Model REXUA PCBA manual General The Model REXUA printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) contains a frequency hopping spread spectrum radio operating in the 900 MHz ISM frequency band plus a DSSS radio operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It also contains circuitry for electricity metering. When the REXUA module is installed in a plastic housing it forms a complete electricity meter. Installations of multiple REXUA meters comprise part of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system that utilizes a proprietary network architecture and protocol devised by Elster Solutions.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Elster could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC & ISED Information  FCC ID: QZC-MNIC  IC: 4557A-MNIC User Information (Part 15.105) 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 the 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 If you experience trouble with this equipment, please use the Return Material Request (RMR) feature available at the Online Customer Services at www.elsterelectricity.com. Do not attempt to repair this equipment yourself unless you are replacing the entire module. Compliance Statement (Part 15.19) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Class B digital apparatus requirements for ICES-003. 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 of the device. ÉNONCÉ DE CONFORMITÉ Cet appareil est conforme à la Partie 15 des règles de la FCC et aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'utilisation de cet appareil est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) Cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférences nocives et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toutes les interférences reçues notamment celles pouvant provoquer un fonctionnement intempestif de l'appareil. Antenna Compliance 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 Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) 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. MNIC: This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in this document with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. MNIC: Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés dans cette document et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’explotation de l’émetteur. This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le present appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’explotation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

RF Radiation Safety Guidelines The device should be installed in a location where there will be a separation greater than 20 cm (8 inches) from locations occupied by humans. DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ DE RADIOFRÉQUENCE Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiations définies par la Commission Fédéral des Communications (FCC) pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance d'au moins 20 cm de séparation de toutes personnes. Collocation Statement Collocation of simultaneously-transmitting (co-transmitting) antennas located within 20 cm of each other within a final product is not allowed, except as documented in the FCC application. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
