Tower Installation
Warning Before installing a Tower CCU, ensure that the selected location can
support the weight of the Tower CCU and mounting hardware. A thorough
structural analysis should be performed by a qualified engineer at your desired
location prior to installation. Itron is not responsible for improper installations or
for installations at a site that cannot adequately support the Tower CCU.
All coaxial cable connections must be properly weather-proofed per industry standards
unless otherwise specified. This includes any connections for the antennas and the Tower
CCU. If the Tower CCU is installed indoors, only the connections located outside need to
be weather-proofed.
Important To prevent exceeding the maximum EIRP set by the FCC, there must
be at least 2 dB of loss between the antenna connector at the base of the tower
cabinet and the high gain 900 MHz antenna. Do not exceed 3.5 dB of loss to
maintain system performance. Only use the Itron approved high gain antenna.
