The Cello 6S enclosure is only to be cleaned using clean water and a clean cloth. Do not use any solvent(s) or
detergent(s) as these may adversely affect the integrity of the enclosure.
Lithium battery packs / cells

Use only battery packs specifically approved by Technolog for use with Cello 6S 'water'. Store battery packs / cells in
their original packaging, do not store in direct sun light, do not store on or close to bare metal, avoid short circuiting cells
/ battery packs and do not make contact with the terminals.
Under normal conditions lithium battery packs / cells are safe however they must be handled and treated with care. Do
not mistreat or abuse battery packs / cells. Do not drop, open, puncture, heat, attempt to recharge, expose contents to
water, dispose of in fire or short circuit battery packs / cells. Do not weld or solder to the cell body. Mistreated battery
packs / cells can cause fire or explosion and are potentially a severe burn hazard. The cell contents are harmful by
ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, cause headache, dizziness, nausea and prolonged exposure may result in liver
damage whilst the vapour is narcotic in high concentrations.
Spent batteries must not be disposed of as unsorted municiple waste but collected separately in order to allow correct
environmentally sound treatment and recycling. Where possible battery packs / cells should be returned either to
Technolog or their authorised agents however where this is not possible, prior to disposal your local waste disposal
authority should be contacted regarding any regulations in force at the time concerning waste disposal procedures in
relation to lithium / thionyl chloride inorganic electrolyte battery packs / cells. Refer to the cell manufacturer's "Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)" information, available from Technolog, for further details of cell safe use and
disposal guidelines.
Disposal / end of life

The Cello 6S is electrical / electronic equipment and as such, at end of life, it must not be disposed of as unsorted
municiple waste but collected separately in order to allow correct and environmentally sound treatment and recycling.
Where possible Cello 6S should be returned either to Technolog or their authorised agents however where this is not
possible, prior to disposal your local waste disposal authority should be contacted regarding any regulations in force at the
time concerning waste disposal procedures in relation to waste electrical and / electronic equipment. Refer also to

Installation: Standard connections - Optional external antenna
An 'SMA' jack socket is optionally provided for the connection of an external cellular mobile telecommunications network
antenna. Where this socket is fitted the Cello 6S does not feature an internal antenna therefore in order to facility remote
communications an external antenna must be fitted.
Only an external antenna specifically approved by Technolog for use with Cello 6S, and taking into account the intended
application / site, should be connected. Contact Technolog for further infomation and details of antennas that are already
approved for use with Cello 6S.
Use of any un-approved external antenna with Cello 6S could lead to a potentially dangerous situation and as such will
invalidate all applicable warranties.
The external antenna should be located as high up as possible and, where practical, away from metal structures
although in order to determine optimal Cello 6S performance a signal strength test should be performed (as detailed in
the "Installation: Commissioning" section of this document) with the antenna being moved around until the strongest
signal strength is obtained although be aware that it may not be physically possible to locate the antenna in the perfect
location.
Refer also to the "Considerations: Installation" and "Considerations: Environment" sections of this document.

Drill two holes in the
positions indicated to
take 'Rawl' plugs,or
similar, suitable for
M5 x 25mm, or
equivalent, screws.
70mm minimum
110 mm mounting hole centres
Notes
1) Where the Cello 6S does not feature an external antenna connector, i.e. it only has an internal antenna, then it
should be positioned as high up as possible and, where practical, away from metal structures. In order to determine
optimal Cello 6S performance a signal strength test should be perfomed (as detailed in the "Installation:
Commissioning - Cello 6 Wizard: Signal strength" section of this manual) with the Cello 6S being moved around until
the strongest signal strength is obtained although be aware that it may not be physically possible to locate it in the
perfect location.
2) Although a minimum dimension is provided for the distance of the mounting holes from any overhanging
obstruction(s), where it is required that the enclosure lid is removable with the Cello 6S remaining in place, for
example to allow for battery or SIM card replacement, then this minimum dimension will need to increase to at least
170mm.
3) Refer also to the "Considerations: Installation" and "Considerations: Environment" sections of this document.

Installation: Mounting on pipes / poles
Secure the enclosure to the pipe

using a cable tie(s) of sufficient
length to allow it to be looped
around the pipe and through the
integral enclosure mounting lugs
The Cello 6S enclosure

features moulded pipe
locator recesses to allow
it to be positioned
centrally on pipework or
similar.
Pipe should not be carrying

electrical cables, have a
surface temperature below
50vC and have a diameter
in the range 22mm to 200mm
(best fit on 22mm)

Ravenstor Road,
DE4 4FY,
Installation: Boundary box
Where it is required that the Cello 6S is located in a 'boundary'

type box, the Cello 6S must first be mounted in a suitable
'cradle'. For illustration purposes an Atlantic Plastics (ATPLAS)
"MeterBox" and associated Technolog 2137TT6000 mounting
bracket are shown.
Where it is required that Cello 6S be fitted in another

'boundary' box then there must be a central orifice with a
diameter of not less than 135mm, a depth from the rim of the
orifice to the bottom of the box of not less than 120mm and a
height from the rim of the orifice to the underside of the
boundary box lid of not les than 20mm.
Please contact Technolog where Cello 6S is required to fit in

boundary boxes other than that shown.
Cello 6S secured
in place using M5
screws and self-
locking nuts
Note
Where the Cello 6S does not feature an external antenna

connector, i.e. it only has an internal antenna, then it
should be positioned as high up as possible in the
boundary box and, where practical, away from metal
structures. Ideally before siting the boundary box, in order
to determine the optimal location for Cello 6S remote
communications a signal strength test should be
performed (as detailed in the "Installation: Commissioning
- Cello 6 Wizard: Signal strength" section of this manual)
with the Cello 6S being moved around until the strongest
signal strength is obtained. However be aware that it may
not be physically possible to locate it in the perfect
location.

Installation: Security sealing
The Cello 6S enclosure has been designed in two halves; the main body and a removeable lid. As per "Features" section
of this manual, the main body houses the circuit board, internal antenna, SIM card and replaceable battery pack.
Temporarily removing the lid allows access to the battery pack and SIM card.
As standard the lid is fastened to the body with two M5 tamper-proof pin hex socket screws.
Tamper-proof screws
Additionally the two halves of the enclosure also feature pre-drilled holes that allow for the fitting of one, or more, security
seal 'tags' to prevent the lid being seperated from the body without first breaking the seal(s).
