Installation of OpenWay Riva CENTRON Meter Remote
Antenna Flex Coupler
Itron is announcing the availability of a remote antenna solution for use with the
OpenWay Riva CENTRON meter. This assembly is designed for installation
configurations where it is necessary to extend the RF antenna inside the meter; for
example, basement installations or metal enclosures. This antenna does not provide
any amplification of the RF signal, but provides a method to relocate the transceiver.
Some signal attenuation is expected with this configuration.
The assembly consists of an Itron flex coupler that fits the outer cover of the meter. This
allows for attaching customer provided remote fixed antennas and cabling. See Figure
1 below for a photo of the flex coupler assembly.

Approved customer supplied antenna specifications
Since each customer deployment will be unique with regards to the required cabling and
type of antenna, the cabling and antennas will be customer provided.
Note: Under ISED Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if
Category II) has been approved by ISED to operate with the antenna types listed below
with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna
type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Remarque: En vertu de la réglementation ISED Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut
fonctionner qu'avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par l'ISED. Pour réduire les interférences radio potentielles avec
d'autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain devraient être choisis de façon à ce
que la puissance éloignée isotrope équivalente (e.i.r.p.) ne soit pas supérieure à celle
nécessaire à une communication réussie.
Cet émetteur radio (identifiez le périphérique par numéro de certification ou numéro de
modèle si Catégorie II) a été approuvé par l'ISED pour fonctionner avec les types
d'antennes répertoriés ci-dessous avec le gain maximal admissible et l'impédance
d'antenne requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Les types d'antenne non inclus
dans cette liste, ayant un gain supérieur au gain maximal indiqué pour ce type, sont
strictement interdits pour être utilisés avec cet appareil.

VSWR: 2.0:1 or less
Maximum Gain: 3.0 dBi
Low Profile Radome Antenna
Frequency: 806 - 960 MHz
VSWR: 2.0:1 or less
Maximum Gain: 2.14 dBi
Dual Band Tri Mode Stub Antenna
Frequency: 700 - 960 MHz
VSWR: 2.0:1 or less
Maximum Gain: 2.0 dBi
Customer supplied cabling recommendation
The Itron flex antenna is supplied with an SMA male connector. Customer supplied
cabling that attaches to the Itron flex antenna should meet the following specifications.
RG58C Coaxial Cable, SMA Male / Female
50 Ohm RF (Radio Frequency) transmission
Male to female gender combination
Crimp style SMA connector
Antenna Installation Guidelines
For optimal performance, several guidelines should be followed in the installation of this
remote antenna.
These include:
Mounting the antenna in the proximity to the nearest structure.
For inside installations, remote antennas may be mounted in the proximity of an
available window, or routed to the outside if the signal strength is not great
enough.
Mounted so the cable between meter and antenna will not be compromised or
damaged.

Flex Antenna Installation Procedure
1. Clean the meter cover where the flex antenna will be installed. Wipe area with
alcohol wipes and let dry one minute.
2. When using the flex antenna with Velcro mount, a recommended 3M Adhesion
Promoter (K-520) Stock Number JT-2800-1252-0 or similar type adhesion promoter
should be used to clean the antenna surface prior to attaching the Velcro strip. This
will help ensure proper adhesion of the Velcro to the antenna.
3. Affix the flex antenna to the outer cover as shown in Figure 1.
4. Install the remote antenna at the designated location, following the Installation
Guidelines above.
5. Once installed to the antenna, wrap the connectors in cold flow tape. Tape should be
wrapped tightly and in a continuous manner and should cover the cable one inch
past the end of the connector where it attaches to both the flex circuit patch and the
antenna.
6. Secure the cable to the side of the structure.

ACT2 Meter Module
Labeling
The following requirements will be applied to any products that use this module:
The end product or host label will include the following text:
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text. If the device is large
enough, then this will also be placed on the label.
“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.”
Regulatory Compliance
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text:
FCC Part 15, Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
