IINNOVATEC C & I METER INSTALLATION
The Innovatec C & I Meter provides the link between Innovatec IMUs and the utility
computer system by transferring messages between the local area network (LAN) and the
wide area network (WAN). A microcontroller controls communication between the LAN
transceiver and the telephone Pager inside the Meter. LAN communications is via the
Innovatec 900 MHz spread spectrum radio transceiver.
Meters are housed in weather resistant enclosure, and are typically mounted on utility
poles or other elevated structures. They are powered using 120 or 240 VAC 60 Hz line
voltage, typically tapped from a streetlight photocell socket.
Installation Instructions
Note: Installation of the Innovatec C & I Meter is to be performed by properly trained
personnel only.
Prior to installation determine how the Meter will be powered. If possible select a utility
pole with a streetlight which uses a photocell for control. Determine the voltage that the
streetlight utilizes. The Innovatec Meter must only be connected to 120 volts or 240 volts
AC. Serious damage can result from connecting to a higher voltage.
The Innovatec Meter can be mounted to wooden poles with a lag screw through the
mounting holes on the top and bottom of the enclosure. It may be necessary to
temporarily remove the LAN antenna to gain access to the mounting hole. Be sure to
replace the antenna prior to connecting power to the Meter to prevent damage to the LAN
radio.
Note: The Innovatec Meter is designed to operate only with the antenna supplied. Do not
substitute any other external antenna without consulting Innovatec. Violation of FCC
regulations may result if the Meter is operated with any other antenna.
To meet the FCC RF Safety Exposure Compliance, verify that both antennas are located
such that a minimum of 25 cm or 10 inch separation is provided between the antennas
and all persons.
To install the photocell power tap, remove the streetlight photocell, by turning
counterclockwise and lifting up. Install the photocell power tap in the photocell socket
and replace the photocell into the socket on top of the photocell power tap. Attach the
power cable securely to the streetlight mounting arm and tot the pole. Coil any excess
cable and secure with cable ties. Connect the power cable to the Meter power connector.
When power in connected to the Meter the power LED will light. The LAN transmit and
receive lights will blink alternately for about 2 minutes as the software initializes. When
the lights stop blinking the Meter is ready for operation. Close the hinged cover and
secure the cover fasteners.
No adjustments to the Meter itself are possible. If the unit to be installed does not
communicate with the LAN or does not configure properly, inspect the photocell and AC
wiring and the telephone wiring. If the problem persists, return the Meter to the Meter
Shop for evaluation. Do not attempt to repair the Meter.
FCC WARNING STATEMENTS
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B
digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
