Landis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1245 Rev AA 3Gridstream RF ElectricEndpoint Fix-up AntennaInstallation GuideOverviewThis publication outlines the procedure for remote passive antenna installation on Gridstream RF Electric Endpoints. Figure 1. Remote Passive AntennaThis antenna couples radio frequency energy from a Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF Electric Endpoint's 902-928 MHz antenna into a coax cable connected to a remote antenna located at an optimal location for better connection to the Gridstream RF network. Coupling loss (including the 2.5 ft. cable) ranges from 5 to 9 dB, with 5 being a typical value. Environmental performance is rated for: 0 to 95% relative humidity, -40 to +85° C.Coupler Part NumbersThe same coupler is used for all remote antenna installations. The part number and description is as follows:•40-1705 flex loop, 2.5 ft. antenna cable, cable tie, adhesiveIn the case where the length above is insufficient, Landis+Gyr recommends the extension cable listed below, terminated with a female “N” connector on one end and a male “N” connector on the other:•19-1742, extension cable, 20 ft.

This will vary depending on the location of the meter. In general, the antenna should be:•Installed as close to line of sight with a Gridstream RF network equipment as is possible.•Mounted so that it is at least four inches from the nearest structure.•Mounted so that a meter box cover, if the endpoint is enclosed in one, can be removed without interference from the remoted antenna.•For inside-premise installations, remoted antennas may be mounted in the proximity of an available window, or may need to be routed to the outside if the signal strength is insufficient.•Mounted so that the antenna connector is OUTSIDE the meter box. A 1-inch hole should be drilled in the meter box so that the connector can be fed through the box. Use the appropriate mounting bracket to mount the antenna external to the meter box.•Mounted so that any length of additional cable is minimized. The best practice for maximum cable length is to not exceed line loss (refer to cable manufactures line loss chart) vs. gain of antenna, the RF link loss by use of passive antenna can be excluded from the line loss calculation.It is the responsibility of local installation organizations to ensure that local wiring codes and requirements are met, including the application of a safety ground, when required.NOTE: This device and the supplied installation components are UV-resistant.
