Installing the Power Supply Cable
The unterminated end of the DC power supply cable connects to the vehicle's electrical system
and remains in the vehicle. This is done so that you can easily connect and disconnect the Mobile
Collector to the other end. The following shows the unterminated end of the power supply cable.

Installing the Power Supply Cable
1. Select a location in the vehicle for the connector end of the cable so that it reaches the cable
that connects to the Mobile Collector. An extension cable is available from Itron, if needed.
2. Route the unterminated end of the cable to the voltage and grounding sites in the vehicle.
Caution:
Do not route the cable where it can become abraded or damaged, such as
under the carpet in high traffic areas, over sharp edges, near hot engine components,
near brake or clutch linkages, or where it can be exposed to oil or other corrosive
liquids.
3. If necessary, trim wires to a suitable length.
4. Connect the white wire (1) to a spare fuse in the vehicle's fuse panel that has a rating of at
least 15 ampere and receives power that is not turned on or off with the vehicle's ignition
(unswitched).
5. Connect the black wire (2) directly to the vehicle's chassis ground.
6. Connect the green wire (3) to a spare fuse in the vehicle's fuse panel that has a rating of at
least one ampere and receives power that is turned on with the vehicle's ignition set to
accessories (switched).
