This module includes three transmitters: an ERT radio, RF engine, and cell modem. The ERT radio is a 915 MHz band frequency-hopper which transmits a standard consumption message (SCM) that can be read by a utility’s existing meter reading equipment. The RF engine is a 2.4 GHz transceiver module. The modem transmits metrology data over the cell phone network and receives commands such as remote connect/disconnect. Depending on customer needs the RDM can be delivered with any or all transmitters installed. 2 LABELING REQUIREMENTS All RDM modules with the ERT radio installed shall be labeled with the following text: In addition, the end product shall contain a label that states the following: 3 FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS 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. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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. CONTAINS FCC ID: YJC-RDMERT0 FCC ID: YJC-RDMERT0 D26-0001-004 August 1, 2014 Page 4 of 4 Rev 1.0 4 INSTALLATION AND MODIFICATION This module must be installed to provide a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from all persons, and must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As this module will only be installed in Nighthawk products, Nighthawk retains responsibility for compliance of the final product. WARNING: To ensure FCC compliance and system performance, this assembly shall not be changed or modified without the express written approval of Nighthawk. Any unauthorized modification will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 5 ANTENNA The ERT antenna is a folded quarter-wave monopole printed circuit trace, connected through a match network. The antenna has a designed maximum gain of 5.0 dBi.

FCC ID: YJC-RDMERT0 Model: RDM There are 3 radios on board. They only transmit one at a time. So there is no simultaneous transmission. Novatel HS 3001 cell modem (FCC ID MIVCNN0301) and Synapse SM200 RF engine (FCC ID U9O-SM200) have their RF exposure compliance addressed in their corresponding filings with the FCC. This document addresses RF exposure compliance for the ERT radio (910.0-919.8MHz) in this application. Host product Itron C2SXD Form 2S Electric Meter is installed more than 20cm away from nearby people and ERT radio antenna is a folded quarter-wave monopole printed circuit trace antenna internal to the host. Maximum peak output power at the antenna terminal and declared antenna gain are listed on Pg 16 of the test report and are used in the following equation. Power density at 20cm is based on Where: S = power density P = power input to the antenna G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna Maximum peak output power at the antenna terminal:8.93(dBm) Maximum peak output power at the antenna terminal:7.816278046(mW) Antenna gain(typical): 5(dBi) Maximum antenna gain:3.16227766(numeric) Prediction distance:20(cm) Prediction frequency: 915(MHz) MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency:0.61(mW/cm^2) Power density at prediction frequency:0.004917(mW/cm^2) Therefore device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits for general population in mobile exposure category (distance > 20cm) 2 4R PG S π =
