FCC and Industry Canada Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER APPROVAL, DA 00-1407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements for devices containing a modular transmitter. Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1 or Contains FCC ID:

XYZMODEL1. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 23 December 2015 Silver Spring Networks 7 NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Industry Canada Government Guidelines application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The following is an extract from RSS-GEN, General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radio Apparatus, Section 3.2.1, describing labeling requirements for a host device integrating a radio module. The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device. The Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the Industry Canada certification number of the module, preceded by the words Contains transmitter module, or the word Contains, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:

Contains transmitter module IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY where XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY is the modules certification number. Lextrait suivant provient du Cahier des charges sur les normes radiolectriques (CNR);

exigences gnrales et information relatives la certification des appareils radio, section 3.2.1, et dcrit les exigences en matire dtiquetage pour un dispositif hte intgrant un module radio. Le dispositif hte doit tre correctement tiquet afin didentifier les modules quil comprend. Ltiquette de certification Industrie Canada dun module doit toujours tre bien visible lors de linstallation sur un dispositif hte. Dans le cas contraire, le dispositif hte doit tre tiquet de faon afficher le numro de certification Industrie Canada du module, prcd de lexpression Contains transmitter module ou du mot Contains , ou dune formulation similaire ayant la mme signification. Par exemple :

Contains transmitter module IC : XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY o XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYY reprsente le numro de certification du module. The applicant for equipment certification of the module shall provide with each unit of the module either a label such as described above, or an explanation and instructions to the user as to the host device labelling requirements.

Antenna types Antenna Type Omni Directional Wrap Around 900 MHz Gain (dBi) 3 1 2.4 GHz Gain (dBi) 4.5 3.5 Antenna Impedance 50 50 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 radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformment la rglementation dIndustrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne dun type et dun gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour lmetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique lintention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type dantenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas lintensit ncessaire ltablissement dune communication satisfaisante. Safety Information XXX WARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines. Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take chances!

Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer associated with the procedures in this manual. The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA and NFPA standards. NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 23 December 2015 Silver Spring Networks 9 NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 2 FCC and Industry Canada Government Guidelines The information contained in this document is intended to aid qualified personnel, and is not a replacement for the proper training required to make a person qualified. Silver Spring Networks assumes no liability for the customers failure to follow these safety guidelines. General Electrical Safety Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace standards established by the following agencies:

Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA-70). National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA). American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de-energize all circuits or equipment before working on them. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all unqualified persons at all times. Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who tend to be drawn to work activity. Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been de-

energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or from another source. 120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body depends upon the bodys resistance. Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock. Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order. Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be ignited by an arc flash. Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries. Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what you are doing. Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor. Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly. NIC 510 and Meter Labeling Product Requirements 23 December 2015 Silver Spring Networks 10
