RES-3000-I210+ / I210+RD / I210+c SecureMesh retrofit for GE I-210+ / I-210+RD / I-210+c / I-210+cRD meters Introduction Safety and Assembly Cautions This document will help the SecureMesh user to retrofit the product model RES-3000-I210+, RES-3000-I210+RD & RES-3000-I210+c in a GE I-210+, GE I-210+RD, GE I-210+c & GE I-210+cRD meter as intended.
- Warning: The meter carries lethal voltages. The meter must be completely disconnected from any external circuits. Failure to observe this practice can result in serious injury or death.
- Caution: These devices are electrostatic sensitive. It is best to use a grounded electrostatic mat and wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge.
- Important: It is not necessary to completely separate the top of the meter from the base of the meter for this retrofit procedure. However, if the two parts are completely disconnected and separated, it is extremely important to keep each meter component together for re-
assembly. This is due to the top section of the meter containing calibration characterization programming for the CTs in the meter base. If these components get mixed up with other meter components, current measurement errors will occur. SecureMesh Radio Specifications:

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
"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."
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. 2. Lutilisateur de lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement.
"Selon les rgles dIndustrie Canada, cet appareil transmetteur radio peut seulement tre en opration avec lutilisation dune antenne de type et dun gain maximum (ou moindre) approuve pour le transmetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour rduire linterfrence potentielle de la radio versus les autres utilisateurs, le type dantenne et son gain devrait tre choisis de faon ce que la puissance isotrope irradie quivalente (e.i.r.p.) ne soit pas suprieure ce qui est requis pour avoir une bonne communication. "
Federal Communication Commission Compliance Statement 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. PA-0115A Rev. 1.4 March 11th, 2011 Page 2 of 6 RES-3000-I210+ / I210+RD / I210+c FCC Warning Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. FCC Interference Statement 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 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 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 from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population /
uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Material GE I-210+ or GE I-210+RD or GE I-210+c or GE I-210+cRD meters (must be AMR configured) Trilliant SecureMesh RES-3000-I210+ or RES-

The following table represents the Trilliant SecureMesh product associated to the GE meter:
RES-3000-I-210+ product must be installed into an I-210+ meter RES-3000-I-210+RD product must be installed into an I-210+RD meter. RES-3000-I-210+c product can be installed into an I-210+c or I-210+cRD meter. 1. If it is not already done, dis-assemble the I-210+ meter clear cover to access the 2 post receptacle holes in the nameplate carrier and the I-210+ board connector as shown.
