Stealth Reader

Installation

Installation of the Stealth Reader consists of several different steps. This section goes over the installation of the

Stealth Reader and the mounting process with considerations to have in mind.

Considerations

1. Signal distance depends on the location of the Stealth Reader's antenna. When the Stealth Reader's

antenna is higher the signal is generally stronger.

2. The Pit Lid or Vault may affect the transmission range. The different material can cause the range to

decrease or increase, it depends on what it is, for instance a plastic lid has a larger range compared to

a cast iron lid.

3. The installation takes about 5-10 minutes, but it will depend on the location and mounting. If the lid

uses the Screw Top and Nut assembly as well as a hole for the unit to go into. Make sure there is

enough space between the box lid and the ground for the Stealth reader to sit and operate. If there isn't

enough space so the Stealth reader to sit properly, remove some dirt from the area. Do not over-

tighten lid locks!

Procedure

Preparing the Meter

1. Check the Meter for anything that could be wrong.

2. Clean the lens/face by using Fast Orange non-pumice cleaner and a cloth or cotton swab to

remove any residue.

3. Now clean the meter face/lens again only now with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a New lint-free

cotton swab.

4. Continue to wipe the surface of the lens with a new cotton swab, till the cotton swab comes up

clean, also clean leans squeaks when wiped.

5. When the cleaning is done, make sure that the lens is Completely dry, to make sure the alcohol

has evaporated.
