Pit & Vault Installations
For best transmission, the unit
should not be mounted directly on
any metal surfaces, such as pipes
or valves, or mounted below know
water levels.
The M1B has multiple mounting
options, including a slot for wire ties
which can be used to hang the M1A,
attach on a plastic stake or screw
directly onto a wall.
An effective mounting technique for
commercial meter vaults is to hang
the M1A unit from a fixture (such as
a ladder rung or the lid itself) near
the top of the vault. Proper
mounting in these types of vaults is
essential for good RF performance.
For smaller vaults and meter boxes,
a variety of acceptable mounting
options are available. Two simple
methods are hanging from the
lid/cover and staking into the ground.
If time and space are available, the
M1A can also be mounted on the
side of a pit with a wall bracket.
For vaults or pits with metals lids,
the M2 should be optimally
mounted 6-18 inches below the
lid/cover.
