Introduction The Allegro cellular PIT Module is a battery-operated radio module designed for automated water meter reading. The Allegro cellular is capable of reading water consumption data from residential and commercial water meters equipped with an Encoder or Solid-State Register. It uses CAT-M cellular radio for relaying water consumption data to the utility.

Fasten the PIT Module to the Pit-Set Lid using the fixing nut provided, Figure 5. Figure 5 4. Connect PIT Module cable to water meter inside the Pit-Set, make sure both arrows located in front of each other and tight together, Figure 6. Figure 6 Pay attention! PIT Module may come with variety of cables, plugs, in case of bare wire connect the wires according to Meter manufacturer guidance 5. Place magnet on PIT Module top as illustrated in Figure 7 for 20 seconds than remove the magnet. Figure 7 6. On PIT Module bottom LED will indicate (Figure 8) process as described below. 7. When magnet is sensed LED blinks 3 times. Figure 8 8. Then when magnet was removed (after 20 seconds) LED will blink several times until it finds network and connected. 9. After PIT Module was magnet activated, it will automatically be ready to transmit based on production schedule configuration.

May 27, 2019 To Whom It May Concern, RE: Labelling of HL7800 Module The HL7800 module is a Surface Mount Device soldered onto the end product and is not possible for the end-user to replace or remove from the end product. In an effort to reduce the amount of paper/plastic/adhesive label consumption and be a good environmental corporate role model, Sierra Wireless uses laser etching instead of the traditional labels for the module. The laser etching process requires a “no etch” circular area in the centre of the module so that modules can be picked up by vacuum nozzles. The dimension of the module is shown in the drawing below. FCC ID: N7NHL78 IC: 2417C-HL78 Due to the small size of the product and the “no etch” area (marked grey) required for the laser etching process, it is not practical to mark the FCC Identifier and IC certification number in a font size of 4 points or larger. Pursuant to FCC Rule §2.925, the FCC Identifier will be placed in the user manual and on the device packaging. Sierra Wireless hereby seeks agreement from ISED to place the IC certification number in the user manual in accordance with Section 4 of RSS-Gen Issue 5. Sincerely, Denis Chabot Senior Manager, Certification

FCC ID: VIDCMPIT4G RF Exposure Evaluation Limits The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environment impact of human exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b) Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Frequency range (MHz) Electric field strength (V/m) Magnetic field strength (A/m) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Averaging time (minutes) (A) Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposures 0.3–3.0 614 1.63 *(100) 6 3.0–30 1842/f 4.89/f *(900/f 2 ) 6 30–300 61.4 0.163 1.0 6 300–1500 f/300 6 1500–100,000 5 6 (B) Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure 0.3–1.34 614 1.63 *(100) 30 1.34–30 824/f 2.19/f *(180/f 2 ) 30 30–300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300–1500 f/1500 30 1500–100,000 1.0 30 f = frequency in MHz Friis transmission formula: Pd = (Pout*G)/(4*pi*r 2 ) Where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 , Pout = output power to antenna in mW; G = gain of antenna in linear scale, Pi = 3.1416; R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm Pd id the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r where the MPE limit is reached. Test Procedure Software provided by client enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. Test Result of RF Exposure Evaluation BLE mode Channel Output power to antenna (mW) Power Density at R=20cm (mW/cm 2 ) Limit (mW/cm 2 ) Result Lowest (2402MHz) 3.85 0.0008 1.0 PASS Middle (2440MHz) 3.30 0.0007 1.0 PASS Highest (2480MHz) 2.64 0.0005 1.0 PASS Remark: antenna gain=0dBi So a SAR test is not required
