REX® meter family IL42-4026J 2 6 The LCD has two pulse arrows. The arrow pointing to the left indicates energy received; the arrow pointing to the right indicates energy delivered. For more information, see the technical manual for your meter. 7 Apply all seals and record any necessary information. Internal wiring diagrams Circuit closing devices must be used on current transformer secondaries. This applies to Form 3S and 4S meters.
REX® meter family IL42-4026J 3 Installation wiring diagrams Circuit closing devices must be used on current transformer secondaries. This applies to Forms 3S and 4S meters. Dangerous voltages are present if current transformer secondaries are open-circuited while the transformer is energized. Equipment damage, personal injury, or death can result if circuitclosing devices are not used.

Draft 9/25/2015 Gridstream RF Coupling Antenna Installation Guide Overview This publication outlines the procedure for installing the Gridstream RF Coupling Antenna on Gridstream RF Electric Endpoints. Figure 1. Gridstream RF Coupling Antenna This antenna couples radio frequency energy to an external antenna. This is useful for meter installations where there is difficulty in obtaining adequate reception. For example, meters located in metal enclosures or in a basement.

Draft 9/25/2015 Gridstream RF Coupling Antenna Installation Guide Landis+Gyr General Installation Guidelines Determine the optimum location for Gridstream Remote antenna installation. This will vary depending on the location of the meter. In general, the antenna should be: • Installed as close to line of sight with a Gridstream RF network equipment as is possible. • Mounted so that it is at least four inches from the nearest structure.
Landis+Gyr Draft 9/25/2015 Gridstream RF Coupling Antenna Installation Guide Gridstream RF Enhanced FOCUS AX/AX-SD Mounting Procedure This procedure supports the L+G FOCUS AX meter. NOTE: The RF Coupling Antenna should be mounted within 5 mm (0.25") of the indicated location to achieve specified performance. 1. Clean the meter cover where the flex antenna will be installed. Wipe the cover mounting area with an alcohol wipe and let the area dry for one minute before proceeding with the installation.
