Installation Guide

Note: This kit is optional. This kit is required for Star deployments using CAM1
and for Star/Mesh deployments in Australia using CAM1, or CAM3. Mesh and
Star deployments outside of Australia do not require the RF Filter. The filter can
be removed when upgrading CAM1 Star deployments to CAM3S (outside of
Australia).
Coaxial Cable Kit
The following items are included in the coaxial cable kit (KIT-9033-001):
■
One (1) coaxial cable (5 meters in length)
Antennas and Antenna Kits
Each CGR/CAM3 installation requires one of the supported antennas for proper operation. The
CGR/CAM3 has been designed and approved per FCC and ISED rules to operate with these
antennas.
Caution: Antennas not approved by Itron are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. Installing the CAM3 with an unapproved antenna voids the product warranty
and can void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This section describes the
following approved antenna kits:
■
915MHz 5.15dBi (KIT-0049-001)
■
915MHz 5.5dBi (KIT-0073-001)
■
915MHz 8.15dBi (KIT-0018-007)
■
915MHz 2.8dBi (ANT-MP2-I-OUT-M)
Antenna Supported Specifications
