Before you install
Use authorized utility procedures when installing this device. Equipment damage, personal injury, or
death can result if authorized utility procedures are not followed when installing this device.
For optimal performance of the LAN antenna, Elster recommends that the enclosure be installed so
that it is at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground. Failure to meet the minimum ground clearance can
result in degraded performance of communications within the EnergyAxis System.
The enclosure is provided with a universal mounting bracket. This bracket allows the enclosure to be
mounted to a pole or building using either bolts or band straps. Choose an installation location that
provides easy access to the cable entry glands and internal enclosure terminations of the cables.
Two keyhole-shaped bolt holes are provided in the bracket (see Figure 4). The keyhole is provided to
allow the fasteners to be partially secured to the installation location before mounting the enclosure.
The head of the fastener can pass through the large opening in the keyhole and allow the enclosure to
be suspended from the fasteners for final tightening.
