Weatherproofing for Connector/Cable Connections
Weatherproofing material should be provided by the installation contractor. Badger Meter recommends weatherproofing
for all connections according to cable and connector manufacturer recommendations. Weatherproofing provides additional
moisture protection and will prevent the connections from loosening due to vibrations.
MPORTANTI
All external antennas are designed with vent holes. Any weatherproofing applied to the Type N connectors must not
obstruct this venting or the antenna can be damaged.
• On the TX/RX antennas, small vent
holes are located at the bottom end of
the antenna, next to the Type N female
connector as shown in Figure 45.

• On the backhaul antenna, the vent holes
are located at each end (Figure 46). At
the bottom end with the Type N male
connector, the vent holes are on the
outside, on the metal section. At the top,
the holes are incorporated into the cap.
