CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
This chapter contains an overview of the Cellnet network and the module.
SAFETY OVERVIEW
Prior to starting the installation process, you must develop and launch an installer
safety training plan for initial, refresher and ongoing safety training. Ensure that
installers receive appropriate initial and refresher training to meet their specific
safety‐related responsibilities. You must provide safety training when

Previously unidentified risks are reported.
The installation supervisory team assumes responsibility for ensuring that
installers are properly trained, authorized, and continually qualified to perform
their work. The team must also take responsibility for the safety of their installers
and to assure safe work methodologies. Installers must understand that their
supervisorʹs responsibility does not relieve them from their individual
responsibility to perform the work safely and to follow all safety rules and
procedures applicable to their work.

ABOUT THE CELLNET NETWORK
The Cellnet Automated Meter Infrastructure (AMI) network transfers
information from a number of endpoints, usually distributed over a large
geographical area to a back‐end host. The most common endpoints are from
electrical, gas and water meters. The network includes a Radio Frequency (RF)
Wide Area Network (WAN) and an RF Local Area Network (LAN). The WAN
includes Take Out Points (TOPs), repeaters, and concentrators. The LAN is the
radio frequency (RF) link between the concentrator and Cellnet endpoints.

2‐way endpoints transmit data via RF to UtiliNet network radios, which pass
data via RF to the TOP. The TOP sends data to the utility via Ethernet.
