Safety Warnings
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this device.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in these instructions violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Landis+Gyr Inc assumes no liability
for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
• Warning: Any work on, or near, energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering equipment can present a
danger of electrical shock. All work on this product should be performed only by qualified electricians and
metering specialists in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements and procedures outlined
in Chapter 14 of The Handbook for Electricity Metering (9th edition). The information contained within this
manual is intended to be an aid to qualified metering personnel. It is not intended to replace the extensive
training necessary to handle metering equipment in a safe manner.
• Remove the meter from service prior to installing the antenna isolation kit and/or remote external
antennas.
• Be aware that dangerous voltages exist at several points within the meter when this product is installed on a
meter socket.
• Always disconnect power before meter disassembly, soldering, or replacing components.
The S4e meter is connected directly to line potential. Due to the possibility of the potential lines being reversed, points
accessible with the cover off may be at line voltage.
LINE POTENTIAL IS PRESENT ON THE INCOMING CONNECTORS ON THE MEASUREMENT BOARD
INCLUDING THE BATTERY CONNECTOR.
The connectors have full-length insulators crimped onto each connector, which are shielded by the housing. However,
pulling the connector loose will expose the battery terminals, which may be at line potential. The option board is
connected directly to the main board and may be at a high potential. A Mylar shield prevents touching the option board.
Removing the Mylar shield exposes line voltage. The above warning label affixed to the meter frame identifies hazards in
the meter.
Failure to follow all instructions may result in an unsafe product that could cause injury or death
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE METER WITHOUT ANTENNA ATTACHED.
OPERATION WITHOUT ANTENNA MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO THE UTILINET MODULE.

FCC Information
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note:
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
interference in a residential installation. This equipment 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 receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult Landis+Gyr or an authorized technician for help.

Landis+Gyr
The S4e UtiliNet is Landis+Gyr’s latest polyphase meter product targeting advanced communications for
commercial and industrial metering needs. The S4e UtiliNet is a marriage of Landis+Gyr’s 4th generation solid-state
commercial and industrial meter with an under-glass UtiliNet module. It provides the following benefits:
• Low operational cost AMR solution
• Cumulative, Interval, Registers and Event Data
• On Demand or On Schedule Reads
• Supports small to large deployments
System Overview
The S4e UtiliNet system looks as follows:
Bulletin Number: 20031201 Rev A S4e-UtiliNet User Manual Page 5 of 13
Data acquisition can be provided by a hosted service for small to large meter deployments or an own and operate
solution. The UtiliNet network provides secure, packet based data transfer. The Landis+Gyr designed UtiliNet
module supports the following system services:
• Uses Device Control Word (DCW) programming language
• Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping Technology
• Utilizes an Unlicensed Frequency Band

S4e Meter Overview
All S4e meters include wide-dynamic voltage application capability, forms reduction, Service Scan automatic service
recognition, and GyrBox installation diagnostics and monitoring. The S4e is available with several register types,
providing the right functionality for any metering application. The S4e UtiliNet can be ordered with the following
register configurations:
AX Active energy, Demand or TOU
AXR 32K Active energy, with a 32K byte load profile recorder
AXR 128K Active energy, with a 128K byte load profile recorder
RX Active and reactive measurement, Demand or TOU
RXR 32K Active and reactive measurement with 32K byte load profile recorder
RXR 128K Active and reactive measurement with 128K byte load profile recorder
An optional input/output board provides up to 2, form C, solid-state relays and up to one external inputs for recording
pulses from a remote source. The 4 relay option board is not available with the S4e UtiliNet meter. One external input
can also be used for real-time rate changes or self-read actuation. The board can be easily added in the field without
the need for special tools or soldering.
For additional information on the S4e meter, consult the
S4/S4e Solid State Meter Instruction/Technical Manual.
UtiliNet Module Overview
The S4e meter is modular in its design. The UtiliNet module occupies the communications board slot in an S4e
meter.

Landis+Gyr
Configuration of the UtiliNet Module
The S4e UtiliNet meter is programmed using 1132Prog/1132Com. The UtiliNet module is factory programmed with
a LAN Address.
Meter Setup
The Utilinet module relies on certain inputs from relay 4 for its operation. As a result there are a few minimum
programming requirements for the S4 (using 1132Prog). The load control relay activates the relay upon power
up. This relay triggers the UtiliNet module to power up. If the meter is not programmed as shown below the
UtiliNet module will not operate as expected. A special tool, Utilinet Radio Tool, was developed to query and
reboot the UtiliNet module.
Relays:
Set Relay 4 to Load Control (“LC”), “Used” in Normal Mode and Normal Off State to “Closed”.

Meter Installation
Step 1. Installing S4e UtiliNet Meter
If existing meter is present, follow company procedures for meter removal and installation. (Note: Meter removal
and installation should only be performed by a properly trained technician.)
During communication the LCD will flash P/R in the alphanumeric segments.

Step 2. Verifying the S4e UtiliNet Communicates Over the Network
Trouble shooting Guide
Symptom
Possible Causes
S4e Meter LCD Display Blank Check voltage to meter
UtiliNet Not Communicating Check Module to Meter Connection
UtiliNet communicates but not connecting
to host Verify correct DCW Programming. Use UtiliNet
Radio Tool to check UtiliNet programming status.
UtiliNet communicates but no load profile
sent Verify that S4e meter recorder is programmed.
Using 1132Com perform a View Data and check
that meter device type detected as AXR or RXR
and that the load profile settings are correct.
Use of External Antennas
S4e UtiliNet equipped meters are manufactured with an internal antenna. However, some meter locations have less
than optimal RF reception. Many meter services are ungrounded. Examples of these types of services include
single-phase form 2S, as well as floating 3-wire delta services, 12S and 45S/5S. To improve the reliability and
safety of these floating services, Landis+Gyr has developed an interface for remotely mounted antennas that
allows RF reception under these service conditions. The High Voltage antenna coupling system protects UtiliNet
components from transients reaching up to 7,000 volts. The Landis+Gyr External Antenna Isolation Solution needs
to be installed in the S4e meter in accordance with Landis+Gyr Specifications. Contact the factory for more
information regarding ordering and installing approved external antenna solutions. See the diagram on the next
page.
