Cellnet Network The CellNet Automated Meter Reading network is used to transfer information from a number of endpoints usually distributed over a large geographical area. The most common endpoints are from electrical, gas and water meters. Additional potential endpoints include parking meters, vending machines and copiers. The network includes a Radio Frequency (RF) Wide Area Network (WAN) and an RF Local Area Network (LAN). The WAN consists of either CellMasters (CM), or Take Out Points (TOP) communicating with MicroCell Controllers (MCC) Or Infinet Concentrators (IC). The LAN is the RF link between the MCC or IC and meters or other end points with CellNet meter modules installed. The endpoint data is transmitted via a radio frequency (RF) link to the MCC/TOP where it is stored and processed. The MCC or IC then transmits this information to the Network Operations Center via a RF link to the CellMaster or TOP base station. This SOP deals with the installation of TOP’s. 2. TOP enclosure/mounting The TOP is a NEMA-4 enclosure with a power supply, lead-acid battery, system CPU board and four radios. It weighs approximately 42 pounds and typically mounts on…
