Carlson Director of Engineering NARTE EMC-000921-NE 2 TEST SUMMARY AND RESULTS The EUT (Equipment Under Test) is a Wireless Meter Reading System, Model Y72693-1, manufactured by ACLARA POWER-LINE SYSTEMS. The detailed test results are presented in a separate section. The following is a summary of the test results. Environmental Phenomena Frequency Range FCC Section RSS-210 Section Test Result Radiated Emissions (Spurious & Fundamental) 30-9300 MHz 15.249 Annex 7 Pass AC Conducted Emissions 0.15-30 MHz 15.249 6.6 Pass 2.1 RF Exposure Compliance Requirements Since the power output is less than 1 mW, the EUT meets the FCC requirement for RF exposure and it is exempt from RSS-102. There are no power level adjustments and the antenna is permanently attached as a PCB trace. 3 EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) DETAILS 3.1 EUT Description The EUT is a Wireless Meter Reading System, Model Y72693-1, manufactured by ACLARA POWER- LINE SYSTEMS. The EUT was in good working condition during the tests, with no known defects.
