iv MTU Installation GuidelinesFCC/IC ComplianceFCC/IC ComplianceThe following statements cover the RF exposure guide and the field calibration procedure.FCC/IC RF Exposure GuideAclara Technologies LLC low power RF devices and their antennas must be fixed-mounted on indoor or outdoor permanent structure(s) providing a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. This device is not designed (and it has no external connection) to operate in conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters. No other operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance are needed.Field Calibration ProcedureAclara Technologies LLC low power RF devices have passed through extensive and multitask testing and calibration procedures while in the factory. Therefore, no additional calibration or adjustment is required in the field. Aclara Technologies LLC low power RF devices are shipped to the customer in the sealed enclosures. Thus, no adjustments can be made in the field, without breaking the factory sealed enclosure.AntennaThis radio transmitter (4546A-9975T) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below 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.Manufacturer Manufacturer Part Number dBiLaird Technologies FG4605 5MAXRAD MFB4605(NF) 5DRAFT

Cet appareil n'est pas conçu (et il n'a aucun branchement externe) pour être utilisé en association avec toute autre antenne ou tout transmetteur. Aucune autre instruction d'utilisation n'est requise pour assurer la conformité aux règles d'exposition aux RF.Procédure de calibration sur placeLes appareils RF à faible puissance Aclara Technologies LLC ont été soumis à des tests étendus et multi-tâches et à des procédures de calibration complexes en usine. Par conséquent, ils ne requièrent pas de calibration ni d'ajustement supplémentaire sur place. Les appareils RF à faible puissance Aclara Technologies LLC sont expédiés au client dans des boîtiers scellés. Aucun ajustement ne peut donc être effectué sur place sans briser le boîtier scellé en usine.AntenneCet émetteur radio (4546A-9975T) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec l'antenne types énumérés ci-dessous avec le maximum de gain admissible indiqué. Types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ayant un gain supérieur au gain maximum indiqué pour ce type, sont strictement interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil.Référence du fabricant Numéro de pièce fabricant dBiLaird Technologies FG4605 5MAXRAD MFB4605(NF) 5DRAFT
