SENSUS CONFIDENTIAL FlexNet Activation Instructions: ƒ Power up the FlexNet 900 Tool unit by pressing the power button. ƒ The GPS LINK OK led will begin flashing RED at a 1Hz rate. ƒ Carry the unit outside in an area free from overhead obstructions so that the unit can acquire a GPS position fix. (This takes approximately 1~2 minutes) ƒ Once the unit has acquired a current GPS fix, the GPS LINK OK led will light solid green. (The light may blink green if the tool temporarily loses a GPS position fix if the tool is brought indoors or there is significant overhead obstructions) ƒ Once a GPS fix has been acquired, place the tool against the side of the GCVTF unit as shown in the picture above. The CT should be facing down, and the tool should be placed on the right side of the unit with the “COMMAND METER” text pointing toward the center of the Visual Line Status Indicator (VLI). ƒ Press the INSTALL METER button to begin the activation sequence. ƒ The sequence is complete when the METER INSTALL OK light illuminates GREEN indicating a successful install. (This process should take approximately 30 seconds) The following document and its attachments are considered proprietary and confidential and the Property of Sensus Metering Systems Inc.

Federal Communications Commission Date 3-19-07 Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Gentlemen: Sensus Metering Systems respectfully requests confidentiality of certain materials provided with the submission of the GCVTF under FCC ID: SDBCPRLM01 in accordance with FCC Regulations 0.459. The confidentiality request applies to the following exhibits: • 07-0126 - Schematics • 07-0126 – Parts List • 07-0126 - Theory of Operation • 07-0126 – Block Diagram • 07-0126 – Tune Up Procedure • 07-0126 – Internal Photos Confidentiality of the internal photographs is requested based on the fact this product is a non-consumer device and is not accessible by the general public. It is only serviceable by the licensee or his designated technicians. The GCVTF has been developed at considerable effort and expense by Sensus Metering Systems. 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.

This board contains the power supply, transmitter, and line monitor circuitry. The unit has an external permanently attached antenna with the following specifications: Center Freq. 916MHz Bandwidth 80MHz Wavelength 1/2-wave VSWR <1.9 typ. at center Impedance 50 ohms Gain 0.44dBi Connection RG-178 coax Polarization Vertical The device will be powered via a Current Transformer (CT) fed into the housing which has a spring loaded clamp that allows it to easily attach to existing power lines. A minimally sized AA lithium battery will be included to facilitate installation transmission and transmissions during power outages. The device communicates via the Sensus fixed wireless telemetry network to provide line status information to utilities. The device will transmit status (Health) information automatically at a programmable periodic rate and also when triggered by specific events such as a change of sensor status such as a high current event called a fault. 1.3 Test Methodology 1.3.1 In-Band Testing Methodology For testing in accordance with 47 CFR 2.1046-2.1057, OET/Lab recommends that the following be used to select test frequencies for licensed devices: Frequency range over which device operates Number of frequencies Location in the range of operation 1 MHz or less 1 Middle 1 to 10 MHz 2 1 near top and 1 near bottom 10 to 100 MHz 3 1 near top, 1 near middle and 1 near bottom Model: GCVTF FCC ID: SDBCPRLM01 ACS Report: 07-0126-LD Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 4 The GCVTF is designed to operate in multiple bands under the requirements of CFR 47 Parts 24, 90, and 101. The following is a list of the frequency bands of operation sorted based on the FCC rule parts in which the band is associated. CFR Title 47 Rule Part Frequency Band of Operation (MHz) 24D 901.0 - 902.0 24D 930.0 - 931.0 24D 940.0 - 941.0 90 896.0125 - 901.0 90 935.0 - 940.0 101 928.85 - 929.0 101 932.0 - 932.5 101 941.0 - 941.5 101 959.85 - 960.0 Based on the requirements set forth in accordance 47 CFR 2.1046-2.1057 as stated above, the methodology in selecting the places to test in the available bands of operation is outlined in the following table. CFR Title 47 Rule Part Frequency Band of Operation (MHz) Location in the Range of Operation 90 896.0125 - 901.0 24D 901.0 - 902.0 1 near top and 1 near bottom 101 928.85 - 929.0 Middle 24D 930.0 - 931.0 Middle 101 932.0 - 932.5 Middle 90 935.0 - 940.0 24D 940.0 - 941.0 101 941.0 - 941.5 1 near top and 1 near bottom 101 959.85 - 960.0 Middle The data provided in this report is sorted based on the rule part. 1.4 Emission Designators The GCVTF transmitter produces four distinct modulation formats. The necessary bandwidth calculations for these formats may be found in a separate document. The emissions designators for the four modulation types used by the GCVTF Transmitter are as follows: EMISSIONS DESIGNATORS: Normal Mode: 9K60F2D Half-Baudrate Mode: 4K80F2D Boost Mode: 1K10F2D MPass Mode: 5K90F1D Model: GCVTF FCC ID: SDBCPRLM01 ACS Report: 07-0126-LD Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 5 2.0 TEST FACILITIES 2.1 …
