Proprietary and Confidential

To mount the 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints on the adapter plate

1. Locate the two 1-inch endpoint mounting screws in the Pipe Mount Kit.

2. Slide the endpoint back cover onto the adapter, pushing up to secure the lug adapter in the lug slot.

3. Install the two 1-inch endpoint mounting screws.

4. Tighten the screws to 9 to 12 inch-pounds of torque.

To install tamper seals and cable ties

1. Using the two new tamper seals from the mounting kit, place a new tamper seal over each endpoint

mounting screw.

2. Push both tamper seals all the way into place with a 1/4-inch nut driver or similar tool.

The final installation will resemble the image below after the tamper seals are installed.

Note A tamper seal is fully seated when the top of the tamper seal is approximately 1/16-inch below the
top of the screw recess.

3. Secure the cable to the meter pipe with a cable tie.

4. Push excess wire up between the back of the endpoint and the face of the adapter plate.

Optional Leak Sensor Installation

Note If the endpoint will mount on the exterior of the house but the Leak Sensor is on a pipe on
the interior, the Leak Sensor cable must run through a hole in the wall before connecting it to
the endpoint.

Caution Extension cable lengths must not exceed 300 ft. Extension cabling from Itron is stranded,
tinned, and pre-bonded for reliability and proper connection to gel cap connectors. Extension cabling
manufactured by non-approved Itron manufacturers may result in unreliable and problematic
connections. Contact Itron Support for more information.

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-R 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 automatically detects the
Leak Sensor within 22.5 minutes and begins 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-R and 100WP-R endpoints 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 Connecting the Leak

Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints. 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).

Connecting the Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R Endpoints

Connecting a Leak Sensor to the 100W-R and 100WP-R endpoints requires a Leak Sensor enabled endpoint.
See 100W-R and 100WP-R Models on page 3. Connect the endpoint flying lead wires to the Leak Sensor
(using gel cap connectors, see Using Gel Cap Connectors on page 33) matching wire colors to complete the
three connections.

See Optional Leak Sensor Installation on page 19 for Leak Sensor mounting information.

To install the Leak Sensor on a pipe or meter insetter

1. Select a Leak Sensor mounting location. Mount the sensor on the water input side of the meter.

Caution The Leak Sensor must be mounted 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. Verify the pipe’s mounting surface is free from dirt and debris. Place the curved surface of the LS against

the pipe.

3. Insert the mounting U-bolt over the pipe and into the LS mounting holes.

Caution Do not mount the Leak Sensor on a pipe coupler, joint, or nut.

4. Insert the mounting plate over the U-bolt's threaded screw ends. Attach the two wing nuts over the clamp

screw ends and 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.

Note Leak Sensor mounting orientation is not critical. Orient the Sensor to best accommodate your
installation. The most important installation practice is to mount the Sensor securely to the pipe.

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 100W endpoint.

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.
