Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide Overview The Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX module is an integrated solution with FOCUS AX advanced metering electronics the Gridstream AMR communication electronics combined together on a single PCB. It uses field-proven Digital Multiplication Measurement Technique to ensure a highly accurate load performance and dependability during the entire life of the product. It also offers a Service Disconnect option and ZigBee connectivity for HAN applications. Figure 1. Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX module and the Landis+Gyr FOCUS AX meter This communication module is not available as a stand alone product. To order a Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX endpoint, the Landis+Gyr kit number is 40-1284 (with ZigBee). Required Software To work with the endpoint, you need one of the following software tools: • Command Center version 5.0 or later • RadioShop version 5.0 or later • Endpoint Testing Manager version 4.0 or later Data Sheet 98-1033 Rev AB 3

Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr About the LAN ID The LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Gridstream RF endpoint. It is always displayed in hex. Landis+Gyr provides the LAN address. You cannot change the LAN ID of a radio. HAN Support The Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX communication module supports an integrated ZigBee system on the chip. This enables the endpoint to communicate via Smart Energy Profile 1.0 with other ZigBee enabled devices. Endpoint Registration with Command Center Communication module firmware version 6.x or later and module Device Control Word (DCW) 1A01.06.05 or later is required for auto-registration. After the endpoint is installed in the field it will automatically register with the Head End System. No special tools are needed during installation as the normal Utility meter swap process can be utilized. The meter automatically sends in the registration information containing items on how the meter/ endpoint is configured so the host can properly interpret the incoming data. Some of the items contained in this are as follows: • Default collector/destination • Reporting interval for Register Data • Reporting interval for Interval Data • Meter's AMR-level security password • Time Synchronization parameters • GMT offset • Periodic Register Data reporting • Periodic LP Data reporting • Meter configuration information Once this information has been sent the endpoint starts collecting and sending based on the default configuration loaded during manufacturing. Retrieving Data The endpoint is capable of delivering data via an On Request Read (ORR) or autonomously (periodically reported). Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. On Request Reads (ORR) available with this endpoint are: • Register Data (Standard Table 23) which includes consumption, demand and TOU values • Load Profile or Interval Data (Standard Table 64) • Revenue Integrity Services which includes instantaneous measurements related to line voltage, current and phase angle 4 98-1033 Rev AB Data Sheet

Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. Options for periodic reported data with this module include: • Register Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 23 & 3) which includes consumption, demand, TOU values and meter status • Load Profile or Interval Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 64 & 3) which includes interval data and meter status Demand Reset When the Command Center Host delivers a Demand Reset command, the communication module passes the command to the meter, which performs the Demand Reset on the meter. The endpoint then passes the previous demand data captured by the meter (Standard Table 25) to the Host for processing. Time Synchronization Time synchronization is the process of keeping the meter time synchronized with the Gridsteam RF network time within a configurable limit. The communication module automatically keeps its time synchronized with the Gridstream RF network via periodic background process. The communication module reads the meter date/clock table (Standard Table 52) at 1:23 AM. If the time drift between meter and communication module exceeds the minimum time threshold, X, it sends a time synchronization alert message to the Host so it knows that an adjustment was made automatically for XX seconds. If the time is off by more than Y seconds, an alert is sent saying the time off exceeds allowed seconds and that further manual action will be required to correct. Power Outage/Restoration When an outage occurs, the meter uses an early power failure signal to alert the communication module to disconnect from the meter's power immediately. The communication module saves critical module data to non-volatile memory and creates and sends a power outage message. This message includes the following information: • LAN ID • Outage time • Reboot count. The communication module sends the message, then assists with routing other packets until the back-up energy source can no longer keep the radio alive. When power is restored, the communication module connects with the network. With network communications restored, the communication module sends a power restoration message that includes details such as: • LAN ID • Outage time • Restoration time • Reboot count. Data Sheet 98-1033 Rev AB 5

Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr The communication module stores a history of up to the last five power outage and restoration event pairs in the event log. The Host can request this data. Supporting Passwords The endpoint supports passwords provided by the utility. See two way Endpoint Testing Manager for loading password into the communication module. Downloading Firmware The metrology, communication module and ZigBee firmware can be upgraded remotely over the network. Both the communication module and ZigBee firmware can remotely initiate a self-restart with communications enabled, if the downloaded firmware causes a catastrophic functional failure. Once the endpoint completely receives the new code, it operates with the new code. The metrology and communication module firmware are integrated and must be updated simultaneously. Encrypting Data The Gridstream RF network currently supports use of one encryption key per network. If you enable the FOCUS AX with encryption, the host must have a matching encryption key. Configuration Tables The Gridstream RF Communication Module Configuration structure passes the data to configure the endpoint. It is used for both C&I and Residential applications. This table is currently 55 bytes long. It contains information necessary to configure several services on the endpoint, such as firmware reads, autonomous data return configuration. The endpoint receives the packet, and using the data, configures its own operation. The host maintains a record of the endpoint’s configuration. Item General Description Identifies which elements in this packet are set. Elements that are not set are Packet Contents ignored. There still must be a place in the packet for it, though.

Gridstream RF Electric Endpoint Fix-up Antenna Installation Guide Overview This publication outlines the procedure for remote passive antenna installation on Gridstream RF Electric Endpoints. Figure 1. Remote Passive Antenna This antenna couples radio frequency energy from a Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF Electric Endpoint's 902-928 MHz antenna into a coax cable connected to a remote antenna located at an optimal location for better connection to the Gridstream RF network. Coupling loss (including the 2.5 ft. cable) ranges from 5 to 9 dB, with 5 being a typical value. Environmental performance is rated for: 0 to 95% relative humidity, -40 to +85° C. Coupler Part Numbers The same coupler is used for all remote antenna installations. The part number and description is as follows: • 40-1705 flex loop, 2.5 ft. antenna cable, cable tie, adhesive In the case where the length above is insufficient, Landis+Gyr recommends the extension cable listed below, terminated with a female “N” connector on one end and a male “N” connector on the other: • 19-1742, extension cable, 20 ft.

This will vary depending on the location of the meter. In general, the antenna should be: • Installed as close to line of sight with a Gridstream RF network equipment as is possible. • Mounted so that it is at least four inches from the nearest structure. • Mounted so that a meter box cover, if the endpoint is enclosed in one, can be removed without interference from the remoted antenna. • For inside-premise installations, remoted antennas may be mounted in the proximity of an available window, or may need to be routed to the outside if the signal strength is insufficient. • Mounted so that the antenna connector is OUTSIDE the meter box. A 1-inch hole should be drilled in the meter box so that the connector can be fed through the box. Use the appropriate mounting bracket to mount the antenna external to the meter box. • Mounted so that any length of additional cable is minimized. The best practice for maximum cable length is to not exceed line loss (refer to cable manufactures line loss chart) vs. gain of antenna, the RF link loss by use of passive antenna can be excluded from the line loss calculation. It is the responsibility of local installation organizations to ensure that local wiring codes and requirements are met, including the application of a safety ground, when required.  NOTE: This device and the supplied installation components are UV-resistant.
