Q UI CK G UI DE FlexNet® SmartPoint® C&I Gas Transceiver Module Quick Guide The Sensus FlexNet SmartPoint C&I Gas transceiver module for commercial applications provides wireless communication capability to gas utility meters. Technical Overview SPECIFICATIONS The FlexNet communications network offers a simple, reliable, and The SmartPoint® 500GM, 600GM, and secure system that is economical for mass meter deployments, strategic 800GM product with integrated FlexNet deployments, and rural applications while providing a multi-application module will have a visible label containing the solution for all AMI end points. following information: Contains Model: GFL3CI The FlexNet SmartPoint C&I Gas transceiver module consists of a Contains FCC ID: SDBGFL3CI transceiver board and antenna board mounted together. Contains IC: 2220A-GFL3CI The module communicates via the Sensus FlexNet fixed wireless telemetry network to provide application specific information to utilities and customers. The module transmits status information automatically at a programmable periodic rate and can be triggered by specific events from the utility or metering interface. The transceiver transmits and receives data over licensed frequency bands. The transceiver printed board contains a power supply, microprocessor, transceiver, and power amplifier necessary to communicate over the FlexNet system. The antenna board has an antenna mounted on it and a read switch used to detect tampering. The module is powered by a battery pack, capable of providing the energy needed for operation over the lifetime of the product. It provides a burst of energy as needed for peak transmission events.
