The E-Reg offers maximum register resolution, a multitude of standard features, on-board datalogging and a variety of AMR and SCADA output options, including an embedded T2 M2w AMR radio. The E-Reg is designed for all environments and incorporates the largest battery available for AMR/utility applications. The E-Reg can be deployed on any Metron Spectrum or Enduro model and can be configured for USG, Ft3 or m3 billing units. Register Features - 8-digit Display with Configurable Decimal Point - Total or Flowrate Display - Test Mode for Meter Testing - Measuring Unit Indication - Flowrate Unit Indication - Forward & Reverse Flowrate Indication - Permanent “Under-Glass” ID Label w/Barcode Options Embedded Spread Spectrum Radio w/Integral Antenna (shown above) 3-Wire AMR (C-D-G) Output Pulse (switch) Output SCADA (4-20mA) Output Valve Control (switch) Output OVERVIEW 2 1 E-Reg Packaging The E-Reg is housed in a polycarbonate shell with multiple levels of waterproofing. The housing is assembled with a UV- cure adhesive which provides the first level of environmental protection. The register and radio electronics are 100% encapsulated in a dielectric gel for 100% moisture protection. Finally, all cable entry/exit points are sealed with gel grommets to protect against long- term moisture penetration. The product label indicates a model number with a corresponding the FCC identifier. E-Reg E-Reg-R 3 1 Basic Specifications Materials Inner Housing: Polycarbonate UV-protected Sealing: Self-Healing Dielectric Gel Environmental Temperature: –4 o F to +176 o F –20 o C to +80 o C Humidity Range: 100% (waterproof) Rating: IP68 (Fully submersible) Battery: Replaceable 19.0 A-hr D-cell Battery Life: Up to 15 years Optional Embedded M2w Radio Transmission: One-Way Config/Datalogging: Two-Way (unregulated) Regulatory: FCC 15.247 4 1 E-Reg LCD Display 1 2 Installation The E-Reg is designed for all environments and can be installed either in indoor or outdoor environments. The register is attached to the Metron water meter with a plastic housing as shown below. INSTALLATION & WIRING 2 2 Step 1 Fit the E-Reg inside the bottom housing as shown. The tabs will keep the E-Reg from slipping downward. Step 2 Place the top housing over the E-Reg and press downward until the top housing clicks into place. 3 2 Step 3 Start the screw into the separate slide crimp as shown below. The slide crimp will secure the bottom and top housings together. Do not fully tighten the screw at this point. Step 4 Place the E-Reg assembly on the water meter. Any MP3 or MP5 meter will have either a brass or plastic register plate for the attachment. 4 2 Step 5 Once the E-Reg assembly is loosely attached to the water meter, continue tightening the screw. The tightening will contract the bottom housing so the assembly is securely attached to the water meter. 5 2 Radio Option The E-Reg can be supplied with a optional M2w radio (E-Reg-R). This radio will be fully embedded within the E-Reg housing. The antenna is an integral circuit board that extends approximately 1 inch above the face of the E-Reg. There are no connections or wiring for the embedded M2w radio. 6 2 1 3 To be completed OPERATION 1 4 The E-Reg has a battery with an anticipated battery life of 15 years . Battery Specifications Mfg: Vitzrocell Type: Thionyl Lithium Chloride Size: D-cell Capacity: 19.0 A-hr Battery Life All battery calculations include a environmental impact factor and use a baseline of regular function usage (PDA reads, datalogging, etc.) With the optional M2w radio, the E- Reg’s transmit period is directly related to the battery life of the radio. The RF transmission is the largest power consumer and thus drives battery life. Check with Transparent Technologies for a detailed battery life calculation based on specific configurations. BATTERY 1 6 FCC Information Information to user. - The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Special accessories. (a) Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors, are required to enable an unintentional or intention…

Transparent Technologies, Inc. 5665 Airport Blvd Boulder, CO 80301 www.transparenttech.com • Provide a statement for how your device Complies with FCC15.203 Antenna requirement: An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of §§15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221. Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with §15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded. E-Reg-R: The integral antenna is etched on the printed circuit board and is permanently attached via solder to the E-Reg PCA. The primary PCA and the integral antenna PCB are encased within a permanently sealed and potted plastic enclosure.
