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.
