Installation Procedure

Recommended Installation Procedure:(for pit lid installation)1. Using the four machine screws and lock-nuts with the nylon inserts provided, attachCellinK™ to CellinK side of Mounting Bracket. Ensure to mount CellinK as spaceallows, either normal position or 90º offset. (See Fig 1 for normal mounting or Fig 2 for 90° offset mounting)2. Insert Antenna Coax Cable and Antenna Base through pre-drilled hole in Pit Lid. (See Fig 3)3. Slide Spacer over Antenna Coax Cable and Antenna Base. (See Fig 3)4. Feed Antenna Coax Cable through center hole on Antenna side of Mounting Bracketand, using the two Antenna Mounting screws provided, attach Mounting Bracket toAntenna Base. Ensure that Antenna Mounting Screws are fed into the CENTERholes on Antenna Base. Also, ensure that Mounting Bracket is positioned as to allowfor proper clearance between the CellinK and the Pit wall, Meter/RTR, and other pitcontents. (See Fig 3)5. Connect Antenna Coax Cable to CellinK Coax connector and wrap with Coax CableSealing Tape. Ensure to cover all exposed metal of Coax connector and compresstape tightly to provide proper water-proofing. (See Fig 3)6. Connect RTR cable to CellinK RTR Cable (Black Connector). (See Cable Connecting Procedure)7. Connect Battery cable to CellinK Battery Cable (White Connector). (See Cable Connecting Procedure)8. Mount RTR to Meter Body and secure in place with seal screw.9. Return pit lid to pit. Ensure all pit contents have proper clearance - no equipmentshould be “forced” into position. Also, ensure no cables are pinched between lid andpit.FCC ID: GIF4545This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

7Cable Connector ProcedureInstallation Instructions:The following instructions are to assist you in the connection process if necessary. Keep all parts cleanprior to assembly. Any dirt or water within the connector enclosure can cause corrosion of the contactswhich will reduce connector life.When connecting the components, ensure the terminalcavity of the Male Connector contains an ample amount ofgrease. The connectors should be shipped from thefactory with the appropriate quantity, but if theconnectors are being replaced or repaired, some volume ofgrease may have been displaced. In that case, or if theconnector was inadvertently shipped without grease, thenbefore connecting first apply grease from the small tubein the kit into the terminal cavity for the maleconnector. The tube contains the correct quantity ofgrease to use, so be sure to dispense all of it into theconnector. A pliers may be helpful to assist insqueezing out the last quantity of grease.1. Drop the Lock Band onto the Female Connector with the Short Alignment Mark up and position theband so that the Long Alignment Mark is lined up with the Alignment Mark at the base of the FemaleConnector.2. Insert the Male Connector into the female connector, again lining up the Long Alignment Marks oneach component. The insertion operation may require significant force to displace the excess greasefrom the connector cavity.3. With the connector halves forced together, turn the locking band to align its Short Alignment Markwith the Long Alignment Marks on the connector halves. It may require a pliers to rotate the band toits final position. A clicking sound should be heard when the band achieves its final and correctposition.FCC ID: GIF4545This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
