2 Safety and Regulatory Considerations
2.1 Danger: High Voltages
When the Raptor is integrated to the meter, high voltages are present:
CAUTION: When the Raptor is mounted in an I210 Meter, the term “GND” or “Ground” does
NOT refer to Earth ground. All signals will have a 120/240VAC power superimposed onto
those lines. All signals to/from the raptor need to be isolated. No grounded instruments, or
computers, should touch the Raptor signals.
It is recommended to use the following isolation/drivers.

FCC ID: XTE-EM110100. IC: 8655A-EM110100. This device is only authorized for use in fixed and
mobile applications. To meet FCC and other national radio frequency (RF) exposure
requirements, the antenna for this device must be installed to ensure a separation distance of at
least 20cm (8 inches) from the antenna to a person.
2.5.1 Note to Integrators
A label showing the FCC ID and IC designators, listed above, must be affixed to the exterior of
any device containing the Raptor (if the Raptor is not visible). The exterior label must include:
Contains FCC ID: XTE-EM110100, IC: 8655A-EM110100, TELEC: TBD, not yet issued.
2.5.2 RF Exposure Statement
The air interface supports operation on channels in the 2402 MHz – 2476 MHz range for FCC/IC
regulatory domains and 2402 MHz – 2482 MHz for the TELEC regulatory domain.
Before this product becomes operational it must undergo a commissioning procedure, during
which critical information required for operation is entered into the device and stored in non-
volatile storage. It is during the initial commissioning procedure that the regulatory domain,
under which the device will operate, is set. Subsequent configuration of the device during
operation is checked against the commissioned regulatory domain and non-permitted channels
or transmit power levels are rejected and the device will not transmit until a permissible
configuration per the commissioned regulatory domain is set.
2.6 Antennas
This device has been certified to operate with the built-in (PCB chip) antenna listed below. To
adhere to these EMC certifications requires that only this antenna be used. All other antennas
are strictly prohibited for use with the Raptor unless new EMC certifications are obtained. The
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Note 1: During TX mode the supercap charger is disabled to reduce peak currents.
Note 2: During RX mode the supercap charger is enabled. The supercap charge current is limited
to about 110mA.
3.4 Power Supplies
The Raptor utilizes two main power supplies when it is functioning:
1. Main switching power supply (3.3VDC output).
This main buck-boost power supply is operating at all times. It supplies power to all digital
and radio circuits.
2. Supercap Charger (~4.4VDC output).
This boost type switching power supply is used to charge the super capacitors. It can only
operate with an input supply up to about 4.4VDC. It is in use at all times when primary
power is applied. Once primary power is interrupted this power supply is disabled and the
super caps supply power to the main switching power supply.
Additionally the ULP uNode module on the Raptor PCB has its own switching power supply
(buck-boost) that uses the Raptor’s main switching power supply as its source.

12 M_MUX_CTRL AMI output, set low to communicate with meter.
4.3 Environmental
4.3.1 ESD
The Raptor has bidirectional ESD protection diodes on its 8 digital I/O pins providing protection
to IEC 61000-4-2; level 4.
Table 6. ESD Rating
ESD Model Class and Minimum Voltage
HBM Class 1C ( >1000V)
MM Class A (>100V)
The antennas have protection in the form of an inductor to ground, thus allowing some
robustness to direct ESD strikes. Additionally, the antennas are encapsulated in the
polycarbonate housing of the meter – so there is little chance of high voltages on the antennas,
or others of the board.
4.3.2 Harsh Environments
The Raptor is designed to be an embedded circuit card in an enclosed protective shell. It is not
designed to be exposed to outdoor environments without a case or similar protections. An IP 67
or better protective casing is strongly recommended. The polycarbonate dome of the meter
nominally provides robustness to harsh environments.

7 Provisioning
The tools and software required for provisioning the Raptor modules are described in this
section.
The Provisioning process can be handled in two main ways:
Manual for small runs
Automatic for full production.
7.1 Manual
The Node Provisioning Tool (see referenced tools/documents) can be used to provision Raptors
in small quantity. The PC will attach to the DUT Raptor via its Provisioning header (UART is 3.3V).
The Raptor connector is J202 and requires a “TE Connectivity” connector PN 1470364-3 to mate
with it. The pinout is:
Pin 1 Debug_RX (3V3 logic)
Pin 2 Debug_TX (3V3 logic)
Pin 3 GND
CAUTION:
When the Raptor is mounted in an I210 Meter, the term “GND” or “Ground” does
NOT refer to Earth ground. All signals will have a 120/240VAC power imposed onto
those lines.
All signals to/from the Raptor board need to be isolated. No grounded
instruments, or
computers, should touch the Raptor board signals.
Use the setup as described in Figure 2.
7.2 Automatic
The automatic process is defined and built by the Customer. On-Ramp Wireless has assisted in
development of these tools but are not a property of On-Ramp Wireless. It is the customer that
owns, defines, develops, documents and maintains the Manufacturing Tools.
The Provisioning process nominally deals with:
Loading in current versions of Software to microNode and K20 processors
Configuring (channels, TX power, etc)
Setting and configuring Security Keys (via LKS server)
Performing an OTA test to ensure the complete meter-Raptor-antenna chain is verified
Lock down all access ports such as UART header and JTAG.
A graphical representation of the provisioning process is shown in Appendix A.

Appendix B Test Mode
The test modes, described below, are set by setting the "testMode" parameter in the EMCM's
config file.
Normal Operating Mode 0
This mode is entered based on a flash configuration setting. This mode is persistent across
boots. This is the normal operating mode of the EMCM. UNIL is initialized to communicate with
the node. The meter software layer is initialized to communicate with the meter. Although the
EMCM is in its normal operating mode, as determined by the flash config setting, other factors
may subsequently cause the EMCM to change to a non-normal operating mode (e.g. meter is
not in metering mode).
Non-Persistent Idle / Factory Test Mode 1
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is not
persistent across boots (self clearing). UNIL is initialized to pass-through mode. Meter software
layer is not initialized. The UART on the AMR (automatic meter reading) serial interface is placed
in loopback mode (using the same baud rate as the meter, e.g. 9600). Same as mode 2 except
the flash testMode setting is automatically cleared to mode 0 when entering this mode. A
subsequent "set test mode" command can set the cleared value to some other test mode value.
Persistent Idle / Factory Test Mode 2
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is persistent
across boots. UNIL is initialized to pass-through mode. Meter software layer is not initialized.
The UART on the AMR serial interface is placed into loopback mode (using the same baud rate
as the meter, e.g. 9600). Same as mode 1 except the flash testMode setting is persistent across
boots. To exit this mode, the test mode configuration setting must be set to another value which
will take effect on eMCM reset.
Non-Persistent Node RF Test Mode 3
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is not
persistent across boots (self clearing). UNIL is initialized to pass-through mode. The meter
software layer is not initialized. Same as mode 4 except the flash testMode setting is
automatically cleared to mode 0 when entering this mode. A subsequent "set test mode"
command can set the cleared value to some other test mode value.
The TX test mode is controlled by the "txTestMode" parameter in the config file.
1 = CW_CENTER
2 = CW_OFFSET
3 = MODULATED
The antenna is controlled by the "txTestAntenna" parameter in the config file.
0 or 1.

The frequency is controlled by the "txTestCenterFreqKhzOffset" parameter in the config file.
KHz offset from 2.4 GHz
2000 - 100000
e.g., 50000 = 2.45 GHz
The VGA is controlled by the "txTestVga" parameter in the config file.
0 - 63, 255
The on/off duration is controlled by the "txTestModeSec" and "txTestModeUsec"
parameters in the config file.
Persistent Node RF Test Mode 4
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is persistent
across boots. UNIL is initialized to pass-through mode. The meter software layer is not
initialized. Same as mode 3 except the flash testMode setting is persistent across boots. To exit
this mode, the test mode configuration setting must be set to another value which will take
effect on eMCM reset.
Non-Persistent Manufacturing Cal Mode 5
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is not
persistent across boots (self clearing). UNIL is initialized normally so that it communicates with
the node. The meter software layer is not initialized. The UART on the AMR serial interface is not
initialized or used. Same as mode 6 except the flash testMode setting is automatically cleared to
mode 0 when entering this mode. A subsequent "set test mode" command can set the cleared
value to some other test mode value.
Persistent Manufacturing Cal Mode 6
This mode is entered based on the testMode flash configuration setting. This mode is persistent
across boots. UNIL is initialized normally so that it communicates with the node. The meter
software layer is not initialized. The UART on the AMR serial interface is not initialized or used.
Same as mode 5 except the flash testMode setting is persistent across boots. To exit this mode,
the test mode configuration setting must be set to another value which will take effect on
eMCM reset.
Non-Persistent Meter Diagnostic Mode (Not Yet Implemented)
This mode is entered based on a flash configuration setting. This mode is not persistent across
boots (self clearing). UNIL is initialized normally so that it communicates with the node. The
meter software layer is initialized and communication to the meter is tested and validated. If
communication with either the node or the meter fails (or any other error condition detected),
then the red LED is blinked with an error code indefinitely (or until the deployment mode LED
timer expires). If no errors are detected, the green LED is blinked normally to indicate network
connection state (scanning, joined, etc). A reset is required to recover. Note: this mode may not
be needed if a basic diagnostic or POST check is done by the EMCM as part of its initialization
process.

Setting EMCM to Test Mode 1 - Non-Persistent Idle Factory Test Mode
How to Enter
Set the 'testMode' flag in the config file to one.
e.g. ./emcm_set_cfg.py -d /dev/ttyS0 --testMode=1
Reset the EMCM to take effect.
e.g. ./emcm_dev_reset.py -d /dev/ttyS0 --emcm
How to Exit
Because this mode is non-persistent, it can be exited via an EMCM reset.
Reset the EMCM to exit the test mode. By default, the EMCM will return to normal
operational mode 0 after reset unless another mode was explicitly specified with the
emcm_set_cfg.py command prior to resetting.
e.g. ./emcm_dev_reset.py -d /dev/ttyS0 --emcm
If a different mode is desired upon reset, explicitly
