Chapter 5 Using the Itron Cable Armor
This section describes the procedure for installing Itron cable armor in a field installation.
The Itron cable armor provides a layer or protection for the module's cable jacket. Itron
cable armor is available in five-foot sections.
Warning
: Itron cable armor is stainless steel and may have sharp edges. Use
caution when you are installing the cable armor.
Important
: If you remove the inline connector from the pit module to install the cable armor,
you must use an Itron handheld to reprogram the pit module using FDM Endpoint Tools.
Perform a
Check Endpoint
function (with FDM Endpoint Tools) after you reprogram the pit
module to verify communication with the meter register.
Installing the Itron cable armor
1. Remove the pit module from the pit.

: If it is possible in your field installation, keep the pit module connected to the
register.
2. Cut a two to three inch strip of electrical tape.
3. Wrap the entire piece of electrical tape around the pit module cable near the inline
connector.
4. Beginning over the installed electrical tape, twist the Itron cable armor onto the pit module
