Gridstream RF Enhanced S4e Mounting Procedure
 NOTE: The passive antenna should be mounted within 5 mm (0.25") of the indicated location to
achieve specified performance.
1. Clean the meter cover where the flex antenna will be installed. Wipe the cover area with an
alcohol wipe and let the area dry one minute before proceeding with the installation.
2. Peel
the paper backing off of the adhesive tape (bottom of coupling antenna).
3. Firmly
press the center of the antenna onto the meter housing at the 2:30 o’clock position,
1.5 cm clockwise past the nub on the outer meter cover
. Align the top edge of the antenna with
the texture line on the S4e meter housing.
4. W
rap the cable tie over and through the antenna guides, and around the meter. Thread the cable
tie into the mating end of itself.

5. Ensure that the cable tie is evenly placed over the antenna and cinch tight.
6. Ins
tall the remote antenna at the location indicated by the link assessment performed. If a link
assessment tool is not available, select a location that provides the best line of sight to the nearest
collector.
7. Once ins
talled to antenna, wrap the connector using cold flow tape. Tape should be wrapped
tightly around the cable and in a continuous manner. The tape should cover the cable one inch
past the end of the connector.
8 Secure the
cable to the side of the structure using appropriate hardware for the building
construction. See Figure 5 on page 8.
