Considerations Product overview The 'water' version of Cello 6S is a battery powered, fully integrated, data logger designed primarily for the remote monitoring, recording and analysis of pulse input data in automatic meter reading ('AMR') applications within water distribution networks. Data is transmitted remotely over cellular 2G (GSM) and / or 3G (UMTS) mobile telecommunications networks.
Disposal / end of life The Cello 6S is electrical / electronic equipment and as such, at end of life, it must not be disposed of as unsorted municiple waste but collected separately in order to allow correct and environmentally sound treatment and recycling.

Notes 1) Where the Cello 6S does not feature an external antenna connector, i.e. it only has an internal antenna, then it should be positioned as high up as possible and, where practical, away from metal structures. In order to determine optimal Cello 6S performance a signal strength test should be perfomed (as detailed in the "Installation:...
22mm to 200mm (best fit on 22mm) Notes 1) Where the Cello 6S does not feature an external antenna connector, i.e. it only has an internal antenna, then it should be positioned as high up as possible and, where practical, away from metal structures.
Installation: Boundary box Where it is required that the Cello 6S is located in a 'boundary' type box, the Cello 6S must first be mounted in a suitable 'cradle'. For illustration purposes an Atlantic Plastics (ATPLAS) "MeterBox" and associated Technolog 2137TT6000 mounting bracket are shown.
Installation: Security sealing The Cello 6S enclosure has been designed in two halves; the main body and a removeable lid. As per "Features" section of this manual, the main body houses the circuit board, internal antenna, SIM card and replaceable battery pack.
