1 Introduction
Arctic AMR is an intelligent GPRS modem device for AMR connectivity. The
device has an integrated 1/3 phase AC power supply and GPRS connectivity.
Intended audience for this manual are engineers and technical staff planning
and commissioning the devices to field operations.
1.1 Safety Operation
Warning!
The device uses lethal voltages. Carefully read through all the instructions
in this manual and follow local safety regulations. Device must not be
operated when back panel is removed. Voltage inside the device is extremely
dangerous and may cause death or severe injury.
