Each Badger Meter encoder is clearly identified on the face of the register with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. SE/ME Endpoint (Medium Gray) CE RTR Endpoint (Black) CE ADE Endpoint (Light Gray) Recordall Transmitter Register (RTR) Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE) Figure 1: Endpoints and Encoders Page 6 11-11 Installation Data Network Endpoint Installation When installing an SE or ME (used with a network gateway transceiver) or CE (used with an ORION 4.0 or 2.0 gateway receiver) endpoint in a pit, the endpoint must be mounted through the lid of a non-metal pit lid for maximum propagation of the radio signal. If the endpoint is being installed indoors, a wired radio endpoint should be mounted on the outside of the building or in the floor joist near the outside wall of the building, and away from large metal objects for maximum propagation of the radio signal. Splicing Considerations For non-submerged indoor and outdoor applications where splicing is necessary, splice connections together and wrap any cables inside the base of the housing. Splice connections made in pit environments require a pit field splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately. Please refer to RTR-I-15 for field splice kit installation instructions. ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter encoder require no splicing. Only the mounting of the encoder to the meter and tightening the TORX seal screw is necessary. For all installations, excess wire should be coiled and cable tied to avoid any damage. ORION Installation Kit Part Numbers*

Figure 17: Endpoint Positioning Page 16 11-11 Installation Data Wiring a Universal Endpoint Universal Endpoint Identification The ORION Universal endpoint is available in a three-wire pit or remote endpoint configuration for connection to Sensus ICETM and ECR II, Neptune ProRead and E-Coder, Elster AMCo ScanCoder , Hersey and Metron Translator encoder registers. All ORION Universal endpoints are shipped from the factory pre-programmed and can be connected to any compatible encoder. Electronic readings broadcast from the ORION Universal endpoint contain the active number wheels programmed into the encoder, with a maximum of six digits. The ORION system offers connectivity to any of the mechanical/absolute encoder registers listed above, ten years old or newer, as long as the encoder is programmed into the three-wire output mode for AMR and has three wires connected to it. Encoder registers that are currently in two-wire mode of operation require programming by the Utility, including registers that support auto two or three-wire detection systems that do not automatically switch to three-wire mode of operation once a compatible endpoint is connected for ORION connectivity. To identify an ORION pit or remote Universal 1 endpoint, Univ has been added to the end of the ORION serial number. In addition, all Universal endpoints are shipped factory programmed in a sleep mode with a standard cable (10 feet for remotes and three feet for pit applications) for connection to a compatible Sensus, Neptune, Hersey or Elster AMCo encoder. ORION Universal endpoints begin broadcasting their readings as soon as they are awakened, either by running consumption through the encoder it is connected to or by using the infrared communication program on the ORION reading equipment. If the endpoint is awakened by running consumption, note that it may take several hours for the ORION Universal endpoint to begin broadcasting. This is due to the ORION Universal endpoint update schedule, which has the endpoint updating its reading from the encoder once an hour. Required Splice Tools Wire Cutter Not shown; customer-supplied Gel Splice Crimping Tool 59983-001 Coax Wire Stripper 59989-001 Wiring the ORION Universal Endpoint to an Encoder The ORION Universal endpoint is a three-wire metering endpoint device that requires connection to an encoder to complete the assembly. All three wires must be connected to complete an installation. The ORION Universal endpoint connection can be made to either existing wires from the encoder or directly to the terminal screws of the encoder, depending on the application and manufacturer. If making a connection to existing wires use the installation kit provided and follow these steps. 1. To connect an encoder with existing wires to a ORION Universal endpoint, strip approximately 1-1/2 inches of outer insulation sheath from the encoder and endpoint cables using the stripping tool. We recommend using part number 59989-001 Coax Stripper. Use caution when removing the outer sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not nicked or damaged. 2. Unwind the outer foil shield from the endpoint cable and cut it off evenly with the outer sheath using a cutting device. 11-11 Page 17 ORION Water Endpoint 3. Using the charts below, connect the ORION Universal 1 endpoint to an approved encoder according to the following guidelines. Verify the endpoint serial number prior to completing the wiring set up. Due to the customized, factory wire configurations of the Hersey Translator, please contact Hersey to determine the terminal post wiring schematic for your encoders. When the terminal post information is determined, use the Sensus ECR 11, OCE wiring directions below. NOTE: The terminal posts and wire colors may not match.

*A separate ORION CE endpoint is available for connectivity to the Neptune ARB-V encoder. 4. Connect the encoder cable wires to the ORION Universal endpoint wires using the insulation gel connectors provided in the installation kit. Refer to the chart to determine which wires need to be connected to complete an installation. Do not strip any insulation from the ends of the wires before you push them into the connector. 5. Push the wires that are to be connected together as far as possible into the connector. Figure 18: Wires In Connector Page 18 11-11 6. Using the required Gel Splice Crimping Tool (59983-001), place the connector with the wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Installation Data Figure 19: Connector in Crimping Tool Crimp the connector by squeezing the handles until the connector is completely compressed. The crimp tool is designed to prevent applying too much pressure to the gel cap. Continue to apply pressure for three seconds. Figure 20: Compress Connector 7. Attach the two plastic cable ties and tighten securely for strain relief. Snip off the excess cable tie with the wire cutter. For remote installations, the connection is complete. Snipped Wire Ties Gel Cap Connectors Figure 21: Wire Tie Attachment Locations NOTE: For pit installations, it is advisable to test the connections before completing step 8. 8. For pit installations, place all three connected wires with gel caps into the field splice tube provided in the installation kit. Make sure the wires with gel caps are inserted as far as possible into the field splice tube. Close the field splice tube. The connection is now complete. Testing the Wire Connections The connection of the encoder and ORION Universal endpoint can be tested using an ORION data collector. It is recommended that all wiring connections be tested while on site. To test, set the data collector into the Quick Read function. Encoder Register Installation Install an RTR or ADE on the water meter and secure it using either the TORX screw or standard seal screw provided. RTR Endpoint Once the Pit ORION endpoint is securely installed and the RTR is mounted on the water meter, the ORION system is ready for operation. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10th of the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR, the endpoint counts the signal and begins its radio frequency transmissions. No specific testing of the wiring or programming of the endpoint is required. Reading each pit endpoint immediately after installation verifies proper operation and reading performance. ORION reading equipment only can be used to read installed ORION endpoints. 11-11 Page 19 ADE Endpoint After the ADE is assembled to the meter and the ORION endpoint is installed, the endpoint is ready for operation. Using a handheld or a mobile laptop confirms that the endpoint wiring has been done correctly and that the endpoint is broadcasting RF data for reading. When allowing the endpoint to turn on via consumption, the endpoint requires two hourly reading intervals where consumption has changed the electronic reading. For example, on a six-dial ADE, the ADE must detect consumption of 10 gallons over two, separate hourly reading periods before the endpoint will begin broadcasting read data. In either case, no specific testing or programming of the endpoint is required. Reading each pit endpoint after it has been installed verifies proper installation and reading performance.

With the exception of the floor, the reflective surfaces of the shielded chamber are lined with ferrite tiles on the walls and ceiling. Anechoic absorber material is installed over the ferrite tile. The floor of the chamber is used as the ground plane. The chamber complies with ANSI C63.4-2009 for site attenuation. 4.2 Test Instrumentation The test instrumentation and auxiliary equipment used during the tests are listed in Table 9-1. Conducted emission tests were performed with a spectrum analyzer in conjunction with a quasi-peak adapter. Radiated emissions were performed with a spectrum analyzer. This receiver allows measurements with the Page 6 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 bandwidths specified by the FCC and with the quasi-peak and average detector functions. 4.3 Calibration Traceability Test equipment is maintained and calibrated on a regular basis. All calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). 4.4 Measurement Uncertainty All measurements are an estimate of their true value. The measurement uncertainty characterizes, with a specified confidence level, the spread of values which may be possible for a given measurement system.

RADIATION LIMITS FOR A RECEIVER Frequency MHz 30-88 88-216 216-960 Above 960 Distance between EUT And Antenna in Meters 3 3 3 3 Field Strength uV/m 100 150 200 500 Field Strength dBuV/m 40 43.5 46 54 Note: The tighter limit shall apply at the edge between the two frequency bands. Page 7 of 113 5.1.2.2 Procedures Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 All tests were performed in a 32ft. x 20ft. x 18ft. hybrid ferrite-tile/anechoic absorber lined test chamber. The walls and ceiling of the shielded chamber are lined with ferrite tiles. Anechoic absorber material is installed over the ferrite tile. The floor of the chamber is used as the ground plane. The chamber complies with ANSI C63.4-2009 for site attenuation. The shielded enclosure prevents emissions from other sources, such as radio and TV stations from interfering with the measurements. All powerlines and signal lines entering the enclosure pass through filters on the enclosure wall. The powerline filters prevent extraneous signals from entering the enclosure on these leads. Since a quasi-peak detector and an average detector require long integration times, it is not practical to automatically sweep through the quasi-peak and average levels. Therefore, radiated emissions from the EUT were first scanned using a peak detector and automatically plotted. The frequencies where significant emission levels were noted were then remeasured using the quasi-peak detector or average detector. The broadband measuring antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. The frequency range from 30MHz to 1GHz was investigated using a peak detector function with the bilog antenna at several heights, horizontal and vertical polarization, and with several different orientations of the EUT with respect to the antenna. The frequency range from 1GHz to 5GHz was investigated using a peak detector function with the double ridged waveguide antenna at several heights, horizontal and vertical polarization, and with several different orientations of the EUT with respect to the antenna. The maximum levels for each antenna polarization were plotted. The resultant field strength (FS) is a summation in decibels (dB) of the receiver meter reading (MTR), the antenna correction factor (AF), and the cable loss factor (CF). If an external pre-amplifier is used, the total is reduced by its gain (-PA). If a distance correction (DC) is required, it is added to the total. Formula 1: FS (dBuV/m) = MTR (dBuV) + AF (dB/m) + CF (dB) + (- PA (dB)) + DC (dB) To convert the Field Strength dBuV/m term to uV/m, the dBuV/m is first divided by 20. The Base 10 AntiLog is taken of this quotient. The result is the Field Strength value in uV/m terms. Formula 2: FS (uV/m) = AntiLog [(FS (dBuV/m))/20]

Final radiated emissions were performed on all significant broadband and narrowband emissions found in the preliminary sweeps using the following methods:

1) Measurements from 30MHz to 1GHz were made using a quasi-peak detector and a broadband bilog antenna. Measurements above 1GHz were made using an average detector and a broadband double ridged waveguide antenna. 2) To ensure that maximum or worst case, emission levels were measured, the following steps were taken:

a) The EUT was rotated so that all of its sides were exposed to the receiving antenna. b) Since the measuring antenna is linearly polarized, both horizontal and vertical field components were measured. c) The measuring antenna was raised and lowered from 1 to 4 meters for each antenna polarization to maximize the readings. d) For hand-held or body-worn devices, the EUT was rotated through three orthogonal axes to determine which orientation produces the highest emission relative to the limit. 5.1.2.3 Results The preliminary plots with the EUT operated in the Receive at 904.9MHz mode are presented on pages 22 through 25. The plots are presented for a reference only, and are not used to determine compliance. The final radiated levels are presented on pages 26 and 27. As can be seen from the data, all emissions measured from Page 8 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 the EUT were within the specification limits. The preliminary plots with the EUT operated in the Receive at 914.5MHz mode are presented on pages 28 through 31. The plots are presented for a reference only, and are not used to determine compliance. The final radiated levels are presented on pages 32 and 33. As can be seen from the data, all emissions measured from the EUT were within the specification limits. The preliminary plots with the EUT operated in the Receive at 924.5MHz mode are presented on pages 34 through 37. The plots are presented for a reference only, and are not used to determine compliance. The final radiated levels are presented on pages 38 and 39. As can be seen from the data, all emissions measured from the EUT were within the specification limits. Photographs of the test configuration which yielded the highest or worst case, radiated emission levels are shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3. 5.2 Transmitter 5.2.1 Powerline Conducted Emissions 5.2.1.1 Requirements Since the EUT was powered by an internal battery, no conducted emissions tests were performed. 5.2.2 20dB Bandwidth 5.2.2.1 Requirements Per 15.247(a)(1), Frequency hopping systems shall have hopping channel carrier frequencies separated by a minimum of 25 kHz or the 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel, whichever is greater. Per section 15.247(a)(1)(i), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band, the 20dB bandwidth shall be measured for determination of the carrier frequency separation limits and must not exceed 500 kHz. If the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is less than 250kHz, the system shall use at least 50 hopping channels. If the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 250kHz or greater (but not greater than 500kHz), the system shall use at least 25 hopping channels. 5.2.2.2 Procedures The EUT was setup inside the chamber. With the hopping function disabled, the EUT was allowed to transmit continuously. The frequency hopping channel was set separately to low, middle, and high hopping channels. The resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to 1% of the 20 dB BW. The span was set to approximately 2 to 3 times the 20 dB bandwidth. The 'Max-Hold' function was engaged. The analyzer was allowed to scan until the envelope of the transmitter bandwidth was defined. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 5.2.2.3 Results The plots on pages 40 through 42 show that the maximum 20 dB bandwidth was 138.28kHz for Fixed mode. The 99% bandwidth was measured to be 116.23kHz for Fixed mode. Therefore, since the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is less than 250kHz, the system shall use at least 50 hopping channels in the Fixed mode. The plots on pages 43 through 45 show that the maximum 20 dB bandwidth was 296.59kHz for Mobile mode. The 99% bandwidth was measured to be 290.58kHz for Fixed mode. Therefore, since the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 250kHz or greater, but not greater than 500kHz, the system shall use at least 25 hopping channels in the Mobile mode. Page 9 of 113 5.2.3 Carrier Frequency Separation 5.2.3.1 Requirements Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 Per section 15.247 (a)(1), frequency hopping systems shall have hopping channel carrier frequencies separated by a minimum of 25kHz or the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel, whichever is greater. 5.2.3.2 Procedures The EUT was setup inside the chamber. With the hopping function enabled, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to > to 1% of the span. The peak detector and 'Max-Hold' function were engaged. The span was set wide enough to capture the peaks of at least two adjacent channels. When the trace had stabilized after multiple scans, the marker-delta function was used to determine the separation between the peaks of the adjacent channels. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 5.2.3.3 Results Page 46 shows the carrier frequency separation for Fixed mode. As can be seen from this plot, the carrier frequency separation is 400.55kHz, which is greater than the 20dB bandwidth (138.28kHz) for Fixed mode. Page 47 shows the carrier frequency separation for Mobile mode. As can be seen from this plot, the carrier frequency separation is 400kHz, which is greater than the 20dB bandwidth (296.59kHz) for Mobile mode. 5.2.4 Number of Hopping Frequencies 5.2.4.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(a)(1)(i), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band, the 20dB bandwidth shall be measured for determination of the carrier frequency separation limits and must not exceed 500 kHz. If the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is less than 250kHz, the system shall use at least 50 hopping channels. If the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 250kHz or greater (but not greater than 500kHz), the system shall use at least 25 hopping channels. 5.2.4.2 Procedures The EUT was setup inside the chamber. With the hopping function enabled, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to to 1% of the span. The peak detector and 'Max-Hold' function were engaged. The span was set wide enough to capture the entire frequency band of operation. The EUTs signal was allowed to stabilize after multiple scans. The number of hopping frequencies was counted. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 5.2.4.3 Results Page 48 shows the number of hopping frequencies for Fixed mode. As can be seen from this plot, the number of hopping frequencies is 50 which is the minimum number of required hopping frequencies for systems with a 20dB bandwidth less than 250kHz. Page 49 shows the number of hopping frequencies. As can be seen from this plot, the number of hopping frequencies is 48 which is greater than 25 which is the minimum number of required hopping frequencies for systems with a 20dB bandwidth greater than 250kHz. 5.2.5 Time of Occupancy 5.2.5.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(a)(1)(i), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band, if the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is less than 250kHz, the system shall use at least 50 hopping frequencies and the average time of occupancy on any frequency shall not be greater than 0.4 seconds within a 20 second period. Page 10 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 For frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band, if the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 250kHz or greater, the system shall use at least 25 hopping frequencies and the average time of occupancy on any frequency shall not be greater than 0.4 seconds within a 10 second period. 5.2.5.2 Procedures The EUT was setup inside the chamber. With the hopping function enabled in Fixed mode, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to 1 MHz. With the span set to 0Hz, the sweep time was adjusted to capture a single event in order to measure the dwell time per hop. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. Then, the sweep time was expanded to 20 seconds to show the number of hops that occur in a 20 second period. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. The EUT was setup inside the chamber. With the hopping function enabled in Mobile mode, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to 1 MHz. With the span set to 0Hz, the sweep time was adjusted to capture a single event in order to measure the dwell time per hop. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. Then, the sweep time was expanded to 10 seconds to show the number of hops that occur in a 10 second period. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 5.2.5.3 Results Pages 50 and 51 show the plots for the time of occupancy for Fixed mode. As can be seen from the plots, the time of occupancy can be determined by (dwell time/hop = 58.51msec) multiplied by (# of hops = 6). This calculated value is equal to 0.351sec seconds which is less than the 0.4 seconds maximum allowed. Pages 52 and 53 show the plots for the time of occupancy for Mobile mode. As can be seen from the plots, the time of occupancy can be determined by (dwell time/hop = 10.6msec) multiplied by (# of hops = 2). This calculated value is equal to 0.0212sec seconds which is less than the 0.4 seconds maximum allowed. 5.2.6 Peak Conducted Output Power 5.2.6.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(b)(2), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band and employing at least 50 hopping channels, the maximum peak output conducted power shall not be greater than 1W (30dBm). For frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band and employing less than 50 hopping channels, but at least 25 hopping channels, the maximum peak output conducted power shall not be greater than 0.25W (24dBm). 5.2.6.2 Procedures The output of the EUT was connected to the spectrum analyzer through 40dB of attenuation. With the hopping function disabled, the EUT was allowed to transmit continuously. The frequency hopping channel was set separately to low, middle, and high hopping channels. The resolution bandwidth (RBW) was set to greater than the 20dB bandwidth. The span was set to approximately 5 times the 20 dB bandwidth. The 'Max-Hold' function was engaged. The maximum meter reading was recorded. The peak power output was calculated for the low, middle and high hopping frequencies. 5.2.6.3 Results Pages 54 through 56 show the peak conducted output power for Fixed mode. The maximum peak conducted output power from the transmitter in Fixed mode was 28.54dBm (714.5mW) which is below the 1 Watt limit. Pages 57 through 59 show the peak conducted output power for Mobile mode. The maximum peak conducted output power from the transmitter in Mobile mode was 10.37dBm (10.89mW) which is below the 0.25 Watt limit. 5.2.7 Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) 5.2.7.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(b)(2), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band and employing at Page 11 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 least 50 hopping channels, the maximum peak output conducted power shall not be greater than 1W (30dBm). Per section 15.247(b)(4), this limit is based on the use of antennas with directional gains that do not exceed 6dBi. Since the limit allows for a 6dBi antenna gain, the maximum EIRP can be increased by 6dB to 4 Watt (36dBm). If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the conducted output power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below 30dBm by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. Per section 15.247(b)(2), for frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928MHz band and employing less than 50 hopping channels, but at least 25 hopping channels, the maximum peak output conducted power shall not be greater than 0.25W (24dBm). Per section 15.247(b)(4), this limit is based on the use of antennas with directional gains that do not exceed 6dBi. Since the limit allows for a 6dBi antenna gain, the maximum EIRP can be increased by 6dB to 1 Watt (30dBm). If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the conducted output power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below 24dBm by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. 5.2.7.2 Procedures The EUT was placed on the non-conductive stand and set to transmit. A bilog antenna wass placed at a test distance of 3 meters from the EUT. The resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer was set to greater than the 20dB bandwidth. The span was set to approximately 5 times the 20 dB bandwidth. The EUT was maximized for worst case emissions (or maximum output power) at the measuring antenna. The maximum meter reading was recorded. The peak power output was measured for the low, middle and high hopping frequencies. The equivalent power was determined from the field intensity levels measured at 3 meters using the substitution method. To determine the emission power, a dipole antenna was then set in place of the EUT and connected to a calibrated signal generator. The output of the signal generator was adjusted to match the received level at the spectrum analyzer. The signal level was recorded. The reading was then corrected to compensate for cable loss, as required. The peak power output was calculated for low, middle, and high hopping frequencies. 5.2.7.3 Results Page 60 shows the EIRP for Fixed mode. The maximum EIRP in Fixed mode was 31.6dBm (1.45W) which is below the 4W limit. Page 6160 shows the EIRP for Mobile mode. The maximum EIRP in Fixed mode was 11.7dBm (14.8mW) which is below the 1W limit. 5.2.8 Duty Cycle Factor Measurements 5.2.8.1 Requirements Unless otherwise specified, when the radiated emission limits are expressed in terms of the average value of the emission, and pulsed operation is employed, the measurement field strength shall be determined by averaging over one complete pulse train, including blanking intervals, as long as the pulse train does not exceed 0.1 seconds. As an alternative (provided the transmitter operates for longer than 0.1 seconds) or in cases where the pulse train exceeds 0.1 seconds, the measured field strength shall be determined from the average absolute voltage during a 0.1 second interval during which the field strength is at its maximum value. The exact method of calculating the average field strength shall be submitted with any application for certification or shall be retained in the measurement data file for equipment subject to notification or verification. 5.2.8.2 Procedures a. b. c. d. The EUT was placed on the non-conductive stand and set to transmit continuously with hopping enabled. A bilog antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. The output of the antenna was connected to the input of a spectrum analyzer. The center frequency of the spectrum analyzer was set to a single hopping channel frequency of the EUT. The frequency span of the spectrum analyzer was set to 0Hz so that the time domain trace of the transmitted pulse of the EUT was displayed on the spectrum analyzer. Page 12 of 113 e. f. g. h. i. j. k. Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 The sweep time of the spectrum analyzer was adjusted so that the beginning and end of a single pulse could be seen on the display of the spectrum analyzer. The single sweep function of the spectrum analyzer was used multiple times to determine the maximum pulse width of the EUT. The maximum pulse width display of the spectrum analyzer was recorded and then plotted using a

'screen dump' utility. The sweep time of the spectrum analyzer was then adjusted to 100msec. The single sweep function of the spectrum analyzer was used multiple times to determine the maximum number of transmitted pulses that occurred in a 100msec time period. The maximum number of pulses transmitted in a 100msec time period was recorded and then plotted using a screen dump utility. The duty cycle correction was calculated using the following equation:

Duty Cycle Correction Factor (dB) = D.C. (dB) D.C. (dB) = 20 x log [((pulse width (msec)) x (#pulses in a 100msecperiod)) / 100msec]

5.2.8.3 Results Pages 62 and 63 show the duty cycle plots for mobile mode. The EUT transmits a 10.62msec pulse 1 time in a 100msec period. This results in a duty cycle correction factor of -19.48dB. (No duty cycle factor was determined for fixed mode.) 5.2.9 Radiated Spurious Emissions Measurements 5.2.9.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(d), in any 100kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum or digitally modulated intentional radiator is operating, the radio frequency power that is produced by the intentional radiator shall be at least 20 dB below that in the 100kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of the desired power, based on either an RF conducted or a radiated emissions measurement. Attenuation below the general limits specified in 15.209(a) is not required. In addition, radiated emissions which fall in the restricted bands, as defined in 15.205(a), must comply with the radiated emission limits specified in 15.209(a). Radiated emissions which fall in the restricted bands, as defined in 15.205(a), must comply with the radiated emission limits specified in 15.209(a). Paragraph 15.209(a) has the following radiated emission limits:

Frequency MHz 0.009-0.490 0.490-1.705 1.705-30.0 30.0-88.0 88.0-216.0 216.0-960.0 Above 960 Field Strenght

(microvolts/meter) 2400/F(kHz) 24000/F(kHz) 30 100 150 200 500 Measurement distance

(meters) 300 30 3 3 3 3 3 5.2.9.2 Procedures Radiated measurements were performed in a 32ft. x 20ft. x 14ft. high shielded enclosure. The shielded enclosure prevents emissions from other sources, such as radio and TV stations from interfering with the measurements. All powerlines and signal lines entering the enclosure pass through filters on the enclosure wall. The powerline filters prevent extraneous signals from entering the enclosure on these leads. Preliminary radiated emissions tests were performed to determine the emission characteristics of the EUT. For the preliminary test, a broadband measuring antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. The entire frequency range from 30MHz to 10.0GHz was investigated using a peak detector function. Page 13 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 The final open field emission tests were then manually performed over the frequency range of 30MHz to 10.0GHz. 1) For all harmonics not in the restricted bands, the following procedure was used:

a) The field strength of the fundamental was measured using a bilog antenna. The bilog antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. A peak detector with a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz was used on the spectrum analyzer. b) The field strengths of all of the harmonics not in the restricted band were then measured using either a bilog antenna (for emission below 1GHz) or a double-ridged waveguide antenna (for emissions above 1GHz). The antennas were positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. A peak detector with a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz was used on the spectrum analyzer. c) To ensure that maximum or worst case emission levels at the fundamental and harmonics were measured, the following steps were taken when measuring the fundamental emissions and the spurious emissions:

i) The EUT was rotated so that all of its sides were exposed to the receiving antenna. ii) Since the measuring antenna is linearly polarized, both horizontal and vertical field components were measured. iii) The measuring antenna was raised and lowered for each antenna polarization to maximize the readings. iv) In instances where it was necessary to use a shortened cable between the measuring antenna and the spectrum analyzer. The measuring antenna was not raised or lowered to ensure maximized readings, instead the EUT was rotated through all axis to ensure the maximum readings were recorded for the EUT. d) All harmonics not in the restricted bands must be at least 20 dB below levels measured at the fundamental. However, attenuation below the general limits specified in 15.209(a) is not required. 2) For all emissions in the restricted bands, the following procedure was used:

a) The field strengths of all emissions below 1 GHz were measured using a bilog antenna. The bilog antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. A peak detector with a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz was used on the spectrum analyzer. b) The field strengths of all emissions above 1 GHz were measured using a double-ridged waveguide antenna. The waveguide antenna was positioned at a 3 meter distance from the EUT. A peak detector with a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz was used on the spectrum analyzer. c) To ensure that maximum or worst case emission levels were measured, the following steps were taken when taking all measurements:

i) The EUT was rotated so that all of its sides were exposed to the receiving antenna. ii) Since the measuring antenna is linearly polarized, both horizontal and vertical field components were measured. iii) The measuring antenna was raised and lowered for each antenna polarization to maximize the readings. d) For all radiated emissions measurements below 1 GHz, if the peak reading is below the limits listed in 15.209(a), no further measurements are required. If however, the peak readings exceed the limits listed in 15.209(a), then the emissions are remeasured using a quasi-peak detector. e) For all radiated emissions measurements above 1 GHz, the peak readings must comply with the 15.35(b) limits. 15.35(b) states that when average radiated emissions measurements are specified, there also is a limit on the peak level of the radiated emissions. The limit on the peak radio frequency emissions is 20 dB above the maximum permitted average emission limit applicable to the equipment under test. Therefore, all peak readings above 1 GHz must be no greater than 20 dB above the limits specified in 15.209(a). Page 14 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 f) Next, for all radiated emissions measurements above 1GHz, the resolution bandwidth was set to 1MHz. The analyzer was set to linear mode with a 10Hz video bandwidth in order to simulate an average detector. An average reading was taken. If the dwell time per channel of the hopping signal is less than 100msec, then the reading obtained with the 10 Hz video bandwidth may be further adjusted by a duty cycle correction factor, derived from 20*log(dwell time/100msec). These readings must be no greater than the limits specified in 15.209(a). 5.2.9.3 Results Preliminary radiated emissions plots with the EUT transmitting at Low Frequency, Middle Frequency, and High Frequency, Fixed mode are shown on pages 64 through 75. Final radiated emissions data plots with the EUT transmitting at Low Frequency, Middle Frequency, and High Frequency, Fixed mode are presented on data pages 76 through 84. As can be seen from the data, all emissions measured from the EUT were within the specification limits. The emissions level closet to the limit (worst case) occurred at 4622.50MHz. The emissions level at this frequency was 1.7dB within the limit. Photographs of the test configuration which yielded the highest, or worst case, radiated emission levels are shown on Figures 2 and Figure 3. Preliminary radiated emissions plots with the EUT transmitting at Low Frequency, Middle Frequency, and High Frequency, Mobile mode are shown on pages 85 through 96. Final radiated emissions data plots with the EUT transmitting at Low Frequency, Middle Frequency, and High Frequency, Fixed mode are presented on data pages 97 through 105. As can be seen from the data, all emissions measured from the EUT were within the specification limits. The emissions level closet to the limit

(worst case) occurred at 7316MHz. The emissions level at this frequency was 9.2dB within the limit. Photographs of the test configuration which yielded the highest or worst case, radiated emission levels are shown on Figures 2 and Figure 3. 5.2.10 Band Edge Compliance 5.2.10.1 Requirements Per section 15.247(d), the emissions at the band-edges must be at least 20dB below the highest level measured within the band but attenuation below the general limits listed in 15.209(a) is not required. 5.2.10.2 Procedures 5.2.10.2.1 Low Band Edge 1) The EUT was setup inside the test chamber on a non-conductive stand. 2) A broadband measuring antenna was placed at a test distance of 3 meters from the EUT. 3) The EUT was set to transmit continuously at the channel closest to the low band-edge (hopping function disabled). meter reading was recorded. 4) The EUT was maximized for worst case emissions at the measuring antenna. The maximum 5) To determine the band edge compliance, the following spectrum analyzer settings were used:

a. Center frequency = low band-edge frequency. b. Span = Wide enough to capture the peak level of the emission operating on the channel closest to the band-edge, as well as any modulation products which fall outside of the authorized band of operation. c. Resolution bandwidth (RBW) 1% of the span. d. The 'Max-Hold' function was engaged. The analyzer was allowed to scan until the envelope of the transmitter bandwidth was defined. e. The marker was set on the peak of the in-band emissions. A display line was placed 20dB down from the peak of the in-band emissions. All emissions which fall outside of the authorized band of operation must be below the 20dB down display line. (All emissions to the left of the center frequency (band-edge) must be below the display line.) Page 15 of 113 Engineering Test Report No. 1403397-01 f. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 6) Step 5) was repeated with the frequency hopping function enabled. 5.2.10.2.2 High Band Edge 1) The EUT was setup inside the test chamber on a non-conductive stand. 2) A broadband measuring antenna was placed at a test distance of 3 meters from the EUT. 3) The EUT was set to transmit continuously at the channel closest to the high band-edge (hopping function disabled). 4) The EUT was maximized for worst case emissions at the measuring antenna. 5) To determine the band edge compliance, the following spectrum analyzer settings were used:

a. Center frequency = high band-edge frequency. b. Span = Wide enough to capture the peak level of the emission operating on the channel closest to the band-edge, as well as any modulation products which fall outside of the authorized band of operation. c. Resolution bandwidth (RBW) 1% of the span. d. The 'Max-Hold' function was engaged. The analyzer was allowed to scan until the envelope of the transmitter bandwidth was defined. e. The marker was set on the peak of the in-band emissions. A display line was placed 20dB down from the peak of the in-band emissions. All emissions which fall outside of the authorized band of operation must be below the 20dB down display line. (All emissions to the right of the center frequency (band-edge) must be below the display line.) f. The analyzer's display was plotted using a 'screen dump' utility. 6) Step 5) was repeated with the frequency hopping function enabled. 5.2.10.3 Results Pages 106 through 109 show the radiated band-edge compliance results for fixed mode. As can be seen from these plots, the emissions at the low end band edge and the high end band edge are within the 20 dB down limits for Fixed mode. Pages 110 through 113 show the radiated band-edge compliance results for Mobile mode. As can be seen from these plots, the emissions at the low end band edge and the high end band edge are within the 20 dB down limits for Mobile mode. 6 CONCLUSIONS It was determined that the Badger Meter, Part No. ORION SE3 Endpoint frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver, did fully meet the conducted and radiated emission requirements of the FCC "Code of Federal Regulations" Title 47, Part 15, Subpart B, Sections 15.107 and 15.109 for receivers and Subpart C, Sections 15.207 and 15.247 for Intentional Radiators Operating within the 902-928 MHz band, when tested per ANSI C63.4-2009.
