1 Introduction
The Silver Spring Networks eBridge is a FCC Part 15.247 compliant device that enables
communication between Silver Spring Networks AMI network and intelligent endpoint device
(IED) connected to either the serial or Ethernet port of the eBridge. The eBridge transmits in
the 902 to 928 MHz, ISM band and transfers data from the IEDs to Silver Spring Networks Access
Points, Relays and/or other continuous power device acting as network relays.


2 eBridge Labeling
The SSN eBridge has two labels relevant to unit assembly – the FCC & Part Number label and
the SSN MAC Address label. Both labels are located on the top side of the eBridge PCBA. The
barcode format is Code 3 of 9.
Figure 1 is an example of the FCC ID label that can be found in the location indicated in

                         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.

                             FCC ID: OWS-NIC506 IC: 5975A-NIC506


The eBridge is REQUIRED to be professionally installed within the host IED by a properly trained
technician. Improper installation could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

                            Figure 5 – Sample Label for eBridge PCBA




                       FCC ID: OWS-NIC506                           IC: 5975A-NIC506
                       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.




NOTE: For FCC compliance, the following text MUST be included in eBridge manuals and
user’s guides.
User installation is prohibited.
The host meter should be installed so that people will not come within 20 cm (8 in.) of the
antenna.
The antenna of this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.

    CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silver Spring Networks could
    void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2.1 FCC 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."

2.2 Safety Information
WARNING!: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in massive
equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will result in
blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce dangerous
and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical shock may
result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.
Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take
chances!
