3.2 Installation and Operation
Install the Eka Elster A3/Alpha Plus node in the Elster A3/Alpha meter as shown
in Figure 3.4.
Connect the Elster A3/Alpha Plus Meter Board to the Meter Interface Connector
on the Elster A3/Alpha Plus Node.
As soon as the meter is installed and powered on, the Elster A3/Alpha Plus
node will begin operation.
Because the EkaNet node communicates with the A3 meter at 9600 baud, the
meter must be configured to ensure that it communicates at 9600 baud. Please
refer to the A3 meter documentation for configuration procedures.
