meter data collection. The device reads water consumption data from residential and commercial water meters equipped with encoders or solid-state registers. It contains a two-

way radio that is compatible with electric meters, routers, and mesh extenders to relay water consumption data to the utility. It also has a low-power mode for communications to TechStudio field tools. Figure 1. Water 520 Mi.Node/IP Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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 Data Sheet 98-2629 Rev AA | 3 Draft 11.4.2020 A Series 5 Water 520 Mi.Node/IP 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. Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr will void the equipment warranty. Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice This 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 prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil e doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.. 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 d'Industrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour l'metteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage adiolectrique l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas l'intensit ncessaire l'tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante. RF Exposure Information This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Cet quipement est conforme aux limites FCC d'exposition aux radiations dfinies pour un environnement non contrl. Cet quipement doit tre install et utilis une distance minimale de 20cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. Cet metteur ne doit pas tre co-

implants ou exploits en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou metteur. 4 | 98-2629 Rev AA Data Sheet Draft 11.4.2020 A Electrical Characteristics Series 5 Water 520 Mi.Node/IP Battery:
