StratusIQ Quick Guide The Sensus StratusIQ meter is a FlexNet integrated residential meter that includes multiple advanced features. The StratusIQ meter comes in a standard, transformer, or remote disconnect version and is available in a variety of forms. SPECIFICATIONS Technical Overview The StratusIQ meter with the integrated FlexNet module will have a visible label stating the model, FCC, and IC identifications. StratusIQ with FlexNet only:
Contains Model: IDTB005
Contains FCC ID: SDBIDTB005
Contains IC: 2220A-IDTB005 StratusIQ with FlexNet + Zigbee:
Contains Model: IDTB006
Contains FCC ID: SDBIDTB006
Contains IC: 2220A-IDTB006 The StratusIQ meter is a technologically advanced meter with integrated Sensus FlexNet capability. The FlexNet communications network offers a simple, reliable, and secure system that is economical for mass meter deployments, strategic deployments, and rural applications while providing a multi-application solution for all AMI end points. The StratusIQ meter incorporates several hardware modules on a single assembly, including the FlexNet module, a power supply, an antenna, an optical port interface, metering, and LCD display. The FlexNet radio module enables the meter to transmit meter consumption and status information at regular intervals. The FlexNet module communicates via the FlexNet fixed wireless telemetry network to provide electric meter readings and diagnostic data from the meter to the utility provider via radio. The module contains both a receiver and transmitter to allow for two-way communications over the FlexNet network.

They are to be serviced by professional personnel only. This product is NOT for consumer installation or servicing. AT TENTION Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by Sensus may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate equipment. AT TENTION 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 en-
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, 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 form that to which the receiver is connected Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help WARNING If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Sensus representative or dealer and supply the product model number found on the product label. If you cannot determine the rated power out, then assure 3-feet separation from the body to the device. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT RE-
MOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. R ADIATION HA Z ARD In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure limit for transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20cm (7.87 inches) or more should be maintained while operating the Sensus IDTB005 and Sensus IDTB006. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. This minimum safe distance is required between personnel and the antenna of this device. R ADIATION HA Z ARD In order to satisfy the ISED RF exposure limit for transmitting devices, a separation distance of 22cm (8.66 inches) or more should be maintained while operating the Sensus IDTB005 and Sensus IDTB006. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. This minimum safe distance is required between personnel and the antenna of this device. Afin de satisfaire la limite dexposition RF pour les appareils de transmission, une distance de sparation de 22cm (8.66 pouces) ou plus doit tre maintenu pendant le fonctionnement du Sensus IDTB005 et Sensus IDTB006. Pour la conformit, un fonc-
tionnement distance infrieure celle est pas recommande. Cette distance minimale de scurit est ncessaire entre le person-
nel et lantenne de cet appareil. AT TENTION 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 dIndustrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) lutilisateur de lappareil doit ac-
cepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. AT TENTION This radio transmitter the Sensus IDTB005 and Sensus IDTB006 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Le prsent metteur radio (Sensus IDTB005 et Sensus IDTB006) a t approuv par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types dantenne numrs ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et limpdance requise pour chaque type dantenne. Les types dantenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est suprieur au gain maximal indiqu, sont strictement interdits pour lexploitation de lmetteur. Integrated printed monopole with +2dBi WARNING The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. EQG-10008-01 StratusIQ Warnings & Hazards AT TENTION 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 radi-
ated 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.
