Transmitter Certification Test Report FCC ID: SDBAMDS1000TR-1 FCC Rule Part: Part 24D, 90, and 101 ACS Report Number: 05-0052-LD Manufacturer: AMDS. Equipment Type: Electricity Meter Transmitter Model: AMDS-1000TR-1 Manual 5015 B.U. Bowman Drive Buford, GA 30518 USA Voice: 770-831-8048 Fax: 770-831-8598 AMDS iCon AMR Electric Meter Installation Guidelines Draft Copy INTRODUCTION:

The following document briefly describes the installation of an AMDS iCon Transceiver equipped power meter. The scope of the document is to describe how to program the meter after proper installation by trained utility company technicians or licensed electricians. THIS METER IS ONLY TO BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL!

PROCEDURE:

Confirm that the meter has been installed by a qualified entity or individual. Turn on the hand-held meter-programming device. (The customized programming device supplied by utility). Select Program Electric Meter when prompted by the meter-programming device. Using the wand attached to the meter-programming device, read the bar code on the front of the power meter (see figure 1 for location). Pass the wand from left to right over the bar code. A successful read will result in a short beep sound being generated from the meter-programming device. After a successful bar code read (i.e. the meter-programming device beeped) the meter-programming device will prompt the operator to program device with magnetic loop. The magnetic loop is in the wand attached to the meter-

programming device also. Looking directly at the meter, and mentally superimposing the hands of a clock on the meter face for reference, place the meter-programming wand at the 3:00 position of the meter face, on the side of the plastic meter cover, touching the plastic meter cover with the wand. (See photograph below). Select Program on the meter-programming device display. The meter-

programming device will again beep when the meter has been programmed. Contact your supervisor for confirmation of meter operation. FCC INFORMATION:
