TC Power
Badger Meter provides an Emerson AC-to-DC power supply with cord (66528-003) that plugs into a standard
three-prong 120V AC outlet . If you are powering the gateway directly via DC power, see "CDMA, GPRS or LAN with DC Power
Source" on page 20 .

NOTE: N If you replace a gateway, make sure to replace the power supply cord with the Emerson power supply cord at the
same time .
Lightning Trrestors
Lightning arrestors are recommended for all standard and
remote antenna installations . If lightning arrestors are
used, they should be placed directly between the gateway
enclosure and the antenna cable connector and grounded
per code . One lightning arrestor is shown in Figure 28 . Arrows
indicate where other lightning arrestors should be attached .
Lightning arrestors for both the TX/RX antennas as well
as the backhaul antenna (if applicable), should meet the
following specifications:
• Operating bandwidth: 800…2400 MHz
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Power handling (average): 2 W, minimum
• Environmental/weather rating suitable for
the location
• N male connector on the protected side;
N female connector on the surge side
