Overview
OVERVIEW
This manual provides installation instructions for the GALAXY® TR3 gateway receiver.
Proper performance and reliability depends upon installation in accordance with these instructions.
OTE:N Refer to the Gateway Configuration Software manual available at www.badgermeter.com for instructions on
configuring and programming the gateway.
Product Description
The GALAXY TR3 gateway receiver (“gateway”) is an easy-to-install, easy-to-deploy unit that collects metering data from the GALAXY TR3 meter endpoints in the area.
The gateway uses a cellular or LAN network backhaul to forward metering data to the utility where the data can be used to better manage the utility's operation and provide important data for improved customer service and utility operations. The reading data management software (RDMS) manages this data transfer process and includes many tools and standard reports, as well as the ability to create user-defined reports.
License Requirements
This device complies with Part 15, section 247 as an unlicensed transmitter and as a Part 15 unintentional radiator.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC regulations, “Code of Federal Regulations” Title 47, Part 2, Subpart J, Section 1091, transmitters pass the requirements pertaining to RF radiation exposure. However, to avoid public exposure in excess of limits for general population (uncontrolled exposure), a 20-centimeter distance between the transmitter and the body of the user must be maintained during operation.
An FCC license is required to operate a GALAXY meter reading system.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Replacement Installation
REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION
If you are replacing an existing GALAXY gateway, review the following information before starting installation. You may be able to re-use the existing cable and power supply.
Cable and Power Supply
Existing Power Supply TR3 Gateway Power Supply
Gray power cable with 12V power supply (Figure 1)
15V DC power supply with 308 connector (Figure 2) or customer-supplied DC power source (see "CDMA or LAN with DC Power
Source" on page 20)
Existing gateway connects via LAN Replace the adapter with an ethernet cable. You cannot re-use the serial-to-LAN
Replace cable and power supply with the new power/communication cable provided with the GALAXY TR3 gateway. See "Chart A: WIRING THE GATEWAY WITH
NEW POWER/COMMUNICATION CABLE" on page 24.
You can re-use the existing cable and power supply but you must wire the M12 connector for the GALAXY TR3 gateway using the wiring diagram provided. See
"Chart B: WIRING THE GATEWAY RE-USING THE GALAXY 3.0/3.3 GATEWAY POWER/ COMMUNICATION CABLE" on page 24.
OTE:N The black cable does not wire directly to the board.

Mounting Hardware
MOUNTING HARDWARE
Gateway Backplate with Brackets
The backplate of the gateway receiver has a modular design consisting of three brackets—the TX/RX antenna bracket, mounting bracket and backhaul antenna bracket—joined together. When shipped, the three brackets are attached as shown in Figure 5. Together they make up the gateway backplate, which is attached to the gateway enclosure bracket. The brackets can be separated to provide additional mounting options. A description of each bracket starts on the next page.
