Installation Manual OVERVIEW This manual contains installation and programming instructions for the GALAXY® II gateway receiver. Proper performance and reliability of the gateway receiver depends upon installation in accordance with these instructions. Product Description The GALAXY II gateway receiver (“gateway”) is an easy-to-install, easy-to-deploy unit that collects metering data from the GALAXY TR3 meter endpoints in the area.
GALAXY® II Gateway Receiver SPECIFICATIONS IIMPORTAN The GALAXY II gateway receiver is functionally equivalent to the previous GALAXY gateway receiver. However, the physical configuration of the new enclosure is different. This change affects installation considerations, including cabling, size, weight and wind load area. Make sure to consider these variables in your evaluation of an installation location. Installation 1.25…2.5" outside diameter pole mount: Aluminum V-blocks 2.
Installation Manual TYPE OF INSTALLATION New If this is a new installation, follow the installation procedures in this document, beginning with "Mounting the Gateway" on page 8. Replacement If this is a replacement of an existing GALAXY gateway receiver, review the following information before starting installation. • Verify that your existing infrastructure is rated for the weight and wind load area of the gateway. • GALAXY Gateway Receiver 3.0 GALAXY II Gateway Receiver Weight 6.5 lb 11.
GALAXY® II Gateway Receiver MOUNTING THE GATEWAY IMPORTANT Receiver installation, mounting and disposal shall be in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. When installing the receiver, customer is responsible for complying with local, state, and federal codes and guidelines, as well as applicable industry standards, such as ANSI/TIA/EIA 222 (structural standards for steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures) and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Installation Manual Gateway Standard Components • One GALAXY II gateway receiver with attached mounting backplate and antennas. • V-block clamps or banding and locking equipment for attaching a gateway receiver to a pole. • 100-foot or 300-foot power cable, M12 connector, AC-to-DC power supply and power cord.

Installation Manual Lock Washer Lock Washers Nuts Bolts Clamps Figure 6: Receiver positioning and clamps 7. Place a lock washer and nut on each bolt and tighten the nuts 100…150 inch-pounds to ensure the gateway is sufficiently secured to the pole. 8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for attaching the V-block clamp mounting bracket hardware to the bottom bolts of the gateway mounting backplate.
GALAXY® II Gateway Receiver Banding Mounting Banding mounting equipment is sized to mount the gateway on a 2-1/2…24-inch outer diameter pole. IMPORTANT When using the banding mounting kit for the network gateway receiver, use BAND-IT® Idex installation practices. Refer to www.band-it-idex.com/en/Literature/Tool_Instructions/P05886.pdf for more information.
Installation Manual 1. Locate the BAND-IT tool and supplied installation instructions. 2. Follow the BAND-IT-supplied installation instructions enclosed with the BAND-IT tool for attaching the network gateway receiver to a pole. 3. Using a 1/2-inch wrench, the recommended torque for the 5/16-24 screw that attaches the gateway bracket to the BAND-IT banding is 144…168 inch-pounds (12…14 foot-pounds).
GALAXY® II Gateway Receiver ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AC Power Badger Meter provides an AC-to-DC power supply with power cord that plugs into a standard three-prong 120V AC outlet. If powering the gateway directly via DC power, please refer to the DC power information on page 19. Figure 11: 120V AC power supply with power cord M12 Connector Assembly NNOTE: Use only approved Badger Meter power cable, 100-feet (66233-010) or 300-feet (66233-013) for this assembly.
Installation Manual Figure 13: Stripped cable wires 3. Shorten the foil shield flush with the outer jacket. 4. Strip the ends of the six (6) colored wires to a length of 1/8 inch. Twist the conductors on each wire. 5. Shorten the drain/bare wire (no insulation) to 11/16 inch. 6. Loosen each screw (about 2…3 turns) on the female insert and attach the wires to the insert using the chart below. Retighten each screw after the wire has been connected.

Connect the M12 plug connector assembly to the M12 receptacle and tighten the locking ring in a clockwise direction until finger tight. 10. Connect the 308 connector on the other end of the power cable to the 308 connector of the AC-to-DC power supply and snap the anti-tamper collar over the connection. 11.
Installation Manual ELECTRICAL / NETWORK INSTALLATIONS Access to Power • The gateway requires access to power and can use either a 120V AC grounded outlet for use with the AC-to-DC power supply and power cord (66528-003), or a DC power source to be used with the DC power source cable with 308 in-line connector. For a gateway with a LAN PoE configuration, a Power over Ethernet connection is required.
GALAXY® II Gateway Receiver LAN Recommended Installation NNOTE: Consult manufacturer's installation and usage recommendations as well as appropriate codes, regulations and standards for the LAN RJ45 Ethernet connection.
Installation Manual DC Power Source Installation The gateway can be ordered with a 10-foot DC power source cable (66233-020) for direct connection with a customer-supplied DC power source. The power requirements for the gateway are a DC voltage source between 12…24 V DC. Power cable lengths may be limited by the voltage of the DC source.
