Gridstream RF Enhanced S4e Mounting Procedure
This procedure supports the L+G AXS4e, L+G RXS4e, L+G AXRS4e, and L+G RXRS4e meters.
 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 area with an
alcohol wipe and let the area dry one minute before proceeding with the installation.
2. Peel the paper backing off of the adhesive tape (b
ottom of coupling antenna).
3. Firmly press the center of the antenna onto the
meter housing at the 2:30 o’clock position,
1.5 cm clockwise past the nub on the outer meter cover. Align t
he top edge of the antenna with
the texture line on the S4e meter housing.
4. Wrap the cable tie over and through the antenna guides, and around
the meter. Thread the cable
tie into the mating end of itself.

5. Ensure that the cable tie is evenly placed over the antenna and cinch tight.
6. Install the remote antenna at the location indicated by the link assessment performed. If a link
ass
essment tool is not available, select a location that provides the best line of sight to the nearest
collector.
7. Once inst
alled to antenna, wrap the connector using cold flow tape. Tape should be wrapped
tightly around the cable and in a continuous manner. The tape should cover the cable one inch
past the end of the connector.
