1.0 Introduction
This document details the installation and usage of the “Sensus In-Line Zigbee
Module”. At present the module is designed to work in the Sensus iConA and
iConAS electric meters although in future in may work with other electric meter
designs.
The module is designed to sit between the sensor board and the display board
within the electric meter. When a Zigbee module is not installed a ribbon cable
connects the sensor and display. In the case when the module is installed the
module is connected between the sensor and display, to give the electric meter
Zigbee functionality.

2.0 Installation of the module within an electric meter
First remove the meter outer cover.
Carefully remove the meter inner cover.
Disconnect the ribbon cable from the sensor pcb.
Insert the Zigbee board into the connector that the display ribbon has been
disconnected from.
Insert the free end of the ribbon cable into the connector on the Zigbee module
as shown in Figure 1.
Add the jumper (short) to position J202 on the sensor board, as shown in Figure
2.

Appendix A General Statements
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved
by Sensus USA could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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 instruction, may 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.

Appendix B RF Energy Health Hazard
B RF Energy Health HazardB RF Energy Health Hazard
B RF Energy Health Hazard
Please pay attention to the following warnings:
When servicing equipment and selecting a location for the In-Line ZigbeeModule, it is important to
note that a minimum distance of 20 cm (7.9 inches) is required between personnel and ZigBee
Antenna to comply with a radio-frequency exposure limit of 1.0mW/cm
2
.
Professional installation required. The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio
frequency transmitters. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a
directional antenna may pose a health hazard. The ZigBee Module integrated antenna is rated at
a maximum of 0dBi.
