Setup and Installation
This section describes the installation process for the Cellular 500W Pit Module and its
necessary and optional accessories. Read this chapter in the order it is provided, as certain
procedures must be completed ahead of the Cellular 500W Pit Module installation.
Module Cable Strain Relief Installation
After you complete the Cellular 500W to register connections, install a cable tie to the meter
cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the cable insulation. The cable tie provides
a cable strain relief to reduce the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires.
The following materials are required to install the cable strain relief:
■
Remote mount kit
■
CFG-1300-003, dual cable ports for register connection and telemetry device connection
■
Side cutter pliers
■
Gel connector crimping tool
■
Cable tie gun
■
Torx T-15 screwdriver
To Install the Cable Strain Relief
1. Wrap the cable tie around the meter register or secondary connection cable.
2. Insert the pointed end of the cable tie into the receptacle end of the cable tie with the
ribbed edge facing in.
3. Pull the pointed end of the cable tie until the cable tie is hand-tightened.
4. Insert the excess cable tie into the cable tie gun. Pull the cable gun trigger to tighten and
clip the excess cable tie. The cable tie gun shown in the illustration is equipped with a red
dial that allows the user to set the cable tightening pressure of the cable gun.
