CHAPTER 4
Installing the 100W and 100WP Endpoint
Install the endpoint using one of the following methods:
100W and 100WP Mounting Options
Rod mount
The endpoint mounts on a 1/2 inch outside diameter rod.
Wall mount
The endpoint mounts to a wall or other vertical surface.
Base mount
The endpoint mounts on a horizontal, flat surface.
Shelf mount
The endpoint mounts in pre-fabricated pockets or shelves within the pit lid using a
shelf mount accessory kit.
Through lid
The endpoint mounts in lids with hole sizes from 1 3/4 inches to 2 inches.
Through lid installation requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit (CFG-1300-004).
For water pit boxes, the type of installation method is based on two factors: the lid material and the current lid
configuration. Metal lids may require a through-lid remote mount antenna for optimal endpoint radio
performance. Plastic lids and other composite materials accept any installation methods described above. The
100W Endpoint is temperature rated from -20º C to +60º C. Do not install the 100W Endpoint in locations that
may exceed the temperature rating.
Caution Observe the following guidelines for mounting the 100W:
Endpoint positioning other than upright could negatively affect radio performance and
battery life.
Use only Itron-approved splice kits or inline connectors.

Installing the 100W and 100WP Endpoint
Required Tools and Hardware
Hammer
1/2-inch outside diameter rod (either a square or round rod may be used)
Tape measure
Rod-driving tool (optional)
Cutting tool to adjust rod length
The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following bottom and side view of the 100W Endpoint.
To install the endpoint on a rod
1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or other obstructions.
2. Measure the depth of the pit box from the top of the lip (where the lid will rest) to the bottom of the pit. Be
sure to measure the depth at the point where you will drive the rod into the ground.
3. Add 12 inches to the pit box depth measurement taken in step 2. The resulting total represents the
minimum length of rod needed. Soil types and moisture conditions may require longer rod lengths to
ensure the endpoint is well supported and remains vertical.

4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of the pit as
possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure the rod remains vertical.
Note Rod shown has a protective end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground.
5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2-inches below the bottom of the
pit lid.
If the rod cannot be driven in enough to equal the necessary spacing, cut the remaining rod length to
the proper height using an abrasive cut off tool.
If the rod is driven to the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer
version.
Caution Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety precautions when using cut-off
tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust particles.

Installing the 100W and 100WP Endpoint
Through Lid Mount
This section provides instructions to mount the 100W Endpoint in a pit lid with a drilled, round 1-3/4-inch, 1
7/8-inch, or 2-inch hole.
Caution Some pit lids have a molded, recessed cavity that allows Itron 40W-1, 50W-1, and 50W-2
ERT modules to sit flush with the top surface of the lid. However, the dome of the endpoint retainer
for the 100W and 100WP endpoints has a smaller diameter and does not fill the pit lid cavity. This
can cause the cavity to become a trip hazard. Itron does not recommend using this type of pit lid
with 100W endpoints.
Required Tools and Hardware
This mounting method requires the Pit Lid Mounting Kit. Refer to the 100W Installation Methods Overview
(PUB-1300-004) for guidance on which kit to install for different pit lid material and traffic conditions.

Installing the 100W and 100WP Endpoint
Optional Leak Sensor Installation
Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and pre-existing leaks. LS
analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline™ Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis accessed through a
secure Internet portal unique to your utility. This section describes installation of the Leak Sensor (LS) in a
100W or 100WP system.
The 100W endpoint stores 20 days of Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the 100W begins to write over stored
data in a first in, first out manner.
The 100W automatically detects the presence of connected Leak Sensors. The 100W will automatically detect
the Leak Sensor within 22.5 minutes and begin reading leak sensor data. To immediately detect the Leak
Sensor and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM software.
The LS is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the
house) endpoint. LS devices mount on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter horn) and connect to the
appropriate endpoint wires as described in Connecting the Leak Sensor to the endpoint. The mounting bracket
shipped with the Leak Sensor accommodates an (up to) 1-1/2-inch OD pipe. An optional mounting bracket is
available for pipe sizes (up to 2 1/2-inch OD).

Installing the 100W Endpoint
Optional Leak Sensor Installation
Leak Sensors (LS) analyze water flow sound patterns to detect new, evolving, and pre-existing leaks. LS
analysis data is uploaded to mlogonline™ Network Leak Monitoring for data analysis and accessed through a
secure Internet portal unique to your utility. This section describes installation of the Leak Sensor (LS) in a
100W system.
The 100W endpoint stores 20 days of Leak Sensor data. On the 21st day, the 100W begins to write over stored
data in a first in, first out manner.
The 100W automatically detects the presence of connected Leak Sensors. The 100W will automatically detect
the Leak Sensor within 22.5 minutes and begin reading Leak Sensor data. To immediately detect the Leak
Sensor and begin reading data, perform a Check ERT with a handheld computer running FDM software.
The LS is used in conjunction with both indoor (basement) and outdoor (mounting on the exterior of the
house) 100W endpoint installations. LS devices are mounted on a water service pipe or meter insetter (meter
horn) and connect to the appropriate endpoint wires as described in To connect the Leak Sensor to the 100W
endpoint on page 25. The mounting bracket shipped with the Leak Sensor accommodates an (up to) 1-1/2inch OD pipe. An optional mounting bracket is available for pipe sizes (up to 2 1/2-inch OD).
