FCC Part 15, Class B This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Itron, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Regulatory Compliance
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Cet appareillage numérique de la classe B répond à la norme Canadienne sur le matériel brouilleur. L'opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif ne peut pas causer d'interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n'importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris les interférences pouvant entraîner un fonctionnement indésirable. Under Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Innovation, Science and Economic Development 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 d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. RF Exposure (FCC/ISED) The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. Under ISED regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED . 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. This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by ISED 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. Professional Installation These antennas are intended for professional installation by the integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this antenna. Modification and Repairs To ensure FCC compliance and system performance, this device, antenna and/or coaxial assembly shall not be changed or modified without the express written approval of Itron. Any unauthorized modification will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to repair this device by unauthorized personnel may subject the person to shock hazard if removal of protected covers is attempted. Unauthorized repair will void the warranty and/or maintenance contract with your company.

IT Department User Guide 1 This document provides information on the design, construction, and operation of the OpenWay Riva Smart Network Interface Card (NIC) module. The module consists of two major components: the communications board and the antenna. The sample module housing is constructed using polycarbonate material that provides protection for the internal components. Power may be supplied from optional power board or supplied from a host supply. This module contains the cutting edge communication technology featuring IPv6 RF and Power Line Carrier Communications. OpenWay features an innovative multimedia IPv6 network that uses both RF and PLC links within a mesh to route messages and data between standards-based smart meters (DLMS/COSEM) and the head-end system. Itron’s communication module also enables secure two-way communication with home energy management devices using G3 PLC, Wi-Fi and protocol stacks SEP 2.0 and ECHONET Lite. The communication module enables utilities to deploy the network without specific network planning and segregation for RF and PLC environments. Intelligence in the module chooses the communication link quality and modulation scheme that support the best possible data rate. Data rates of up to 500kbps are achievable by this multimedia mesh. This is done automatically in real-time by the modules without any need for pre-programming or path hard-coding. The communication modules create their own multi-hop environment using the best available physical path for communication where the routing is managed by standardized IETF routing protocols that are independent of the physical link. Itron’s technology offers a unique way to deploy the same communication module anywhere, regardless of traditional network design considerations, such as geography, density, or structural environment.
