8.1  Antenna for GSM8i RF 3G

Always install an external antenna on the GSM8i RF 3G module, and the 
antenna must be of the type 

Triangle

 from Kamstrup. Order No. 6699407 or 

6699408.

The Triangle antenna covers all the frequency areas for 2G, 3G and RF, and it is 
therefore the only antenna that can be used for this module.

8.2  Mounting GSM8i RF 3G in Kamstrup electricity meters

This paragraph concerns only GSM8i RF 3G as it must be supplied from the 

meter's phases. It does not concern the base module GSM8i 3G as this is 

supplied directly from the module connector.
