While holding the LS connector, engage the 100W connector by rotating the locking ring until both connectors securely connect. Twist only the connector locking ring, not the body of the connector. Twisting the connector body could damage the connector's pins.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 1. Insert the pointed end of the security seal through the inline connector and the 100W connector security holes. 2. Insert the pointed end of the security seal into the capped end and push until the seal locks. This completes 100W endpoint and Leak Sensor connections. Pipe Preparation Clean any dust or dirt from the pipe to facilitate direct contact with the LS surface. To install the Leak Sensor on a pipe or meter insetter 1.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 2. Verify the pipe’s mounting surface is free from dirt and debris. Place the curved surface of the LS against the pipe. 3. Insert the mounting U-bolt over the pipe and into the LS mounting holes. Caution Do not mount the Leak Sensor on a pipe coupler, joint, or nut.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 4. Insert the mounting plate over the U-bolt's threaded screw ends. Attach the two wing nuts over the clamp screw ends and tighten the wing nuts until snug (to a minimum of 5-inch pounds) to prevent device rotation on the pipe. After you tighten the second wing nut, check the Leak Sensor to verify the device is snug. If the sensor moves, tighten the wing nuts until there is no movement. Caution Do not tighten the Leak Sensor to more than 20 inch-pounds.
Installing the 100W Endpoint Caution Mount the Leak Sensor on the water input side of the meter. Failure to follow this mounting requirement could result in errors in the leak detection data. Installation requires Itron mounting hardware. Repair costs and service charges relating to the use on non-compliant mounting hardware will be charged to the customer. Contract Itron Support for more information. 2. Insert the mounting plate screws into the holes on the Leak Sensor's curved surface. 3.
Installing the 100W Endpoint 5. Insert the U-bolt around the pipe and into the holes in the plate/Leak Sensor assembly. Secure the U-bolt with the wing nuts. Tighten the wing nuts until snug (to a minimum of 5-inch pounds) to prevent device rotation on the pipe. After the second wing nut is tightened, check the Leak Sensor to verify the device is snug.
