When installing in a high traffic area, Neptune recommends
that the dome of the antenna be recessed in the pit lid as
shown in Figure 25.

Recessing the installation reduces the range of the antenna.

For best results, Neptune recommends installing the L900 MIU
in a location that provides a direct line of site to the path of
the meter reader.
l
Although the L900 MIU has a cable already attached (2 feet
or 6 feet), some installations can require additional cable. In
these cases, the maximum cable length between the encoder
register and L900 MIU depends on the register's manufacturer
and model. Refer to Table 11 for maximum cable lengths.
Encoder Register
Maximum Cable Length
Neptune ARB V*
300 feet (91 meters)
Neptune ProRead / E-CODER
500 feet (152 meters)
Sensus Protocol Register

* Meets manufacturer's published specification for wire length
between encoder and remote receptacle.
