3.2 Installation locations
READy Mini Concentrator can be installed both vertically and horizontally.
READy Mini Concentrator has a reach off approximately 40-60 m depending on the
installation environment. Install READy Mini Concentrator as close to the meters as
possible, however at least 50 cm from the meters you intend to read.
READy Mini Concentrator can be installed both vertically and horizontally. It is designed to
be installed indoors in residential or commercial environments either on public or private
property. The device can be installed on a wall using the keyhole bracket at the bottom of
the device or placed on a plain surface.
Consider aspects as reflection and absorption of radio signals when installing READy Mini
Concentrator. Install READy Mini Concentrator up high to allow free radiation around the
built-in antenna.
3.2.1 Installation for priority data
To maintain a stable priority data reception from the meter to READy Mini Concentrator, install READy Mini Concentrator with
line of sight to the meter, no more than 20 m away.
If READy Mini Concentrator does not have line of sight to the meter, the distance between READy Mini Concentrator and the
meter should not exceed 10 m.
3.2.2 Installation for hourly data
Hourly data gives READy Mini Concentrator much longer time to collect and log data from the meter. This installation scenario
is less demanding than the installation for priority data with 5-minute values. This means that you can install READy Mini
Concentrator further away from the meter. Kamstrup advises you to check the signal quality of READy Mini Concentrator
during commissioning on the installation website. If the signal bar is 1 or more, the installation is acceptable.
