Quick Guide

1. Performasignaltestbyusingthetestbuttononthemodem.

2. Ifthesignalstrengthisbelow12,anexternalantennamustbeinstalled.

3. Theexternalantennamustbeplacedinapositionthatimprovesthesignal

reception.Movetheantennaarounduntiltheoptimalpositionislocated.

Performseveralsignaltestswhilefindingthebestposition.

4. UseNetmonitororequivalenttoolstohelpfindthebestpositionforthe

externalantenna,ifnecessary.

5. Beforeleavingtheinstallation,testthesignalstrengthbysendinganSMS.

MakesureallcabinetsanddoorsareclosedbeforesendingtheSMS.

Hints

• Alwaysinstallanexternalantennawheninstallinginametalcabinet.The

antennamustbeplacedoutsidethecabinet.

• UsedualbandGSMantennasforoptimalperformance.

• Beawarethatfiredoors,concreteandmetalplatesdisturbandattenuatethe

GSMsignals.

• Specialdirectionalantennascanbeorderedforareaswithverypoorsignal

conditions(contactKamstrupfordetails).

SMS

When placing the meter

in a metal cabinet, make

sure to place the antenna

outside the cabinet.

Make sure to close all

doors and cabinets

before sending the SMS.

Fire door

When placing the meter

below the ground (e.g. in

a basement), make sure

to place the antenna

close to a window or

outside the building.

2.6.1. Mounting the SIM card

TheunitcanbeorderedwiththeSIMcardmountedfromthefactory.Please

checkthatthecardhasbeeninserted.Thetelephonenumberofthecard

appearsfromalabelonthesideoftheGSM/GPRSmodule.Thenumbercanbe

readfromtheoutsidewithoutdismountingthemetercover.

fromGSM6iunits.

When the SIM card holder is opened, the connection to the

SIM card is disrupted.

When the SIM card has been inserted correctly and the holder is closed, the

module will restart automatically.

IftheunitissuppliedwithoutaSIMcard,makesurethatitisinsertedbefore

usingtheunit.

TheSIMcardholderisopenedbypushingthebrightholdertowardstheleft

andcarefullytippinguptheholder.PlacetheSIMcardwiththe“cut-off”corner

inthetoprightsideandwiththecontactsfacingtheprint.Pleaserememberto

writethetelephonenumberonalabelplacedontheoutsideoftheunit.

2.6.2. SIM card requirements

TheSIMcardmustfulfilthefollowingrequirements:

GSM/GPRS,DATA/SMS-9.6kbV110,PINcodemustbedisabled,novoiceand

nopre-paidcardcanbeused.

(seeparagraph2.3onpage8).Turntheexternalantennaarounduntilthebest

positionhasbeenfound.

If an external antenna is mounted, the internal antenna MUST be removed.

Do not mount the external antenna inside cabinets made of

metal or other materials that disturb the signal
