Model: ACT1 FCC ID: SK9-ACT1 IC: 864G-ACT1 1 GENERAL 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this report is to demonstrate compliance with Part 15 Subpart C of the FCC’s Code of Federal Regulations and Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada’s Radio Standards Specification RSS-247 for a Class II Permissive Change Certification. The purpose of this Class II Permissive Change is to add new antenna types/host combination to the 900MHz LAN frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio. 1.2 Product Description The Itron ACT1 is an electricity metering module which includes a 902.4 MHz to 927.6 MHz transmitter as well as WiFi. The module operates on AC as well as DC voltage which is supplied by a host device. This test report documents the compliance of the 902.4 MHz to 927.6 MHz transceiver mode of operation with the new antennas documented below only. Technical Details: Detail Description Frequency Range 902.4 – 927.6 MHz Number of Channels 64 Modulation Format FSK, OFDM, DSSS FSK: 50kbps, 150kbps Data Rates OFDM: 200kbps, 600kbps DSSS: 6.25kbps, 12.5kbps Operating Voltage 120Vac to Host ¼ Wave Embedded Slot Antenna / 2dBi Patch Antenna (External Adhesive Patch Coupler) – New to C2PC Antenna Type(s) / PCTEL, Inc.

Model: ACT1 FCC ID: SK9-ACT1 IC: 864G-ACT1 1.3 Test Methodology and Considerations The Class II Permissive Change testing was to add additional antennas to the original certification, therefore only radiated emissions were performed. The antennas included in this filing are connected to the EUT host via an adhesive patch antenna. The intention of the patch antenna is to couple the EUT 900MHz LAN antenna over-the- air. The coupled signal is then to be routed, via coax, to the antennas described in this filing. The ACT1 module was integrated into representative hosts for showing compliance with the new antenna configurations. See section 5 for information pertaining to the hosts used in this evaluation. For radiated emissions, the EUT was temporarily modified with a USB cable to facilitate programming of the EUT for a continuously modulated signal on each channel evaluated only. The cable was removed from the programming computer during the evaluation. Based on the radiated emissions data collected on the original certification, the worst case data rate was evaluated to show compliance. The worst case data rate was DSSS at 6.25kbps.

Model: ACT1 FCC ID: SK9-ACT1 IC: 864G-ACT1 2.3 Radiated Emissions Test Site Description 2.3.1 Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site The Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site consists of a 20’ x 30’ x 18’ shielded enclosure. The chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is 101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber. The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit.

Model: ACT1 FCC ID: SK9-ACT1 IC: 864G-ACT1 2.3.2 Open Area Tests Site (OATS) The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro- plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity. The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4" diamond style re-enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel ground plane; however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in ANSI C63.4. A diagram of the Open Area Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-2 below: 10Meter 3 Meters 40Feet 7x7x4 Pit 66 Feet Figure 2.3-2: Open Area Test Site Report: 72124754-100 TÜV SÜD America Inc. Page 7

Model: ACT1 FCC ID: SK9-ACT1 IC: 864G-ACT1 7.2 Band Edge and Spurious Emissions 7.2.1 Emissions into Restricted Frequency Bands – FCC: Section 15.205, 15.209; ISED Canada: RSS-Gen 8.9/8.10 7.2.1.1 Measurement Procedure The unwanted emissions into restricted bands were measured radiated over the frequency range of 30 MHz to 10 GHz, 10 times the highest fundamental frequency. The EUT was rotated through 360° and the receive antenna height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000 MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made using a RBW of 120 kHz and a VBW of 300 kHz. For frequencies above 1000 MHz, peak and average measurements were made with RBW and VBW of 1 MHz and 3 MHz respectively.
