                                                 RF Exposure Notice (509)
   • The antenna of this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
     or transmitter.

   • The device should be installed so that people will not come within 20 cm (8 in.) of the antenna.

   • This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, and with Industry
     Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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 disconnected.

   • Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help.
                                                         Modifications to the IMU not
                                                  expressly approved by Silver Spring Networks
                                                   may void your authority to operate the IMU.

                                   Attach the Tamper Magnet Holder
   • On an American meter,
     attach the magnet so that
     the protrusion holding the
     magnet points down and to
     the left and the gap in the
     circle fits around the
     notch on the meter.



                                                                       American



   • On a Rockwell meter, attach the
                                                       American
     magnet holder so that the
     protrusion holding the magnet
     points down and to the left and
     the inner pin is inserted into
     the index screw hole.

                                               Attach Meter Index to IMU
   • Align the IMU drive train
     with the index wriggler.

                                   Attach Meter Index to IMU (cont.)
   • Use the two index screws
     to firmly attach the index
     to the IMU.

   • Torque:
         –     Rockwell: 13-15 inch pounds
         –     American: 14-17 inch pounds




   • Rotate the IMU drive train two turns,
     clockwise or counter-clockwise
     to ensure it spins freely.

                                         Attach IMU Assembly to Meter
   • Insert the four cover screws
     through the index cover
     and set the cover down.




   • Attach the IMU assembly to
     the meter so that the drive
     train aligns with the meter
     wriggler and the screw
     holes on the meter align
     with those on the cover.

                              Attach IMU Assembly to Meter (cont.)
   • While holding the enclosure
     against the meter to
     maintain proper alignment,
     rotate the test hand to
     verify proper engagement.

   • Attach the index cover and
     screws to the meter.

   • Torque:
         – Rockwell: 17-20 inch pounds
         – American: 25-35 inch pounds




   • Tighten the four screws firmly.

   • Use the nut driver to push the
     two red tamper seals into place.

                                   Prepare the IMU for Programming
   • Slowly pass the service magnet once (for 2 to 5 seconds) over the top of the IMU.

   • Doing so wakes up the IMU, enabling you to program it.
