FlexNet® SmartPoint® Module for Aclara i210+c
Quick Guide
The Sensus FlexNet™ SmartPoint® module provides wire­less communication capability to electric utility meters. The Aclara i210+c™ meter is an electronic, single-phase or net­work, demand and time-of-use (TOU) electricity meter in­tended primarily for residential applications.
The I-210+c meter with the FlexNet module
will have a visible label containing the follow-
ing information:

Technical Overview
The FlexNet communications network offers a simple, reliable, and secure
system that is economical for mass meter deployments, strategic deploy-
ments, and rural applications while providing a multi-application solution
for all AMI end points. The FlexNet network enhances the i210+c meter by
providing AMI capability.
The FlexNet SmartPoint module is a printed circuit board which provides
wireless communication capability to the Aclara i210+c 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 inter-
vals.
The module mounts into the existing i210+c 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. ey are to be serviced by professional personnel only. is product is NOT for consumer installation or servicing.
WARNING
e antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
ATTENTION
Note: is 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. ese limits are designed to provide reasonable pro­tection against harmful interference in a residential installation. is 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 o 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 dierent 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 RE­MOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
RADIATION HAZARD
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 FXZIG210. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. is 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 29cm (11.4 inches) or more should be maintained while operating the Sensus FXZIG210. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. is minimum safe distance is required between personnel and the antenna of this device. An de satisfaire à la limite d’exposition RF pour les appareils de transmission, une distance de séparation de 29cm (11.4 pouces) ou plus doit être maintenu pendant le fonctionnement du Sensus FXZIG210. 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 modications made to this device that are not approved by Sensus may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate equipment.
ATTENTION
is 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 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.
ATTENTION
is radio transmitter the Sensus FXZIG210 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 FXZIG210) 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.

Warnings & Hazards
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 satisfaisante.
ATTENTION
ICES-003 Class B Notice—Avis NMB-003, Class B is Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003 Cet appareil numerique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
