Endpoint Antenna Configurations
L&G Focus-2 Utilinet Endpoint Antenna:
This device has been designed with an integrated loop antenna, located on the PCB surface layer
on the reverse (non-component) side of the assembly. This antenna has a typical gain of 3 dB.
GE I-210 Utilinet Endpoint Antenna:
This device has been designed with an integrated loop antenna, located on the PCB surface layer
on the reverse (non-component) side of the assembly. This antenna has a typical gain of 3 dB.
GE kV2c Utilinet Endpoint Antenna:
This device has been designed to operate with the antenna listed below, and having a maximum
gain of 1 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 1 dB are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
GE kV2c Antenna – Flex Dipole, Cellnet p/n: 19-0077 or 19-1173
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
Elster A3 Utilinet Endpoint Antenna:
This device has been designed to operate with the antenna listed below, and having a maximum
gain of 3 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 3 dB are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Elster A3 Antenna – Loaded Monopole, Elster p/n: 1B12150H01
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
Chapter 3 UtiliNet Endpoint Configuration
A local UtiliNet radio is required to communicate with the integrated UtiliNet radio modules inside your
meters. This radio may be a standard UtiliNet Series 3000 IWR radio as seen below.
