Note: This installation sheet is only for installation of the Sensus Model 510R2. For instructions on installing other AMR devices, please request and refer to the individual installation instruc- tion for those devices. The Model 510R2 MXU is designed for non pit, non submersible applications and is available for both a single port and dual port operation. The Model 510R2 can be mounted indoors or outdoors where it is not subject to submergence. The Model 510R2 is not intended for outdoor meter pits or vaults. The unit can be installed with either a TouchCoupler connection or wire connection. Please refer to AMR-326 for compatibility. 1. Sensus TouchPad 2. TouchPad Cover Assembly Complete 3.

1 Helen Zhao Subject: FW: Sensus Metering Systems, FCC ID: KCH510R2, Assessment NO.: AN06T6273, Notice# 1 510R2 conf.pdf510R2FCCreportRe v1.1.pdf From: Thomas Cokenias [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 6:46 AM To: Helen Zhao Subject: Re: Sensus Metering Systems, FCC ID: KCH510R2, Assessment NO.: AN06T6273, Notice#1 Hi Helen, All three questions answered below, answer follows question. best regards Tom Question #1: The test report (page 7) shows test data for FCC ID: KCH510RU. The confidentiality letter shows FCC ID: KCH510RU as well. The rest of the filing shows FCC ID: KCH510R2. Please clarify what is the correct FCC ID. ANS1 The correct FCC ID is KCH510R2. I have attached corrected test report and corrected confidentiality letter. Question #2: The limits listed on page 7 of the test report are confusing. If the compliance at 1.8GHz band was based on an RF conducted emission measurement, then the peak limit is 20dBc from fundamental, not the same as the fundamental. Please update the report. ANS2 I have corrected and clarified p7 to show the -20 dBc limit, as well as the FCC ID and model number. Question #3: The user manual does not contain RF exposure statement. Please update the user manual. ANS3 The following KDB responses indicate that for a very low duty cycle device such as this one (<1% in 6 minute time frame), no RFx information is required in user manual: This inquiry 840762 was inserted into Knowledge Database from an email sent directly to an FCC staff member. Please submit all future inquiries through this Knowledge Database system. Our original response in KDB 848176 was processed using our automated assignment method, where due to the original Inquiry Categories as registered it was not routed to staff members that normally prepare replies for RF exposure related matters. A supplemental response has been sent in KDB 848176. Due to the relatively low power and transmitting duty factor for certain types of utility meter transmitters, TCB and FCC application processing procedures were adjusted in May 2003 to forego listing separation distances on grant certificates for such fixed mounted 2 devices. Best regards Tom

Report No. 06PR049 Rev 1.1 FCC ID: KCH510R2 Sensus Metering Systems Sensus 510R2 Meter Transmitter Unit 1 of 56 900MHz DTS EMISSIONS TEST REPORT FOR A LOW POWER TRANSMITTER I. GENERAL INFORMATION Requirement: Federal Communications Commissions Test Requirements: 15.205, 15.207, 15.209, 15.247 Applicant: Sensus Metering Systems FCC ID: KCH510R2 II. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) The Sensus Model 510R2 MXU (Meter Transceiver Unit) FCC ID: KCH510R2 IC: 2220A-510R2 is a Radio Frequency transceiver unit operating under CFR47 Part 15 of the FCC rules. The Model 510R2 incorporates a part 15.247 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Transmitter operating in the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band, and a Part 15 AM Receiver operating in the 952 or 956 MHz MAS bands. The MXU uses spread spectrum techniques for remote water meter reading. The 510R2 will be used for non water pit applications (i.e. side of the house installations). The product transmits meter readings to a vehicle mounted or hand-held mobile data collection devices. The product receives a wake-up signal from the licensed transmitter in the mobile collection system; the 510R2 spread spectrum transmitter sends short bursts of data. A lithium battery powers the EUT; the battery has an expected life of 20 years. Transmitter Specification TX Power 24.37 dBm max. Frequency of operation 904.6-925.4 MHz Data Rate 15.625 Kbps in <50ms burst 6 dB bandwidth 1.2 MHz Power source lithium battery Software/firmware version: 2R105271 III.

The EUT was placed on a wooden table resting on a turntable on the test site. A water meter was connected to the appropriate ports as a typical load. The search antenna was placed 3m from the EUT. The EUT antenna was mounted vertically as per normal installation. 2. The turntable was slowly rotated to locate the direction of maximum emission at each emission falling in the restricted bands of 15.205. Report No. 06PR049 Rev 1.1 FCC ID: KCH510R2 Sensus Metering Systems Sensus 510R2 Meter Transmitter Unit 6 of 56 900MHz DTS 3. Radiated emissions were investigated for a LOW channel, a MID channel, and HIGH channel. Emissions were investigated to the 10 th harmonic. 4. Once maximum direction was determined, the search antenna was raised and lowered in both vertical and horizontal polarizations. The maximum readings so obtained are recorded in the data listed below. Test Results: Worst case results are presented. Refer to data sheets below. Restricted band emissions meet 54 dBuV/m. Other undesired emissions from the transmitter meet the -20 dBc requirement in 15.247(c). All emissions not reported were more than 20 dB below limits or were below noise floor of measuring system.
