Proprietary and Confidential
• Performing all antenna / coax sweep testing, documenting each network device
installation with at least 10 digital pictures and reporting as-built GPS coordinates and
antenna centerline heights, by the "tape drop" method.
• Providing all required tools, equipment and capable field crews that are required to
properly install Itron network devices, including RF testing equipment.
Note Supplier is responsible for ensuring that all supplier managed field crews meet
any local labor and / or pay requirements, such as union requirements, local business,
mandatory minimum "Living Wages", as may be required.
• Include the expected equipment and costs associated with performing any coax,
jumper, and antenna sweep testing, per the current version of the Itron Remote
Antenna Sweep Test. For more information, see Testing on a Network Device with a
Remotely-Mounted 900 MHz Antenna on page 84.
• Compiling a package of as-built and closeout documentation in a compact electronic
format (Adobe .pdf files preferred) and e-mailing each site package to the Itron PM
development within three business days following each completion.
