2 Mounting GSM8i 3G
GSM8i 3G, article number 6817xxxxxxxx, is supplied via the module connector,
and it is prepared for the mounting of an external antenna.
2.1 Mounting order
1. Dismount the top cover of the meter.
2. Insert the SIM card (see chapter 5 “SIM card”, page 10).
3. Place the module in the meter's module area (please check that the eight
module pins are all plugged in).
4. When the two diodes in the middle of the module stop flashing, the signal
strength is read on the indicator (see paragraph 4.2.4 “Signal strength
indicator”, page 9).
5. If the signal strength is not acceptable, mount an external antenna (see
chapter 6 “Mounting of external antenna (to be ordered separately)”, page
11)
6. Before leaving the installation, check the signal strength by sending an SMS
(see chapter 10 “SMS commands”, page 20).
If the module does not indicate normal operating conditions (such as
sufficient signal strength), refer to chapter 9 “Error detection help”, page
19.
