HCQ3B6ETPMTSubmetering Transmitter

© 2005 Inovonics Wireless - www.inovonicswireless.com ES1501/EN1501-XL EchoStream ® TapWatch ® Transmitter Installation and Operation Manual - 04590A 1 Overview Connected to pulse-output meters being used for multi-family submetering, the ES1501 and EN1501-XL transmitters will transmit data to an RF receiver that is connected to a Data Concentrator and Communicator (DCC-5800). The ES1501 includes a replaceable battery; the EN1501-XL includes a long- life battery that is not replaceable. 1.1 Inovonics Wireless Contact Information If you have any problems with this procedure, contact Inovonics Wireless technical services: • E-mail: [email protected] • Phone: (800) 782-2709; (303) 939-9336 1.2 ES1501/EN1501-XL Components Figure 1 ES1501/EN1501-XL Components 2 Installation and Startup 2.1 Connect Transmitter to Meter Connect the transmitter to the meter as follows: 1. Open the housing by pressing down on the base tab near the wiring thru-hole while lifting away the cover. 2. Fully insert stripped wires into the removable header terminal. 3. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure wires to the removable header terminal. 4. Attach removable header terminal (if removed) to the transmitter board as shown. Note: If connecting to a meter that has polarity to its pulse output, the negative (—) should be connected to the outside terminal, closest to the corner of the board. Figure 2 Connect the Transmitter to the Meter 2.2 Select Frequency Band If you are using either transmitter anywhere except North America, you will need to select the frequency band for your geographic area. If you are using the transmitter in North America, there is no need to select the frequency band. All transmitters are set for North America by default. Select Frequency Band on the ES1501 1. Place the selection jumper included in the accessory pack on the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Figure 1). • Leave the jumper off the pins to select 902-928 MHz for North America. • Place the jumper on the left two pins to select 921-928 MHz for New Zealand. • Place the jumper on the middle two pins to select 868-869 MHz for Europe. • Place the jumper on the right two pins to select 915-928 MHz for Australia. Select Frequency Band on the EN1501-XL 1. Place the selection jumper included in the accessory pack on the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Figure 1). • Leave the jumper off the pins to select 902-928 MHz for North America. • Place the jumper on the left two pins to select 921-928 MHz for New Zealand. • The selection marked EU is non-functional on the EN1501- XL. Do not select the middle two pins. • Place the jumper on the right two pins to select 915-928 MHz for Australia. 2.3 Mount the Transmitter 1. Use the double-sided tape to mount the transmitter to a clean wall. 2. If installing the ES1501, the transmitter can be secured a wall with the mounting screw and anchor. Remove the battery to access the mounting screw hole; press the reset button after replacing the battery. A. Battery (ES1501- style battery shown) B. Tamper switchC. Removable header terminal D.

Figure 3 Mount the Transmitter 2.4 Register the Transmitter Note: See “Programming the PMT-Meter Pair” in TapWatch User Manual for more information. 1. Confirm that transmitter is connected to the meter. 2. Confirm that the battery is installed. 3. Go to the “Registered Meters” tab of the Site Information editor. 4. Click “Add” on the “Registered Meters” page; confirm selected building. 5. Complete the “Add New Meter To...” form when it appears. 6. Click the “Register” button. 7. When prompted, press the reset button on the transmitter; wait for confirmation. 3 Replace the Battery (ES1501 Only) When the low battery message is received, you will need to replace the ES1501 battery. 1. Open the housing by pressing down on the base tab near the wiring thru-hole while lifting away the cover. 2. Remove the old battery, taking note of the battery orientation. 3. Insert the new battery, making sure it is aligned correctly. 4. Press the reset button. Note: ES1501 transmitters retain programming data in non- volatile memory. They do not require reprogramming after loss of power. Install new battery and press the transmitter reset button to re-initialize the transmitter and restore programming. Its count will go to zero and the initial Meter Read count will be updated in the DCC. 4 Specifications Dimensions: 3.57" x 1.70" x 0.85" Operating environment: 0°- 60°C (32°- 140°F), 90% relative humidity, non-condensing Typical battery life: ES1501: 5 years at 70 to 90°F (20 to 30°C). Higher temperatures reduce battery life. EN1501-XL: calculated battery life of 20 years at 70 to 90°F (20 to 30°C). Higher temperatures reduce battery life. ES1501 Battery (BAT604): 3.0V lithium (DL123A) The battery is always supervised. 5 Warranty/Disclaimer Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Inovonics Wireless Corporation may void the installer's authority to operate the equipment as well as the product warranty.

Testing was performed in 3 different orthogonal axis to determine the worst case emissions from the device. The worst case emissions measurements are shown in this report. FCC CFR47 Part 15.31: Measurement Standards: In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. FCC CFR47 Part 15.35: Measurement Detector Functions and Bandwidths: FCC Part 15.35 was utilized when performing the measurements within this report. This test report is in-part, Intertek, ETL Semko was asked to test only the field strength of the fundamental and harmonics as well as the unintentional radiated emissions and conducted emissions when applicable. This report covers two models of the same family of products. Intentional emissions, fundamental and harmonics, was completed on each unit separately. Unintentional emissions were completed on the two units at the same time.

FCC ID: HCQ3B6ETPMT ES1501 12. Test Report Additional Information The test report containing intentional/unintentional emissions data is attached as “3090365-1.pdf”. Intertek ETL Semko labs generated this report. Additional data demonstrating compliance with 47CFR15.247 follows. For the following measurements, the antenna was replaced by a coaxial connection to an HP8594E spectrum analyzer. Minimum Channel Separation: Plot 1 is a spectrum plot showing a minimum channel separation of 810 kHz. Compliance with section 15.247(a)(1) is demonstrated by capturing several transmissions over a small portion of the 902-928 MHz ISM band. Plot 1: Demonstration of channel spacing requirement. FCC ID: HCQ3B6ETPMT ES1501 Number of hopping Channels: Plot 2 demonstrates compliance with 15.247(a)(1)(i) — Number of hopping channels. This is a stored display of many sequential transmissions to show the overall band occupied by the transmitter Plot 2: Demonstration of 25 hopping channels. 20 dB bandwidth of a single channel: Plot 3 shows the 20 dB bandwidth of a single channel to demonstrate compliance with 15.247(a)(1)(i). The 20 dB occupied bandwidth is 261 kHz. Plot 3: Demonstration of occupied bandwidth.
