These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential/ commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 SchlumbergerSema 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 Sales Representative for assistance. Repair of Meters Not Under Warranty The same procedure as above applies. SchlumbergerSema will charge for the necessary repairs based on the failure. Service Return Address SchlumbergerSema Customer Repair Department 313 North Highway 11 Dock C West Union, SC 29696 ATTENTION The product you have purchased contains a battery (or batteries), circuit boards, and switches. The batteries are recyclable. At the end of the meter’s useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of certain components into the municipal waste system. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or proper disposal. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.

A separate filing under the same FCC ID will be made under 15.249 of the rules. 1.2 Product Description The ICARe will be a transmit-only meter module that collects and transmits metering data over the 902 - 928 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) RF band. The unit will contain both a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmitter and a Low Power Frequency Hopping (FSK) transmitter. The ICARe functions as a RF transmitter that will support remote meter reading using both the mobile and the fixed network protocols. The mobile network functions will be the R300 (ITRON™ protocol) or the R900 (SURF© protocol). The fixed network function will be the CellNet© electricity endpoint protocol (PID2) to maintain legacy functionality. The endpoint will be installed in the CENTRON meter as the register board. The metrology board will provide power and energy data to the endpoint in the same manner as a normal register board. The endpoint will provide the following data depending on configuration: • Cumulative energy readings using the ITRON protocol • Cumulative energy readings using the Schlumberger SURF protocol • Cumulative and interval readings using the SchlumbergerSema CellNet protocol The endpoint will be able to transmit a combination of the fixed and one of the two mobile protocols in a deployment to support the ‘Agile’ network or any single protocol above based on the configuration loaded. The endpoint will determine electrical energy data by counting pulses from the metrology board and then converting them to energy values for display and transmission. The endpoint will use a constant loaded during configuration to provide the correct energy values for the network being supported. The endpoint will also use a serial protocol for configuration and testing using the register serial port. It is also necessary for the endpoint to be able to be installed on previous meter bases with no modifications to the base to maintain the modularity requirement of the CENTRON meter. Detailed photographs of the EUT are filed separately with this filing. Model: CENTRON ™ ICARe FCC ID: FC9CC1SA ACS Report: 03-0248-15C Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 4 1.2.1 Intended Use The CENTRON ™ ICARe is intended to be installed on a residential or commercial structure to record electricity usage and transmit the data to either utility personnel or to a nearby base station depending on which radio is active. Only one radio will ever be active at any given time. If the meter is configured for remote meter data collection by a utility meter reader, the low power radio will be activated. If the meter is configured for base station data collection the higher power direct sequence radio will be activated. The radios are configured at the factory and cannot be activated by the end user or utility personnel. 2.0 LOCATION OF TEST FACILTY All testing was performed by qualified ACS personnel located at the following address: ACS, Inc. 5015 B.U.
