B RF Filter Installation This section describes installing a RF Filter to an existing pole-mounted CGR using the remote antenna option. To install the CGR, refer to the CGR installation procedure in the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router Hardware Installation Guide. Note: Depending on the geographic region where the CGR is installed, a RF filter may be required with a remote antenna. A RF filter is required for installations in Australia, and other locations.
OpenWay® Riva CAM3S and CAM3M Installation Guide B RF Filter Installation Figure 92 RF Filter Installation Configuration Placement Guidelines for Remote Antenna Antenna placement is one of the most important factors in determining overall system performance. Careful consideration must be given to proper antenna placement. Follow these general guidelines when determining the ideal location for a remote-mounted remote antenna: 02 March 2020 ■ Mount the antenna vertically.
OpenWay® Riva CAM3S and CAM3M Installation Guide B RF Filter Installation interference and any effects it may have on system performance. Consult your Itron systems engineer for more information. ■ Height is preferred for optimal performance. Itron recommends installing the antenna no higher than 30 meters. Caution: Do not install a 5.5/5.15 dBi antenna directly on the CGR. Antenna installation directly on the CGR will compromise mechanical integrity and will not meet the compliance requirements.
OpenWay® Riva CAM3S and CAM3M Installation Guide B RF Filter Installation Figure 93 RF Filer to CGR Connection 2. Connect the other end of the RF Cable, see item 1, to the N Connector on the bottom of the RF Filter. Figure 94 RF Filer to CGR Connection Australia Applications To meet regulator requirements in Australia for the CAM3S or CAM3M in either a Star or Mesh deployment, ensure you comply with either of the following configurations: 1. Use the 915MHz 2.8dBi WPAN antenna on the CGR for CAM3M. 2.
OpenWay® Riva CAM3S and CAM3M Installation Guide B RF Filter Installation Caution: For Australia the required minimum loss between the CGR/CAM3 and 8.15dBi antenna is 2.2dB in addition to the required RF Filter and the supplied cable between the CGR and the RF Filter. Additionally, Itron recommends, you select a backhaul cellular provider that does not operate in the passband of the CAM3S/CAM3M, as this results in desensing the CAM's receiver as the two antennas are so close together.
Glossary A Adaptive Communications Technology (ACT) A technology that incorporates both radio frequency (RF) and power line communication (PLC) onto one chip set. Adaptive Communications Technology (ACT) allows an endpoint to dynamically change its communication media and modulation to the fastest and most reliable available, based on its location, network operating conditions, and the criticality of the application data.
