      How to install the Aquana TTL External Antenna

      This is a step-by-step instruction set for how to install the Aquana TTL External Antenna

      1. If you’re installing the SV2 inside a meter pit requiring IP68 compliance, you’ll use the Aquana through-the-lid external antenna.
      2. A standard 1 ⅞” diameter hole is required if you are installing through the lid.
      3. There are 4 parts to the antenna assembly which include: 1) antenna & cable assembly (~ 5’ length included), 2) threaded cap, 3) brass plate, and 4) threaded nut, which arrive fully assembled.
      4. The key factors for installation are:
        1. This antenna can only be installed through or under polymer lids.  Cast iron lids are not supported at this time.
        2. The brass plate provides additional RF performance and must be located directly underneath the cap.
      5. First disconnect the antenna cable from the SV2 if it is currently connected.
      6. We recommend unthreading the nut, and installing the antenna from the top of the lid.  
      7. Once the cap, plate, and assembly are in place, rethread the nut and secure the assembly in place.
      8. Reconnect the antenna cable to the SV2 antenna receptacle.  The finished assembly looks like this:


      9. We recommend that execute the “Check Network Connection” function using Aquana Mobile again after installation to ensure a reliable connection to the cellular network.
