To install the Leak Sensor on a pipe (up to 2 1/2-inch OD)
1. Select a Leak Sensor mounting location within 5 feet of the ERT module.
Note Leak Sensor mounting orientation is not critical. Orient the sensor to best accommodate your
installation. The most important installation practice is to fasten the sensor securely to the pipe.
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. Secure the mounting plate to the Leak Sensor.
4. Verify the pipe’s mounting surface is free from dirt and debris. Place the curved surface of the LS against
the pipe.
Caution Do not mount the Leak Sensor on a pipe coupler, joint, or nut.

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. 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. Over-tightening could damage the
Leak Sensor housing and/or the pipe.

The optional 900 MHz remote mount antenna provides increased RF range coverage for the listed mobile
applications where the meters are located deep in a pit boxes.
This section provides antenna mounting instructions through a pit lid and the instructions to connect the
optional antenna to the ERT module.
Caution Only remote antenna ERT modules can be used with the remote antenna. See the following
table for 100W and 100WP remote antenna ERT models.

Installing the Remote Antenna
Metal lids on water pit boxes require a through-lid solution for optimal ERT module radio performance. The
remote antenna is designed to fit in a pit lid hole with a diameter of 3/4-inch and lid thicknesses from 1/4-inch
to 1-3/4-inch.
Caution Remove cable or twist ties from the antenna cable to prevent damage to the ERT
module or antenna.

To install the remote antenna through a pit lid
1. Thread the remote antenna connector and cable through the pit lid hole. Verify the antenna's convex
surface is on the top of the pit lid. (These instructions show a simulated pit lid material.)
2. Insert the antenna connector through the rectangular opening in the threaded collar.
3. Turn the threaded collar until it is tight against bottom of the pit lid.
To connect the remote antenna to the ERT module
1. Align the connector pins with the top, red connector on the ERT module. The illustration shows a 3-port
ERT module connection.
