InstallingtheRTU
As with all wireless communication devices, the higher the transmitter
is installed, the better the communication will be.
SpecialNotesonGSM/GPRSFunctionality
The A753 GSM/GPRS RTU is based on a GSM module, which employs a
GSM cellular network to transmit the telemetry data. Before you install
such a device, you must make sure a sufficient signal for proper
operation of the RTU on the site where you plan to use it exists. You
can do this by using a standard cellular phone operated by the same
cellular provider. You can also verify communicatation with the RTU by
calling it as you would a normal cellular phone.
