The TRITON+ using LTE-M communication can often provide
enough wireless signal strength to install the antenna inside the
manhole with the monitor. Use the following installation
instructions for installing the antenna inside the manhole when the
monitor wireless signal strength is between -50dB and -85dB while
the antenna is inside the manhole with the manhole lid closed.
Note: The antenna should be installed as close to the
manhole lid as possible.
Note: The antenna must be installed horizontally for
optimal signal strength with ADS logo facing upwards.
1. Use a cable tie to secure the antenna to a manhole rung or
monitor mounting bracket, if available. Position the antenna as
flat and parallel to the manhole lid as possible with the ADS
logo facing upwards.
If no manhole rung or mounting bracket exists in the manhole,

install an L-bracket (using a lag bolt) to the manhole wall just
below the manhole rim and secure the antenna to the L-bracket.
Ensure the antenna is positioned as flat and parallel to the
manhole lid as possible with the ADS logo facing upwards.
