Compliance Statement (Part 15.19)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Endpoint Location
To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure, the
antenna(e) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
RF Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful 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 meter off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
•
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio/TC technician for help.
Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
98-9112 Rev AA

Data Sheet
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This radio transmitter (5931A-HUNTSU864) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with
the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance
for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Approved Antenna: Omni-directional antenna, 5.5 dBi gain, 902-928 MHz, antenna impedance is 50
ohms.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit
pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.
Le présent émetteur radio (5931A-HUNTSU864) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et
l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou
dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur.
Required Software
To work with the endpoint, you need one of the following software tools:
•
Command Center version 5.0 or later
•
RadioShop version 5.0 or later
•
Endpoint Testing Manager version 4.0 or later
Endpoint Usage
The Gridstream RF High Speed Modular FOCUS AX communication module will be used:
•
for residential and commercial metering applications.
•
at homes and businesses.
The FOCUS AX Modular Gridstream RF endpoint requires professional installation by qualified
personnel.

Endpoint Fix-up Antenna
Installation Guide
Overview
This publication outlines the procedure for remote passive antenna installation on Gridstream RF
Electric Endpoints.
Figure 1. Remote Passive Antenna
This 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 Numbers
The 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, adhesive
In 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.

General Installation Guidelines
Determine the optimum location for remote antenna installation. 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.

Gridstream RF Enhanced FOCUS AX/AX-SD Mounting Procedure

NOTE: The passive antenna should be mounted within 5 mm (0.25") of the indicated location to
achieve specified performance.
1. Clean the meter cover where the flex antenna will be installed. Wipe the cover mounting area
with an alcohol wipe and let the area dry for one minute before proceeding with the installation.
2. Peel the paper backing off of the adhesive tape (bottom of coupling antenna).
3. Firmly press the center of the antenna to the bottom (6 o’clock position) of the meter while
aligning the lower/left of center edge of the antenna with the lower edge of the window on the
inner meter housing.
4. Wrap the cable tie through and over antenna guides, and around the meter. Thread the cable tie
into the mating end of itself.
Figure 2. Antenna Guides
5. Ensure that the cable tie is evenly placed over the antenna and cinch tight.
6. Install the remote antenna at the location indicated by the link assessment performed. If a link
assessment tool is not available, select a location that provides the best line of sight to the nearest
collector.
7. Once installed to the antenna, wrap the connector using cold flow tape. Tape should be wrapped
tightly and in a continuous manner. The tape should cover the cable one inch past the end of the
connector.
8. Secure the cable to the side of the structure using appropriate hardware for the building
construction.
Cable Tie
Align the lower edge of the antenna with the lower edge of the bottom window on the inner meter housing, with the antenna center point as shown.
