FCC Information
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the ArKion
Systems could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the antenna 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.
“NOTE: 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.

1. Introduction
The ArKion SmartMeter is intended for indoor & outdoor use as an unattended automatic
metering Infrastructure (AMI) & control device. The SmartMeter product consists of an
ArKion AMI module fully integrated into a Landis+Gyr Focus solid state electric meter.
The SmartMeter is fully self-contained with no user accessible controls.
The SmartMeter interrogates the ANSI C.12 register set in Focus solid-state electric
meters from Landis + Gyr. It’s main function is to obtain energy consumption, negative
consumption, and voltage readings for billing, distribution monitoring, fraud detection,
and conservation purposes.
Meter reading interval is remotely settable. Information retrieved from the meters
registers are temporarily stored within the Smart Meters solid-state memory. On a
specified interval, the Smart Meter will automatically transmit this information to the
ArKion AMI server via. other meters or CCOM using the Radio Frequency (RF) network.
The ArKion AMI server analyzes and archives the readings.
The Smart Meter uses SuperCapacitors to support transmission of power failure
messages and to maintain the time of day clock. The Smart Meter does not use any
internal batteries eliminating need for field service.
The contents of this installation manual are intended for technically qualified personnel of
energy distribution utilities who have been trained and are technically qualified in basic
electrical principles, including safety procedures for installation of energy meters.
The installer should refer to the latest edition of the Landis+Gyr “FOCUS kWh Solid-State
Meter Technical Manual” for physical installation, wiring, and safety precautions.
