Remove the pipe bracket and band clamp from the Remote Mount Installation Kit (Itron part number CFG-0005-003). 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. The pipe bracket must be oriented as shown below. 4. Place the band clamp around the pipe. The band will loosely wrap around the pipe.
Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module 1. Place the adapter plate on the pipe bracket with the mounting lug at the top or bottom. The adapter plate screw bosses fit into the pipe bracket recess. 2. Ensure the adapter plate is positioned as shown below with the mounting lug (1) at the top or bottom. To install the adapter plate on a vertical pipe, use the two shortest (1/2-inch) adapter plate mounting screws from the installation kit. Place the mounting screws (2) in the holes shown below. 3.
Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module 2. Slide the module up onto the adapter plate mounting lug until the mounting lug (1) is as far as possible inside the module mounting lug recess (2). 3. Align the module back plate mounting holes with the pipe mount adapter plate holes. Install the two oneinch mounting screws from the installation kit. 4. Tighten the module mounting screws evenly in an alternating fashion. Torque the screws to 9 - 12 inchpounds of pressure.
Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module To mount the 100T-HON telemetry module on a wall or other flat vertical surface 1. Using one of the three 1-1/2-inch mounting screws from the module installation kit, turn the mounting screw for the mounting lug (top of the module) part way into the mounting surface. 2. Place the 100T-HON telemetry module mounting lug recess (on the top of the module's backplate) just under the screw head. 3.
Mounting the 100T-HON Telemetry Module 2. Firmly push both tamper seals all the way into place with a 1/4-inch nut driver or similar blunt tool. Note A tamper seal is fully seated when the top of the tamper seal is approximately 1/16-inch below the top of the screw recess. 3. To reduce the risk of cable damage, secure the excess module cable with the cable ties from the module installation kit. Pull the cable tight. Remove and properly dispose the excess cable tie. 4.
