However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna. •Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. •Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. 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 FCC Part 15, Subpart C When equipped with a radio transmitter option, this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an intentional radiator, pursuant to Part 15, Subpart C of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause interference to radio communications. The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a resi- dential situation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic- ular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception. which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the affected radio or television. •Increase the separation between the equipment and the affected receiver. •Connect the equipment and the affected receiver to power outlets on separate circuits. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Schlumberger Resource Management Services, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. iv Factory Repair of Meters SchlumbergerSema recommends that all repairs be performed at the factory. Certain repairs may be performed by the user; however, unauthorized repairs will void any existing war- ranty. All surface mounted parts must be replaced by the factory. Repair of Meters Under Warranty If the meter is under warranty, then SchlumbergerSema will repair the meter at no charge if the meter has failed due to components or workmanship. A return authorization number must be obtained before the equipment can be sent back to the factory. Contact your SchlumbergerSema RMS Sales Representative for assistance.

Bowman Drive Buford, GA 30518 2.1 DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY Radiated and conducted emissions were conducted at an ACS facility specifically prepared for this testing. Both sites have been fully described and submitted to, and accepted by the FCC and Industry Canada. FCC registration number 89450 and Industry Canada Lab Code IC 4175 have been assigned in recognition of the sites. Both sites are also in conformance with publication CISPR16. 2.1.1 Open Area Test Site The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro-plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity. The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4" diamond style re-enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel ground plane, however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in ANSI C63.4.
