2. Remove the gasket (1) from the base (2).
3. Place a new gasket on the base. Push it firmly into place. Ensure that it is level on the
antenna base; if it is not level, it could be pinched into the base and damaged when the
antenna is reconnected.
4. Reconnect the antenna to the base by turning it clockwise until it is firmly seated on
the base.
2.x System Maintenance
In addition to the antenna maintenance described earlier, the following tasks should be
performed regularly to keep your Mobile Collection 2.x system operating at peak
performance.
Inspecting and Replacing Filters
The Mobile Collector has two internal fans that circulate air through its components to cool
them. One fan draws air in from the side of the Mobile Collector, while the second fan
blows the air out the rear.
Each fan has a filter accessible externally that requires periodic replacement, depending on
the environment in which the Mobile Collector is operated. To replace the filter, pull the fan
cover off, replace the filter, and snap the fan cover back on.
Inspect the filters regularly and replace them when they become visibly
dirty. Contact an Itron customer service representative to order
replacement filters.
