SCHLUMBERGER RMS PROPRIETARY STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE 1.0 Introduction The Residential Gas Remote Antenna provides an RF fix-up solution for Residential Gas 3 installations which cannot be heard with adequate packet success rate due to the location of the gas meters. There are two foreseeable methods for deploying the Remote Antenna. The first and most cost effective method is by reviewing a deployment area and determining the need for a remote antenna up front by using tools such as a LAT .

SCHLUMBERGER RMS PROPRIETARY STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE • 28-1805, bracket, antenna, small right angle 4.0 General Guidelines Determine the optimum location for the installation of the remote antenna. This will vary depending on the location of the meter. In general, the antenna should be: • Installed as close to line of sight to an MCC as is possible. • Mounted so that it is at least 4 inches from the nearest structure.

SCHLUMBERGER RMS PROPRIETARY STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE 5.0 Procedure When available use the LAT tool to determine the best location for mounting the antenna. Ideally you will place the antenna where you hear from MCC’s the best. You may or may not be able to hear from any MCC’s. This does not mean that the antenna will not work since the antenna strength is greater than the antenna strength on the LAT.
