Test 5: FCC Part 15.231(e) / Verify that the maximum transmission RSS-210 Sec. 6.1(e) Periodic Operation length does not exceed 1.5 seconds. Maximum message length has been extended for this product family from 1 second to 1.5 seconds per FCC waivers dated September 23, 2002 and November 5, 1990. The 2002 waiver was specifically for the raptor radio, which is the same radio that is used in this device. The message length has not changed since the waiver was written. The FCC has granted these waivers in order to avoid requiring a 30 second delay in the middle of each transmission. The FCC has acknowledged that such a requirement would be burdensome to meter installers as well as increase interference potential. Copies of both waivers are provided in appendix B of this document.

Appendix A – Field Strength Measurement Procedure This test measures the field strength of radiated emissions using a spectrum analyzer and a receiving antenna in accordance with ANSI C63.4-2003. During the test, the EUT is to be placed on a non-conducting support at 80 cm above the horizontal ground plane of the OATS. The horizontal distance between the antenna and the DUT is to be exactly 3 meters. Levels below 1 GHz are to be measured with the spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth at 120 kHz and levels at or above 1 GHz are to be measured with the spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth at 1 MHz. 1) Monitor the frequency range of interest at a fixed antenna height and EUT azimuth. 2) If appropriate, manipulate the system cables to produce the highest amplitude signal relative to the limit. Note the amplitude and frequency of the suspect signal. 3) Rotate the EUT 360° to maximize the suspected highest amplitude signal. If the signal or another at a different frequency is observed to exceed the previously noted highest amplitude signal by 1 dB or more, go back to the azimuth and repeat step b). Otherwise, orient the EUT azimuth to repeat the highest amplitude observation and proceed. 4) Move the antenna over its fully allowed range of travel to maximize the suspected highest amplitude signal. If the signal or another at a different frequency is observed to exceed the previously noted highest amplitude signal by 1 dB or more, return to step b) with the antenna fixed at this height. Otherwise, move the antenna to the height that repeats the highest amplitude observation and proceed. 5) Change the polarity of the antenna and repeat step b), step c), and step d). Compare the resulting suspected highest amplitude signal with that found for the other polarity. Select and note the higher of the two signals. This signal is termed the highest observed signal with respect to the limit for this EUT operational mode. EUT 3 M.
