Cellnet Network The CellNet Automated Meter Reading network is used to transfer information from a number of endpoints usually distributed over a large geographical area. The most common endpoints are from electrical, gas and water meters. Additional potential endpoints include parking meters, vending machines and copiers. The network includes a Radio Frequency (RF) Wide Area Network (WAN) and an RF Local Area Network (LAN). The WAN consists of either CellMasters (CM), or Take Out Points (TOP) communicating with MicroCell Controllers (MCC) Or Infinet Concentrators (IC). The LAN is the RF link between the MCC or IC and meters or other end points with CellNet meter modules installed. The endpoint data is transmitted via a radio frequency (RF) link to the MCC/TOP where it is stored and processed. The MCC or IC then transmits this information to the Network Operations Center via a RF link to the CellMaster or TOP base station. This SOP deals with the installation of TOP’s. 2. TOP enclosure/mounting The TOP is a NEMA-4 enclosure with a power supply, lead-acid battery, system CPU board and four radios. It weighs approximately 42 pounds and typically mounts on wooden utility poles using two 5/8" diameter through bolts or on street lights with two stainless steel bands. It can also be mounted on a unistrut member sunk into the ground next to a transformer. 3. TOP programming Programming of the TOP is required prior to installation. The TOP programming process consists of entering GPS and other data such as color into the radio. This task is best done in batch mode where the TOP’s are stored prior to field deployment for installation. For the purposes of this SOP, it is assumed that the programming has already been completed and the information provided with work order/installation sheet. The TOP will typically be labeled with the IPC address visible from the outside. 4. Required Tools & Materials The following is a list of tools and materials for installing the TOP,s for utility pole and streetlight mounting. For building and pad-mount installations, the same tools will apply with some additional materials required. Check under the type of installation for materials and tools needed to perform the installation. In the pad-mount and building installation sections there will be a tool or two not included in the spreadsheet.

CELLNET 313-B N. Highway 11 • West Union, SC 29696 DOCUMENT NUMBER: 83-1023 Page 6 of 9 The Below statement is a placeholder until statement can be reviewed. The contractor shall provide a bucket truck for installations requiring them. A bucket truck is used for most wood and streetlight pole installations. The contractor shall comply with all local traffic ordinances while performing the TOP installations. 7. Installation 7.1. General • For every TOP that is to be installed, a TOP Installation Sheet will be provided. • The sheet has the street address, type of mounting (wood pole, streetlight pole, building, etc.), access (bucket truck or climbed manually). • The TOP uses a quick-disconnect connector that must be wired to a single phase 120 VAC or 240 VAC circuit. 7.2. Power Requirements The Takeout Point (TOP) requires the following voltage: 120 VAC +/- 20% (96-144 VAC), 60 Hz +/- 1 Hz or 240 VAC +/- 20% (192-288 VAC), 60 Hz +/- 1 Hz The Takeout Point (TOP) has the following current requirements: 1 Amp max at 120VAC (Approx.) .5 Amp typical at 240 VAC (Approx.) 7.3. Power connections 7.3.1. VERIFY THAT THE POWER SOURCE IS EITHER 120 VAC OR 240 VAC SINGLE PHASE. 7.3.2. VERIFY THAT THE POWER SUPPLY JUMPER IS CONNECTED FOR THE APPROPRIATE SOURCE VOLTAGE. 7.3.3. RUN QUICK-DISCONNECT WIRE THROUGH LIQUID TIGHT CONDUIT WITH APPROPRIATE CONNECTORS. ADDITIONAL DETAIL WILL BE PROVIDED IN FOLLOWING PROCEDURES FOR THE DIFFERENT TOP INSTALLATION TYPES. 7.4.

STREET LIGHT POLE (OTHER THAN WOOD) The final guidelines provided by the utility or municipality determine where the TOP can be installed. It is the contractor’s responsibility to know and follow the utility or municipality guidelines before installing the TOP and antenna. 7.4.2. TOP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Verify the TOP and antenna can be mounted on the pole as indicated on the TOP Installation Sheet. If the TOP and/or antenna cannot be mounted as indicated, contact a Cellnet Inc. representative and proceed to the next installation site. 2. Verify that the streetlights have AC power during daylight hours. Even if a photocell is installed on the streetlight head, it doesn’t guarantee it is not on a controller. When in doubt, pull the photocell and measure for 120 or 240 volts AC. 3. Verify that the TOP power supply voltage jumper is in the correct position. 4. Attach the streetlight pole adapter to the pole using the 3/4 banding material in the orientation described on the TOP Installation Sheet. The flat side of the adapter bracket faces outward from the pole and the banding goes through the slots on the bracket. 5. Attach the MCC to the adapter bracket with the supplied hardware. 7.4.3. WOOD UTILITY POLE 7.4.3.1. Wood utility pole The final guidelines provided by the utility determine where the TOP can be installed. Some utilities allow the TOP to be mounted above the secondary wires, while others require the TOP to be below the secondary wires. In most cases, the remote antenna can be mounted above the secondary and typically it is mounted below the primary. It is the contractor’s responsibility to know and follow the utility guidelines before installing the TOP and antenna.
CELLNET 313-B N. Highway 11 • West Union, SC 29696 DOCUMENT NUMBER: 83-1023 Page 8 of 9 7.4.3.2. TOP Installation procedure 1. Verify the TOP and antenna can be mounted on the pole as indicated on the installation sheet. If the MCC and/or antenna cannot be mounted as indicated, contact a Cellnet Inc representative and proceed to the next installation site. 2. Drill two 3/4" diameter holes through the wooden pole at 12 1/2 inches center to center. The holes should be positioned to ensure the TOP would be located at the height and direction described in the TOP Installation Sheet. 3. Mount the TOP mounting bracket on two galvanized 5/8 through bolts (D/A bolts). The bolts must be securely tightened to ensure the TOP will not move. Note: ½ through bolts may be used if this is the standard size used by the local utility. 7.5. Power cable preparation 1. Cut the liquid tight conduit to length. 2. Feed the quick disconnect wires through, then attach the conduit connectors LTFM-50 and UF-50 connectors. This end of the conduit will be attached to the secondary. 3. Attach the end with the quick disconnect to the TOP. Take the conduit and streamline it using the .U. nails along the pole to the secondary. Provide tension relief and a service loop on the conduit at the base of the TOP. 4. Drill a small hole at the bottom of the relief loop to drain moisture. 5. On the end of the piece of conduit with the LT connectors, bend the conduit downward to help prevent water from entering. 6. Seal the connector with RTV where the wires exit the conduit. 7. Cables part numbers are 105704-000 for a ten-foot cable, 105704-001 for a thirty-foot cable, and 105704-002 for a four-foot cable. 8. Depending on the utility requirements, physically connecting to the secondary may have additional requirements that have to be met. It is possible that the utility will do this. Take the naked wires from the end of the liquid tight conduit and securely clamp it to the secondary. This is a compression type fitting. Sometimes a run of secondary is needed from an adjacent pole to provide the power for this TOP. 7.6. Ethernet Connections There is an Ethernet Port on the TOP that has a weather tight connection. This port should be connected to a internet connection by no more than 30 meters of shielded CAT 5E cable.
