MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 1 March 2017 Silver Spring Networks 8MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Government Guidelines This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-GEN of Industry Canada rules. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. •Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver disconnected. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER APPROVAL, DA 00-1407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements for devices containing a modular transmitter. Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Figure 8.

MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 1 March 2017 Silver Spring Networks 9MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Government Guidelines Industry Canada Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module MicroAP 5External Antenna IntegrationThis radio transmitter 5975A-NIC511LTE has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type 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. •Omnidirectional antennas: 6 dBi at 900 MHz, 4.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz •Cellular antennas: 6.63 dBi for 700 and 850 MHz; 6.0 dBi for 1700 MHz; 8.51 dBi for 1900 MHzLe présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle sʹil fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types dʹantenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et lʹimpédance requise pour chaque type dʹantenne. Les types dʹantenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour lʹexploitation de lʹémetteur.•Antennes omnidirectionnelles: 6 dBi à 900 MHz, 4.5 dBi à 2,4 GHz •Antennes cellulaire: 6.63 dBi a 700 & 850 MHz; 6.0 dBi a 1700 MHz; 8.51 dBi a 1900 MHzUnder Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.Conformément à la réglementation dʹIndustrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne dʹun type et dʹun gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour lʹémetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à lʹintention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type dʹantenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas lʹintensité nécessaire à lʹétablissement dʹune communication satisfaisante.Figure 9.

Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take chances!•Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer associated with the procedures in this manual. •The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA and NFPA standards. •The information contained in this document is intended to aid qualified personnel, and is not a replacement for the proper training required to make a person qualified. •Silver Spring Networks assumes no liability for the customerʹs failure to follow these safety guidelines. General Electrical Safety•Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace standards established by the following agencies: — Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). — The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-70). — National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). — Electronics Industries Association (EIA). — Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA). •American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de-energize all circuits or equipment before working on them. XXXWARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.

MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 1 March 2017 Silver Spring Networks 11MicroAP 5 Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Government Guidelines •Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all unqualified persons at all times. •Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who tend to be drawn to work activity. •Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been de-energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or from another source. •120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body depends upon the bodyʹs resistance. •Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock. •Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. •Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order. •Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be ignited by an arc flash. •Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries. •Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what you are doing.•Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor. •Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly.
