay Riva water pit module is shipped with a protective cover over the
connectors. The protective cover must be fully engaged over the connectors until the
module is installed to protect the module's connectors from damage.
For water 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.
