2G/4G Network Module • HC-003-80

2  Mounting the meter and the antenna

When mounting the antenna, the cable must be mounted without sharp bends. It must not be twisted around the cable relief 
as this can damage the cable and the performance of the antenna.

Wrong installation

Correct installation

The antenna cable is twisted around the cable relief and 
thus has a sharp bend.

The antenna cable is mounted without sharp bends.

It is important that the antenna is mounted as high as possible and with large distance to other antennas and steel pipes to 
avoid noise and disturbances. If the meter is mounted in a metal cabinet, the antenna must be mounted outside the metal 
cabinet, otherwise, the transmission power of the meter will be increased causing a reduced battery lifetime. When the 
antenna has been mounted, close the calculator, and activate the CALL function.

1  Mounting the module

When the module has been correctly mounted, you must attach the disconnected calculator and let the meter start up 
correctly until KWh or MWh is shown in the display.
