FCC and Industry Canada Guidelines for Devices Containing a
Transmitter Module
             The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER
             APPROVAL, DA 00‐1407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements
             for devices containing a modular transmitter.
                 Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if
                 the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the
                 outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label
                 referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the
                 following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID:
                 XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The
                 Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the
                 application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along
                 with the module which explain this requirement.
             In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for
             equipment authorization.
             The following is an extract from RSS‐GEN, General Requirements and Information for the
             Certification of Radio Apparatus, Section 3.2.1, describing labeling requirements for a host
             device integrating a radio module.
             The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device.
             The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when
             installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the
             Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains
             transmitter module”, or the word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same
             meaning, as follows:

                 where XXXXXX‐YYYYYYYYYYY is the moduleʹs certification number.
             L’extrait suivant provient du Cahier des charges sur les normes radioélectriques (CNR);
             exigences générales et information relatives à la certification des appareils radio, section
             3.2.1, et décrit les exigences en matière d’étiquetage pour un dispositif hôte intégrant un
             module radio.
             Le dispositif hôte doit être correctement étiqueté afin d’identifier les modules qu’il
             comprend.
             L’étiquette de certification Industrie Canada d’un module doit toujours être bien visible lors
             de l’installation sur un dispositif hôte. Dans le cas contraire, le dispositif hôte doit être
             étiqueté de façon à afficher le numéro de certification Industrie Canada du module, précédé
             de l’expression « Contains transmitter module » ou du mot « Contains », ou d’une
             formulation similaire ayant la même signification. Par exemple :
             Contains transmitter module IC : XXXXXX‐YYYYYYYYYYY
             où XXXXXX‐YYYYYYYYYYY représente le numéro de certification du module.
             The applicant for equipment certification of the module shall provide with each unit of the
             module either a label such as described above, or an explanation and instructions to the user
             as to the host device labelling requirements.

NRP NIC 440 Product Requirements                                     2 FCC and Industry Canada Government Guidelines


             Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
             antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
             Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
             should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
             than that necessary for successful communication.
             Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
             fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
             l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
             radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son
             gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
             l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.

             •   American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de‐energize all
                 circuits or equipment before working on them.
             •   Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all
                 unqualified persons at all times.
             •   Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who
                 tend to be drawn to work activity.
             •   Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage
                 with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been
                 de‐energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer
                 switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or
                 from another source.
             •   120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body
                 depends upon the bodyʹs resistance.
             •   Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock.
             •   Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects
                 and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical
                 equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection.
             •   Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order.
             •   Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be
                 ignited by an arc flash.
             •   Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries.
             •   Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what
                 you are doing.
             •   Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor.
             •   Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
             •   Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in accordance with OSHA and ANSI
                 standards.
             •   Wear eye protection and electrically insulated gloves. Test gloves in accordance with
                 ANSI standards before use. Do not use gloves that do not pass appropriate test
                 procedures.
             •   Wear protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and long pants made of flame resistant
                 materials.
             •   Remove all jewelry.
             •   Do not pass any objects to or from other persons not protected by insulating platforms or
                 tested, electrically insulated gloves.


Fall Protection
             When performing work at any elevation:


NRP NIC 440 Product Requirements                 24 March 2014                                 Silver Spring Networks 9


NRP NIC 440 Product Requirements                                      2 FCC and Industry Canada Government Guidelines


             •   Always use a fall protection system, in accordance with OSHA standards, whenever
                 performing work at any elevation.
             •   Never use conductors, guy wires, pins, or cross‐arm braces, etc. to support your weight.
             •   Whenever using aerial lift devices such as hoists, man‐lifts, vehicle‐mounted work
                 platforms and overhead lifts, read and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for safe and
                 proper operation.
             •   Use ladders and scaffolding only in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines
                 and/or according to OSHA standards.
             •   Only use ladders made of non‐metallic, non‐conductive material. They should be the
                 proper size and type for the work intended. Inspect ladders for wear and breakage.
                 Remove any oil, grease, or other slippery materials.
             •   Do not set the ladder at too steep or too shallow of an angle. A rule of thumb is to stand
                 erect with your toes against the bottom rails of the ladder, with your arms extended
                 straight out. If you can set your palms on top of the rung that is at eye level, the ladder
                 should be at the proper angle. If a ladder angle label is provided, follow its
                 recommendations.
             •   If the ladder is to remain in place for an extended period, secure it at the top. The support
                 point at the top of the ladder should be at least 24 inches (60 centimeters) wide to
                 maintain support in the event of sideways movement. For jobs of short duration, have a
                 fellow worker support the ladder at the base.
             •   Evaluate all tasks to be performed from a ladder for potential fall hazards, such as
                 complex tasks or situations that require leaning from the side of the ladder.
             •   The use of scaffolding or a work platform should be considered as an alternative solution
                 in such cases.


Shock Accident First Aid
             •   Do not touch the victim with your bare hands; use something non‐conductive to separate
                 the victim from the energy source.
             •   Call for emergency medical help immediately. Keep the victim lying down, warm, and
                 comfortable until help arrives. Avoid moving the victim in case of injury to neck or back.
                 Position an unconscious victim on a side to let fluids drain.
             •   Check the victim’s breathing and heartbeat. If properly trained, apply mouth‐to‐mouth
                 resuscitation and/or CPR if necessary.
             •   Remove constricting items from the victim, such as shoes, belts, jewelry, and tight collars;
                 they could cut off circulation if the victim experiences swelling.
             •   Apply water or saline for a few minutes to any burns until the skin returns to normal
                 temperature. Do not attempt to remove clothing that is stuck to a burn. If possible, elevate
                 burned areas to reduce swelling.
             •   Make sure the victim receives professional medical attention, even if they feel fine.
                 Electric shock can cause heart failure hours after the shock is received.
