Installation of OpenWay Riva CENTRON Meter Remote Antenna Flex Coupler Itron is announcing the availability of a remote antenna solution for use with the OpenWay Riva CENTRON meter. This assembly is designed for installation configurations where it is necessary to extend the RF antenna inside the meter; for example, basement installations or metal enclosures. This antenna does not provide any amplification of the RF signal, but provides a method to relocate the transceiver.
Approved customer supplied antenna specifications Since each customer deployment will be unique with regards to the required cabling and type of antenna, the cabling and antennas will be customer provided. Note: Under ISED Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED.
Customer supplied remote antennas should meet the following specifications. Elevated Feed Point Whip Antenna Frequency: 890 - 960 MHz VSWR: 2.0:1 or less Maximum Gain: 3.0 dBi Low Profile Radome Antenna Frequency: 806 - 960 MHz VSWR: 2.0:1 or less Maximum Gain: 2.14 dBi Dual Band Tri Mode Stub Antenna Frequency: 700 - 960 MHz VSWR: 2.0:1 or less Maximum Gain: 2.0 dBi Customer supplied cabling recommendation The Itron flex antenna is supplied with an SMA male connector.
Flex Antenna Installation Procedure 1. Clean the meter cover where the flex antenna will be installed. Wipe area with alcohol wipes and let dry one minute. 2. When using the flex antenna with Velcro mount, a recommended 3M Adhesion Promoter (K-520) Stock Number JT-2800-1252-0 or similar type adhesion promoter should be used to clean the antenna surface prior to attaching the Velcro strip. This will help ensure proper adhesion of the Velcro to the antenna. 3.

Labeling The following requirements will be applied to any products that use this module: The end product or host label will include the following text: • • • Contains: FCC ID: SK9ACT2 IC: 864G-ACT1, Model: ACT2 The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text. If the device is large enough, then this will also be placed on the label. “This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Under Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Installation The ACT2 module will be installed in the Itron OPENWAY RIVA CENTRON electric meter. Shown are the meter base with metrology board, the board to board connector, the ACT2 module, the display and the inner and outer cover.
