Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 8 1 Preface This guide describes the installation process for Gridstream Network Concentrators (concentrators). Any training provided directly to installers by the utility or by the Gridstream project management team takes precedence over this guide. About the Landis+Gyr Gridstream Network The Gridstream Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network transfers information from a number of endpoints distributed over a large geographical area. The most common endpoints are from electrical, gas and water endpoints. The network includes a Radio Frequency (RF) Wide Area Network (WAN) and an RF Local Area Network (LAN). The WAN includes Take Out Points (TOP) and concentrators. The LAN is the RF link between the concentrator and endpoints with UtiliNet modules installed. Endpoint data transmits via radio frequency (RF) to the concentrator where it is stored and processed. The concentrator transmits the data via RF to the TOP and then to the utility. This chapter details the concentrator installation process. About the Concentrator The Concentrator is a device that receives one-way endpoint data from the Gridstream network, processes that data, and sends it to a Collector (Take Out Point, or TOP). It also receives and passes, but does not process, 2-way data. The concentrator contains: • a LAN radio (BLT 3 or BLT 5) • a WAN radio (UtiliNet IWR) • a power supply • a processor board (CPU) • a battery pack in case of an AC power outage. About This Guide This edition of the Landis+Gyr Gridstream Concentrator User and Installation Guide provides: • Basic installation procedure for concentrators. • A task-based overview of detailed instructions for using concentrators.

Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 12 2 Pre-Installation Proper planning and thorough preparation are critical to successful Concentrator installation. This chapter outlines basic requirements for the pre-installation phase of the concentrator deployment process. Safety Overview Prior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer safety training plan for initial, refresher, and ongoing safety training. Ensure that installers receive appropriate initial and refresher training to meet their specific safety-related responsibilities. You must provide safety training when: • an existing installer assumes new duties for which they have not previously received training. • new processes and methodologies representing new risks are introduced into the installation environment. • previously unidentified risks are reported. The installation supervisory team assumes responsibility for ensuring that installers are properly trained, authorized, and continually qualified to perform their work. The team must also take responsibility for the safety of their installers and to assure safe work methodologies. Installers must understand that their supervisor’s responsibility does not relieve them from their individual responsibility to perform the work safely and to follow all safety rules and procedures applicable to their work.

Chapter 2 - Pre-Installation Landis+Gyr Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 13 Pre-Installation Checklist Be prepared before you go onsite. The following list includes most pre-install items. Table 2-1. Pre-Install Checklist Item Description Site Survey The utility has surveyed the area to determine optimal locations for concentrator installation. Landis+Gyr offers this professional service as a contract option. Obtain Necessary Permits When the concentrator is to be installed on utility or municipal property such as utility poles, there is a general agreement to install on these poles. There may be a requirement for the utility or municipality to approve individual sites. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that approval has been given for each installation. Network Installation Timeline The Network Installation Plan specifies and formalizes the entire concentrator installation plan. Perform all surveys in advance to ensure ample time for make-ready work as well as addressing any unforeseen installation issues. All concentrators will be installed, quality-checked, and online prior to any endpoint installation in a scheduled route. Tools and Equipment The latter part of this chapter has detailed tool and equipment information. Bucket Truck Procure all necessary barricade and traffic permits for the bucket truck as required, unless covered by prior permits. Supervision Your organization has rules regarding supervision in the field. If you note any deviation from the specified installation criteria, contact your supervisor immediately. ID Badges Your identification badge should be clearly visible at all times. If you lose or damage your ID, notify your Field Supervisor immediately to get a replacement. You are not allowed to work in the field without one.

Concentrator Programming Kit 45-1046 (continued) 26-1061 T/A, 120 VAC POWER ADAPTER CUBE, S3 IWR, 1000mA 1 Writing Utility Network Parameters to the Concentrator After the concentrator is successfully powered up, you can restore (or) configure the concentrator to the utility network parameters. Use the Network Configuration Manager application to complete this process. See the Network Configuration Manager Users Guide for information about using this application to preform the following: 1. Verify that the Network ID is setup for the utility Network and the default destination points to the appropriate Take Out Point. 2. Verify that the Concentrator “MCCTIME” Helper DCW is loaded correctly in the UtiliNet IWR Radio of this Concentrator. Setting the Timekeeper Radio If you can access network time over the air, then use network time. If you are in a location that cannot access network time, then set up the local test IWR radio as a timekeeper before beginning the configuration process. The concentrator does not start processing until it detects time. Using a local test IWR radio as timekeeper can destroy network timekeeping capability if used within the network’s detection area. 1. Connect the radio to COM2 via serial cable (PN 19-1135). 2. Connect power to the radio via the power adapter (PN 26-1061). 3. Launch Network Configuration Manager on your PC. 4. Select the “Timekeeper” option. 5. Click the Write Settings button. The radio remains powered and connected to the PC during the configuration process.

Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 30 4 Concentrator Installation Antenna Mounting Options The concentrator requires three antennas to communicate with the endpoints and to relay information from the endpoint to the host application: • Two LAN antennas • One WAN antenna The LAN antennas mount on the side of the antenna bracket. The WAN communications antenna mounts on top of the enclosure or on the antenna bracket, or you can mount all three antennas remotely from the concentrator such as at the top of a utility pole or a building parapet. If all three antennas are mounted above the enclosure, coaxial cable connects the enclosure and the remote antennas. Use only Cellnet-approved antennas. For All Installations Concentrator Installation Sheet The utility provides a concentrator Installation Sheet for every concentrator to be installed. The sheet contains: • Street address • Type of mounting (wood pole, streetlight pole, building, etc.) • Access method (bucket truck or climbed manually). Power Requirements Power requirements are listed in Performance. Verify that the power source is either 120 VAC or 240 VAC single phase.

Replace the labels as shown: Replace top labels Discard serial code labels About Battery Storage The ideal storage environment is normal room temperature or slightly below. Excess temperature shortens the battery life and accelerates self discharge. Charge batteries at least once per year or sooner if needed. The battery open circuit voltage should not be allowed to drop below 12V. Recycle or dispose of batteries properly. Do not mutilate or dispose of batteries in fire to avoid risk of releasing toxic materials. Short-circuiting batteries may cause burns. Battery Test You must use a copy of RadioShop 3.4 or higher to run the battery test. See the applicable RadioShop Getting Started Guide for information on using the application to test the concentrator battery. The new Autoranging power supply (25-1008 or 25-1025) can be software-enabled into battery test mode. Disconnect the battery charger from the battery to place a load across the battery. Measure the battery voltage before, during, and at the end of this test to discover bad or weak batteries. This test is more effective than measuring the battery voltage without a load on the battery. All Series III radios will have this capability. The Series II and IIb may have this capability if retrofitted with kit, P/N 45-1029 (other kits may be available).

Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 60 6 Performing System Upgrades What Are System Upgrades? There are three kinds of upgrades you can perform on a concentrator: • The concentrator firmware • The IWR radio firmware • The IWR radio DCW. Accessing a Concentrator for Programming There are two ways to access a concentrator for upgrading: • Over the air • Directly via cable (About Programming and Diagnostic Cables, for more information). Upgrading a Concentrator Over the Air (OTA) You can remotely download firmware to the concentrator via a command window from your PC. You must have control-level user access to the host to perform this procedure. About the Image File Landis+Gyr Customer Operations manages upgrades to firmware. Landis+Gyr notifies you when there is a new release of firmware and makes the file available. To upgrade firmware, load the concentrator with a new “image.bin” file. Contact Customer Operations at ëçäìíáçåëìééçêíKå~]ä~åÇáëÖóêKÅçã for more information or to obtain the latest version of the firmware. The download application utility runs on the host backend via a process called Live System update (LSU). The host connects over the air (OTA) to the concentrator. The host automatically: 1. Sends the new firmware information to the concentrator. 2. Polls the concentrator to verify that the download is complete. 3. Disconnects when the download is complete.

Landis+Gyr Chapter 6 - Performing System Upgrades Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 61 Verifying the Concentrator and the Host Before sending large amounts of data over the network, verify communication with the concentrator. Also verify that the Cellnet host is up and running. Ping the concentrator via command line rtrping. Concentrator addresses used in the following instructions are samples only. Obtain your utility’s concentrator addresses from Customer Operations at ëçäìíáçåëìééçêíKå~]ä~åÇáëÖóêKÅçã. Pinging from the Command Line You need to know the concentrator’s network ID before performing this task. 1. Open a command window on your PC. 2. Use your administrative credentials to login as control user. 3. Type rtrping [concentrator ID]. Figure 6 - 1. rtrping screen shot If the ping is successful, the system returns the length of time it took to receive a response. If the ping is unsuccessful, the system indicates a time out condition. Verifying Host Operations Verify that the Cellnet system is running. 1. Open a command window on your PC. 2. Use your administrative credentials to login as control user.

Landis+Gyr Chapter 6 - Performing System Upgrades Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 62 3. Type iscellnet. Figure 6 - 2. iscellnet screen shot If the ping is successful, the system returns the length of time it took to receive a response. If the ping is unsuccessful, the system indicates a time out condition. Hot-Booting a Concentrator Always perform a disconnect, followed by a hot boot, before any download operations. For a firmware upgrade to be successful, it must load on top of system variables set to their default values. If you always perform a hot reboot, you always start with default values. 1. Open a command window on your PC. 2. Use your administrative credentials to login as control user. 3. Type mcc_cmd 30000.1 -resethot. Figure 6 - 3. Hot boot concentrator

Landis+Gyr Chapter 6 - Performing System Upgrades Network Concentrator User and Installation Guide 98-1013 Rev AF 63 Downloading Firmware OTA The download client program offers several command line options you can use to manage the upgrade process. These options are listed in Table 6-1 on page 65. Mandatory download options include: -mccadd, -session, and -s (image file location). 1. Open a command window on your PC. 2. Use your administrative credentials to login as control user. 3. Browse to /usr/cellnet/bin. Figure 6 - 4. cd usr/cellnet/bin 4.
