Professional Installation
This module is intended for professional installation by the integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the
FCC/ISED compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module.
Limited Modular Procedures
The Itron G5R1 is approved as a module, and Itron as the module manufacturer is responsible for approving the host
environment that the limited module is used with. The host for the Itron G5R1 module is the Itron electricity meter.
Itron has full control over the manufacture of the module as well as the electricity meter. As a module the fully
operational G5R1 has been tested and has shown compliance within the host.
Antennas
There are no external antenna types approved for use with the Itron G5R1 module installed in the Itron meter. Below are
the antennas associated with the G5R1 module.
• PCB embedded strip, 3.6 dBi max gain (900 MHz)
• PCB embedded strip, 2.9 dBi max gain (2.4 GHz)
For situations where the host manufacturer is responsible for an external connector, the integration instructions shall
inform the installer that a unique antenna connector must be used on the Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host
product.
