7 External antenna on GSM8i 3G
Connect the external antenna to the connector on the module. Be careful to
hear a "click" before the two connectors are connected correctly. Place the
antenna cable inside the plastic frame of the module and lead the cable out
through the cable channel at the bottom of the electricity meter. See picture
below.
It is important to notice that the internal antenna must
NOT
be mounted
together with the external antenna and must therefore be removed!!
IMPORTANT
To ensure that the external antenna is mounted in a way that optimises the
reception conditions, the signal indicator on the module must be followed
(see chapter 4 “Light Emitting Diodes”, page 8). Change the position of the
external antenna until the best position has been found.
Remove the internal antenna and
replace it with an external antenna
