The modular design enables GE and Sensus to locate the transceiver in several standard S form meters retailed to Utilities through GE and Sensus. Manufacturer Information: Sensus Metering Systems, Inc. 639 Davis Drive Morrisville, NC 27560 Test Sample Serial Numbers: 1011 (RF Conducted Measurements), 1021 (Radiated Emission Measurements) Test Sample Condition: The EUT was in good functional condition with no physical damages. 1.3 Test Methodology 1.3.1 Configurations and Justification The EUT was evaluated for radiated and RF conducted measurements for all modulations formats. Where applicable, data is provided for the worst case. The unit is designed to be integrated within specific hosts. The EUT was powered using an external power source providing 4 VDC for the basic operation of the radio and an additional 23 VDC for continuous transmission. The RF conducted measurements were performed for the EUT configured with a temporary SMA connector at the antenna port. The radiated emission evaluation was performed for the EUT set in the orientation of typical installation up to the 10 th harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The evaluation for unintentional emission is documented separately in a verification report.
