Gridstream RF, Series 5, AXei FCC and IC Compliance Manual Introduction The AXei PCB contains two radios, a Zigbee radio and a Sub-GHz radio. The Zigbee radio on the AXei PCB is certified for modular approval. The Sub-GHz radio is the S5-MCMO module. This radio complies with modular approval by itself and has its own FCC and IC IDs. The S5-MCM0 is compatible with Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF, Series 5 radios, operating in the unlicensed sub-GHz frequency range of 902 – 928 MHz.
ZigBee S5 MCM0 Figure 1.
PCB F trace antenna is designed as part of the AXei host board for the Zigbee and SM-MCM0 radios, see the picture below. Refer to the D1432 PCB design file for the specific dimensional details. Each transmitter is certified with the intended trace antenna on the host board. ZigBee Antenna S5 MCM0 Antenna Figure 1. Antennas The AXei PCB is designed to be mounted inside of the AXei meter forms specified in the table below, as final host.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice 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 maycause undesired operation. 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.
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.
