The Sensus StratusIQ™ meter is a FlexNet™ integrated
residential meter that includes multiple advanced features.
The StratusIQ™ meter comes in a standard, transformer,
or remote disconnect version and is available in a variety of
forms.
Technical Overview
The StratusIQ meter is a technologically advanced meter with integrated
Sensus FlexNet capability. The FlexNet communications network offers
a simple, reliable, and secure system that is economical for mass
meter deployments, strategic deployments, and rural applications while
providing a multi-application solution for all AMI end points.
The StratusIQ meter incorporates several hardware modules on a single
assembly, including the FlexNet module, a power supply, an antenna,
an optical port interface, metering, and LCD display. The FlexNet radio
module enables the meter to transmit meter consumption and status
information at regular intervals.
The FlexNet module communicates via the FlexNet fixed wireless
telemetry network to provide electric meter readings and diagnostic data
from the meter to the utility provider via radio. The module contains both
a receiver and transmitter to allow for two-way communications over the
FlexNet network.

Warnings & Hazards
WARNING
Sensus devices are for professional installation only. ey are to
be serviced by professional personnel only. is product is NOT
for consumer installation or servicing.
ATTENTION
Any modications made to this device that are not approved by
Sensus may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to
operate equipment.
ATTENTION
is 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. ese limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. is
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency en-
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, 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 o 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 dierent
form that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help
WARNING
If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your
Sensus representative or dealer and supply the product model
number found on the product label. If you cannot determine the
rated power out, then assure 3-feet separation from the body to
the device.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT RE-
MOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure limit for transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 20cm (7.87 inches) or more
should be maintained while operating the Sensus IDTB005 and
Sensus IDTB006. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than
this distance is not recommended. is minimum safe distance is
required between personnel and the antenna of this device.
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the ISED RF exposure limit for transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 22cm (8.66 inches) or more
should be maintained while operating the Sensus IDTB005 and
Sensus IDTB006. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than
this distance is not recommended. is minimum safe distance is
required between personnel and the antenna of this device.
An de satisfaire à la limite d’exposition RF pour les appareils de
transmission, une distance de séparation de 22cm (8.66 pouces)
ou plus doit être maintenu pendant le fonctionnement du Sensus
IDTB005 et Sensus IDTB006. Pour la conformité, un fonc-
tionnement à distance inférieure à celle est pas recommandée.
Cette distance minimale de sécurité est nécessaire entre le person-
nel et l’antenne de cet appareil.
ATTENTION
is device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation
est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit
pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit ac-
cepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
ATTENTION
is radio transmitter the Sensus IDTB005 and Sensus IDTB006
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.
Le présent émetteur radio (Sensus IDTB005 et Sensus IDTB006)
a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les
types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible
maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les
types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est
supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits
pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
• Integrated printed monopole with +2dBi
WARNING
e antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Warnings & Hazards
ATTENTION
Under 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 radi-
ated 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.
