AMR/utility applications. The E-Reg
can be deployed on any Metron
Spectrum or Enduro model and can be
configured for USG, Ft3 or m3 billing
units.

E-Reg Packaging
The E-Reg is housed in a
polycarbonate shell with multiple levels
of waterproofing.
The housing is assembled with a UVcure adhesive which provides the first
level of environmental protection. The
register and radio electronics are 100%
encapsulated in a dielectric gel for
100% moisture protection. Finally, all
cable entry/exit points are sealed with
gel grommets to protect against longterm moisture penetration.

The product label indicates a model
number with a corresponding the FCC
identifier.

INSTALLATION & WIRING
Installation
The E-Reg is designed for all environments and can be installed either in indoor or
outdoor environments. The register is attached to the Metron water meter with a
plastic housing as shown below.
2
Step 1
Fit the E-Reg inside the bottom housing as shown. The tabs will keep the E-Reg
from slipping downward.
Step 2
Place the top housing over the E-Reg and press downward until the top housing
clicks into place.
2
Step 3
Start the screw into the separate slide crimp as shown below. The slide crimp will
secure the bottom and top housings together. Do not fully tighten the screw at this
point.
Step 4
Place the E-Reg assembly on the water meter. Any MP3 or MP5 meter will have
either a brass or plastic register plate for the attachment.
2
Step 5
Once the E-Reg assembly is loosely attached to the water meter, continue tightening
the screw. The tightening will contract the bottom housing so the assembly is
securely attached to the water meter.
2
Radio Option
The E-Reg can be supplied with a optional M2w radio (E-Reg-R). This radio will be
fully embedded within the E-Reg housing. The antenna is an integral circuit board
that extends approximately 1 inch above the face of the E-Reg.
There are no connections or wiring for the embedded M2w radio.

BATTERY
The E-Reg has a battery with an
anticipated battery life of 15 years
Battery Specifications
Mfg:
Vitzrocell
Type:
Thionyl Lithium Chloride
Size:
D-cell
Capacity: 19.0 A-hr
Battery Life
All battery calculations include a
environmental impact factor and use
a baseline of regular function usage
(PDA reads, datalogging, etc.)
With the optional M2w radio, the EReg’s transmit period is directly
related to the battery life of the radio.
The RF transmission is the largest
power consumer and thus drives
battery life.
Check with Transparent
Technologies for a detailed battery
life calculation based on specific
configurations.

APPENDIX
FCC Information
Information to user. - The users manual or
instruction manual for an intentional or
unintentional radiator shall caution the user
that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
Special accessories.
(a) Equipment marketed to a consumer
must be capable of complying with the
necessary regulations in the configuration
in which the equipment is marketed.
Where special accessories, such as shielded
cables and/or special connectors, are
required to enable an unintentional or
intentional radiator to comply with the
emission limits in this part, the equipment
must be marketed with, i.e., shipped and
sold with, those special accessories.
However, in lieu of shipping or packaging
the
special
accessories
with
the
unintentional or intentional radiator, the
responsible party may employ other
methods of ensuring that the special
accessories are provided to the consumer,
without additional charge, at the time of
purchase.
Information detailing any
alternative method used to supply the
special accessories shall be included in the
application for a grant of equipment
authorization or retained in the verification
records, as appropriate.
The party responsible for the equipment, as
detailed in §2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure
that these special accessories are provided with
the equipment. The instruction manual for such
devices shall include appropriate instructions on
the first page of the text concerned with the
installation of the device that these special
accessories must be used with the device. It is
the responsibility of the user to use the needed
special accessories supplied with the equipment.
(b) If a device requiring special accessories is
installed by or under the supervision of the
party marketing the device, it is the
responsibility of that party to install the
equipment using the special accessories. For
equipment requiring professional installation, it
is not necessary for the responsible party to
market the special accessories with the
equipment. However, the need to use the
special accessories must be detailed in the
instruction manual, and it is the responsibility
of the installer to provide and to install the
required accessories.
(c) Accessory items that can be readily
obtained from multiple retail outlets are not
considered to be special accessories and are not
required to be marketed with the equipment.
The manual included with the equipment must
specify what additional components or
accessories are required to be used in order to
ensure compliance with this part, and it is the
responsibility of the user to provide and use
those components and accessories.
(d)
The resulting system, including any
accessories or components marketed with the
equipment, must comply with the regulations.

FCC Definitions
Class A digital device. A digital device
that is marketed for use in a commercial,
industrial or business environment,
exclusive of a device which is marketed for
use by the general public or is intended to
be used in the home.
Class B digital device. A digital device
that is marketed for use in a residential
environment notwithstanding use in
commercial, business and industrial
environments. Examples of such devices
include, but are not limited to, personal
computers, calculators, and similar
electronic devices that are marketed for use
by the general public.
NOTE: The responsible party may also
qualify a device intended to be marketed
in a commercial, business or industrial
environment as a Class B device, and in
fact is encouraged to do so, provided the
device complies with the technical
specifications for a Class B digital
device. In the event that a particular type
of device has been found to repeatedly
cause harmful interference to radio
communications, the Commission may
classify such a digital device as a Class B
digital device, regardless of its intended
use.
For a Class A digital device or peripheral,
the instructions furnished the user shall
include the following or similar statement,
placed in a prominent location in the text of
the manual:
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the
instructions furnished the user shall include the
following or similar statement, placed in a
prominent location in the text of the manual:
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.
The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section do not apply to digital devices exempted
from the technical standards under the
provisions of §15.103.
