5015 B.U. Bowman Drive Buford, GA 30518 USA Voice: 770-831-8048 Fax: 770-831-8598 FCC Part 15 Subpart C Transmitter Certification Test Report FCC ID: SJS-380101WM FCC Rule Part: 15.249 ACS Report Number: 05-0301-15C Manufacturer: MARS Company Model: 380101WM Installation Guide MARS SmartRadio Installation Guide To ensure proper connection and resistance to water intrusion a waterproof butt splice is required to connect the SmartTransmitter to the meter register. The recommended type of connector is a Scotchlok™ connector. This type of connector is ideal because it provides a good mechanical connection of the wires and a waterproofing gel that inhibits water ingress. This device is designed to be installed at or above ground level outside of buildings and meter pits. Professional installation by factory trained personnel is required for proper use and reliable communication.

Refer to the table above for wiring color codes. 2. While holding the Scotchlok™ connector with the button facing down, insert un-stripped wires fully into connector. 3. Once seated, use a crimper and firmly squeeze the connector until you hear a snap and gel seeps out of the end of the connector. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other two pairs of wires and test to ensure the SmartTransmitter is transmitting properly. Information to the User FCC Class B: “NOTE: 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 reasonable 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. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.” Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by MARS Company could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radiofrequency fields, the radiating element shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between it and the user or general population. Industry Canada All Equipment: This Class [*] digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [*] répond à toutes les exigences de l'interférence canadienne causant des règlements d'équipement. L'opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l'interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n'importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris l'interférence qui peut causer l'opération peu désirée.

A SUBSIDIARY OF FLOYD S. SALSER, JR. & ASSOCIATES Federal Communications Commission January 16, 2006 Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Gentlemen: Floyd S. Salser, Jr. and Assoc. (DBA: MARS Company) respectfully requests confidentiality of certain materials provided with the submission of the SmartTransmitter under FCC ID: SJS-380101WM in accordance with FCC Regulations 0.459. The confidentiality request applies to: 1. System block diagram 2. Schematic drawings 3. Bills of materials and parts lists 4. Theory of operation The SmartRF has been developed at considerable effort and expense by MARS Company. 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. Sincerely, Jason Pintok AMR Products Manager

The chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is 101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber. The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit.
