Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference, and • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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 limits are designed to provide reason- able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help. U WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 22 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. ` Cet équipement est conforme aux limites FCC/IC d'exposition aux radiations définies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance minimale de 22cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. Cet émetteur ne doit pas être coimplantés ou exploités en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur. Requirement for Modular Certification Comms Host board is approved for use with the stamped metal PIFA, peak gain 0 dBi. Antenna types that are different or a having higher gain than the maximum indicated for that type, are prohibited for use with this device. Comms Host is not available as a standalone product, it is only approved for use in Landis+Gyr products and not intended for sale to 3 rd party integrators. Additional Testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer The end product with Comms Host board may also need to pass the FCC Part 1…

The confidentiality request applies to the System Block Diagram, Schematics, Parts List, and Theory of Operation contained in this filing. The “Comms Host” has been developed at considerable effort and expense by Landis+Gyr Technology, Inc. These items are considered as Trade Secrets and therefore public access to the proprietary material could possibly result in duplication of equipment that could severely damage the company's business advantage. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

30000 Mill Creek Avenue, Suite 100 | Alpharetta, GA 30022 Tel: +1 678 258 1637 | Fax: +1 678 258 1681 To: File From: James L. Stortz Subject: Comms Host, FCC ID: R7PNG0R1S6 Limited Modular Approval Request January 28, 2020 Scope 47CFR 15.212 communicates requirements for products requesting modular approval. In particular, eight requirements are enumerated along with a request that each of the eight be explained for any product requesting such approval. It is the purpose of this document to respond to those eight requirements in regard to the Landis+Gyr product: Comms Host. Modular Approval Requirements 1.1 RF Shielding The Comms Host module is self-shielding and is not dependent on any component or characteristic of the device into which it is embedded. Shielding is accomplished through a combination of metallic self-shielding components, copper planes, guards, and vias in the PCB. The result is a design that has been proven to be neither sensitive to outside influence nor capable of introducing interference into outside components. 1.2 Buffered Modulation / Data Inputs The Comms Host module does not have external modulation or data inputs. Rather, the RF sections are driven by an on-board microprocessor which directly controls the RF data lines and operates so as to not allow excessive modulation. 1.3 Power Supply Regulation The Comms Host module uses a linear, low-dropout regulator to provide all the electronics with a supply that is fixed, even when the input voltage is varied. 1.4 Antenna Requirement The Comms Host module utilizes a 0dBi Inverted-F antenna. 1.5 Stand-Alone Testing All testing on the Comms Host module was conducted standalone. No shields or enclosures were used, other than those fully integrated into the modules themselves. No ferrites were used on data or power lines during testing. These devices are DC powered and exceed applicable conducted emission requirements. 1.6 Labeling As indicated, each Comms Host module will have its own FCC ID label. In addition, devices into which they are placed will have labels indicating that this module is contained within. Exact text will be as specified in 47CFR 15.212. 1.7 Specific Rules and Operating Requirements The Comms Host module complies with all pertinent rules for its section. 1.8 RF Exposure Requirements The Comms Host module complies with all exposure requirements. As a component used in the Utility industry, this product is not intended for use near human operators. Sincerely, James L. Stortz Title: Director of Hardware Engineering
