8 Fit the communication module back onto the meter.
9 The antenna cable passes out from the Terminal Block Cover area.
10 Fit the Terminal Block Cover.
NOTE:
To ensure optimal performance of the radio system with the meter, the radio antenna must be fitted externally if
the meter (or modem) is installed inside a metal enclosure.
Recommendations for external antenna to be used (WAN/HAN):
Manufacturer: Panorama (Part number: LPW-BC3G-26-2SP)
Any alternate antenna selection should be approved by Secure prior to installation to ensure
compatibility and avoid degradation of communication performance.
Antenna Placement Requirements
Antenna placement can critically impact the operation of the meter and the radio system and
consequently the following recommendations and requirements need to be carefully reviewed
and incorporated into the installation.
1. For optimal performance the external antenna should be oriented vertically as per
Figure 13: External antenna.
2. The installation of an external antenna within a meter enclosure can have a
significant detrimental impact on communications performance and further cause interference with the
operation of the meter. To avoid these issues, where the meter (or modem) is installed within a metal
enclosure, the radio antenna must be fitted externally.
3. Irrespective of enclosure an external antenna must not be fitted within 5 cm of the meter.
Where practical, the antenna shall be fitted above the meter.
