1User and Installation Guide 98-0021 Rev 01 5GridstreamSeries IV RouterOverviewThe Landis+Gyr Gridstream Router is designed for outdoor mounting. The Gridstream Router supports RS-232/485 serial interface for Transparent Packet Protocol (TPP) and RS-232 serial interface for LAN Packet Protocol (LPP). The LAN Packet Protocol line is used to communicate to devices which use LPP, such as a PC with configuration or diagnostic software, or an end device which has implemented LPP. The TPP provides a general data port and is used to transport byte-oriented data, such as that generated by industry standard protocols.In an AMI system, Gridstream Routers are used to create a robust communications path to a collector or for Smart Grid applications. In a Distribution Automation application it is commonly interfaced with such devices as Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and other Intelligent End Devices (IEDs) and communicates via RS-232/485 TPP to end devices. The Gridstream Router Radio (see Figure 1 - 1) is provided in a 120/240 Volt AC/DC version. An optional RF filter has been included for reducing interference. The filter can be enabled or disabled in the field by qualified personnel using RadioShop. The Gridstream Router when used internationally, will have to be programmed via a Device Control Word (DCW) to meet the specific country RF (Frequencies and output power) requirements. These country specific requirements may reduce the RF power or number of operational frequencies available.The Gridstream Router radios are approved for operation in Australia (915-928 MHz) and New Zealand(921-928 MHz). For current specific RF requirements for your country, contact Landis+Gyr customer service.Figure 1 - 1. Gridstream Router RadioDraft 3.15.2010
Chapter 1 - Gridstream Series IV Router Landis+Gyr6 98-0021 Rev 01 User and Installation GuideThe Gridstream Router radio is provided in a white, die-cast aluminum enclosure. It has two connectors—one for AC power and one for RS-232/485 signal and 12/24 DC power. The Gridstream Router will operate between 120VAC (+/-20%) and 277 VAC (+/-15%) without having to change any settings. 12/24 VDC can be applied through the same port that provides the RS-232 lines. RS-232 lines are provided for both LPP and TPP communication. The radio is provide with a standard N-Female antenna connector and mounting hardware.If programming before installation, an optional programming cable should be ordered with Gridstream Routers radios for initial configuration (see P/N 105617-000 and 105616-000). If you are connecting the Gridstream Router to an RS-232 end device, you will also need to order a signal cable (see P/N 105554-000 and P/N 105552-000).A battery version is available for backup during a power outage. The battery is factory-installed into the radio enclosure.ADisconnecting the power cable at the radio will also disconnect the battery.A filter version is available for attenuation of out-of-band interference. The filter is factory-installed into the radio enclosure.This band pass filter attenuates out-of-band signals and is used to reject interference from sources such as paging and cellular phone. Only sites that exhibit interference from out-of-band sources require this filter. Gridstream Routers are designed to be in-band interference tolerant. In-band interference has rarely ever been a problem.ASeries I Gridstream Router cables are not compatible with Series III (current version) Gridstream Router radios.Notes on International version• The radio must be programmed to meet the specific RF requirements of the country it is to be used in. These requirements may reduce the RF power or number of channels available. • The Gridstream Router radios, when used in Australia and New Zealand, operate from 915 MHz to 928 MHz. The filter is not recommended for these radios. • At present, there is only one power cable available, P/N 19-1224. The cable uses a VDE/SEV/UL approved connector. The wire harness uses the international coloring scheme of brown for active, blue for return and yellow/green for earth ground.Draft 3.15.2010

It is the installer’s responsibility to know and follow the utility or municipality guidelines before installing the Gridstream Router. The utility provides installation information for every Gridstream Router to be installed, such as:• Street address or Latitude/Longitude of site location• Type of mounting (wood pole, streetlight pole, building, etc.)• Access method (bucket truck or pole-climb)Safety PrecautionsEach individual utility will have its own interpretation of local codes and regulations governing the installation and placement of equipment on a power distribution pole. The utility or municipality determines the final guidelines of where to install the Gridstream Router. Know and follow the utility or municipality guidelines before installing the Router.UFollow all local safety precautions for working around high voltage lines.Power RequirementsVerify that the power source is between 120 VAC and 240 VAC. The power source must have a constant supply of voltage.Poles selected for Gridstream Router installation must have a constant supply of voltage. Many streetlights are fed by a switched source that is controlled by a master switch, elsewhere. A pole that is powered only half a day, everyday will produce a failure condition.Draft 3.15.2010

The Gridstream Router mounting kit may be preassembled for ease of installation on a streetlight mast.2. Slide a lock washer and a flat washer onto each of the two 3/8-16 bolts, attach the swivel bracket to the mounting plate by threading bolt into press nut on mounting plate. 3. Slide a lock washer and a flat washer onto each of the four 1116 3/8-16 bolts, you are now ready to thread the bolts through the clamps that will go around the streetlight mast.To install the swivel bracket to the mast, open one side of the bracket to permit mast entry. 4. Hang the Gridstream Router mount assembly off the mast and re-install the mast clamp bolts, taking care to keep the flat washer and lock washer on the mast clamp bolts with the lock washer closer to the head of the bolt.5. Install the antenna and connect the power supply cable assembly to the Gridstream Router.UIf using the 105704-000, 105704-001, 105704-002, 105704-003, or 19-1224 cables, the end of the cable opposite the connector (the unterminated end) must be installed in a junction box or other suitable enclosure. Leaving the end of the cable exposed may allow water to migrate into the cable and into the Gridstream Router. See Appendix B for power cable installation procedures and details.6. As the mast clamps are tightened, align the Gridstream Router so that the antenna does not exceed 5o off perpendicular to the ground.The antenna should never be more than 5° off in any direction from being perpendicular to the ground.7. Route the power cable and connect the cable photo-eye adapter to the streetlight for power to the Gridstream Router.The mounting bracket can be adjusted to compensate for the angle of the streetlight arm. This allows the Gridstream Router to be perpendicular to the ground plane. A small bubble level is useful to ensure that the antenna is correctly positioned.8. Verify that the antenna is perpendicular within tolerance and tighten all bolts per specifications.9. Secure the power cable to the light arm using UV-resistant cable ties. Trim the waste ends from the ties for a clean installation. 10. Use short lengths of Rubber Mastic Tape to wrap around the antenna connector and the power supply cable assembly connector joints. Wrap two layers of mastic tape around the joints.11. Finish with a layer of vinyl tape around the Mastic Tape.Draft 3.15.2010

Note that a drip loop at both ends of the cable is needed. Draft 3.15.2010
Appendix B - Power Cable Installation Landis+Gyr48 98-0021 Rev 01 User and Installation GuideRecommendationsWhen existing 105704-XXX cables are used, they must be terminated inside a junction or disconnect box. The inner wires cannot be exposed until after the 105704-XXX cable enters the enclosure. Once inside the box, connect the power leads to wires going to the mains per local practice. Connections to the mains must use UV-stable wiring. As long as the wire is UV-stable and rated for outdoor use, the wire model and manufacturer may be selected by the programs. Part number 18-1033 wire is acceptable and recommended.In published examples, collector cables are shown going through conduit. Conduit is not required for Routers, but the entrance to the junction box should be through a clamp at the bottom of the junction box. Junction boxes do not have a part number and are available through local vendors. As always, electrical connections need to meet the requirements of the local utility and local ordinances. The following diagram shows an installation using a junction box with a Router. If the 105704-XXX cable is used, this is a required installation procedure. Figure B - 2. Suggested Power Termination If the 105627-XXX cable is used, then the cable can go directly to the mains, provided drip loops are made at the point of contact with the mains and at the Router. The drip loop at the point of attachment to the mains should rise above the level of the point of attachment.

CUser and Installation Guide 98-1021 Rev 01 49TroubleshootingTroubleshooting Gridstream RoutersThe following are general guidelines for troubleshooting a router once it has been successfully installed and configured for communications to the Command Center head-end system.AA router's main purpose is to facilitate routing of packets and provide communications paths. If a router fails, the network will self adjust and use alternative communications paths. However, if a router is used as a communications bridge for meters in a rural environment or a meter bank, a router outage should be handled with a higher priority and replaced in a timely fashion to prevent falling behind on meter reads.1. When an outage event is received in Command Center from a router, go to the History tab in the Stat + Utilinet Endpoint Information screen and establish when the outage occurred.Figure C - 1. 2.
