8 External antenna on GSM8i RF 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 RF Concentrator MUST be remounted when the
external antenna has been mounted.
IMPORTANT
To ensure that the external antenna is mounted in such a way that it 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 RF Concentrator
Mount an external antenna
Do not mount the external antenna inside cabinets made of metal or other
materials that disturb the signal.
