Transmitter Certification Test Report FCC ID: SDBGFL FCC Rule Part: CFR 47 Part 24 Subpart D, Part 90 Subpart I, Part 101 Subpart C ACS Report Number: 06-0194-LD Applicant: Advanced Metering Data Systems, LLC Equipment Type: Water Meter Data Transmitter Trade Name: Sensus AMDS GFL Gas Meter Transmitter Model(s): GFL Users Manual 5015 B.U.
Product Description The FlexNet® wireless transmitter for gas AMR applications permits offsite meter reading by way of a fixed base radio network. In addition to solving meter reading problems such as lockouts, entering unsafe meter locations, "curbside" reading estimates, estimated billing, and errors associated with manual meter reading methods, a fixed network provides benefits such as daily reads and status alerts. A significant advantage of the module is its powerful one- Watt transmitter.
