The label affixed to this equipment contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. Upon request, you must provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you can connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To determine the number of devices your can connect to your line in your calling area—as determined by the REN—contact your local telephone company. The following jacks must be ordered from the telephone company to interconnect this prod- uct with the public communication network: RJ31. If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Com- pany can discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or proce- dures that could affect the proper function of your equipment. If they do, you will be noti- fied in advance. You will then have an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. If you have trouble with this equipment, please contact us at the address below for informa- tion on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. This product is not field-repairable; however, the maintenance section of this manual described troubleshooting steps that you can take in the even of equipment problems.This equipment can not be used on coin service lines provided by the telephone company. Connections to party lines are subject to state tariffs. Contact your local telephone com- pany if you plan to use this equipment on party lines. The installation of this product does not require any connections or changes to the internal wiring of other registered terminal equipment. FCC Part 15, Class B This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. 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: 1Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 3Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. D r a f t ivSENTINEL Meter Technical Reference Guide 4Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) The device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including the inter- ference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation requirements for controlled environ- ments. To maintain compliance with these requirements, the antenna and any radiating ele- ments should be installed to ensure that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained from the general population. 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.…

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.
