QUICK GUIDE
FlexNet® SmartPoint® Module
for Aclara kV2c
Quick Guide
The Sensus FlexNet™ SmartPoint® module provides
wireless communication capability to electric utility meters.
The Aclara kV2c commercial and industrial meter provides
reliable and accurate revenue metering combined with
advanced real-time instrumentation, true power quality
monitoring and real cost of service measurements.
Technical Overview
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 FlexNet network enhances the kV2c
meter by providing AMI capability.
The FlexNet SmartPoint module is a printed circuit board which provides
wireless communication capability to the Aclara kV2c electric meter. The
SmartPoint module interrogates the meter registers on a programmable
interval from five minutes to daily readings. The SmartPoint module
then transmits the meter consumption and status information at regular
intervals.
The module mounts into the existing kV2c meter and acts as a “third
party AMR board.” It is designed to mount mechanically into the meter
with no additional mechanical modification required.
The 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.

Warnings & Hazards
Warning
Sensus devices are for professional installation only. They
are to be serviced by professional personnel only. This
product is NOT for consumer installation or servicing.
Warning
The antenna used for this transmitter must not be colocated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
ATTENTION
Note: 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 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
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the FCC RF exposure limit for transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20cm (7.9 inches)
or more should be maintained while operating the
Sensus FLEXKV2C. 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.
RADIATION HAZARD
In order to satisfy the ISED RF exposure limit for transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20cm (7.9
inches) or more should be maintained while operating
the Sensus FLEXKV2C. 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.
An de satisfaire à la limite d’exposition RF pour les appareils de transmission, une distance de séparation de
20cm (7.9 pouces) ou plus doit être maintenu pendant
le fonctionnement du Sensus FLEXKV2C. Pour assurer
la conformité, un fonctionnement à distance inférieure à
celle est pas recommandée. Cette distance minimale de
sécurité est nécessaire entre le personnel et l’antenne de
cet appareil.
ATTENTION
Any modications made to this device that are not approved by Sensus may void the authority granted to the
user by the FCC to operate equipment.
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
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
ATTENTION
This device complies with Industry Canada licenseexempt 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 présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie
Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Warnings & Hazards
ATTENTION
This radio transmitter the Sensus FLEXKV2C 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 présent émetteur radio (Sensus FLEXKV2C) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les
types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain
admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque
type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans
cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal
indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de
l’émetteur.
Dipole with a -0.47dBi gain
ATTENTION
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.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada,
le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une
antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le
but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satis-
faisante.
ATTENTION
ICES-003 Class B Notice—Avis NMB-003, Class B
