S5-MCM0 Compliance Manual Introduction S5-MCMO is a small module with a radio operating in the unlicensed sub-GHz frequency range of 902 – 928 MHz, designed to be compatible with Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF, Series 5 radios. This module is Landis+Gry designed and is intended for integration with Landis+Gyr products or third-party products as host board. The package design conforms to the land grid array (LGA) package, with terminal pads on the bottom surface (see drawing below, measurements are in mm).
The module is manufactured by a contract manufacturer, to design specifications and building materials controlled and specified by Landis+Gyr. The main components include a PCB, transceiver, frontend module, LDO, and an RF shield. Module assembly instructions are found in the document 73-2484. ’ Figure 2. Top side view, RF shield removed Figure 3.
Figure 4. Top side view, with RF shield installed An antenna is required but is not part of the module. The antenna is to be on the host board. The S5-MCM0 is certified with a PIFA (antenna) on the Gridstream RF, Sereies 5, I210+c host board. The PCB design file number is 24-2468, revision AE. When integrating the S5-MCM0 on a different host, if the antenna design on the host board is identical to that of the Gridstream RF, Sereies 5, I210+c, no additional certification effort is needed.
The top layer copper design is shown in the figure above. The second layer, shown below, is critical for RF trace impedance control, but is not critical for the PIFA. For multiple layer PCB, the space below the top layer antenna should be kept clear of copper as shown in the figure below. Keep clear of copper Figure 6.
If the antenna design on the new host board deviates from the approved antenna, it would be treated as a new antenna and, therefore, will be subject to a class II permissive change application. The class II permissive change can add the new antenna to the modular approval if evaluated stand-alone (i.e. open platform such as an eval board or host PCB without enclosure) or limited to a specific host device where stand-alone testing is not feasible.

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.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice This 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.
RF Exposure This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Cet équipement est conforme aux limites FCC d'exposition aux radiations définies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
Due to size limitation, the label is placed on the reel and packaging material containing the module. Figure 8. Placement location of FCC/IC label Host FCC and IC Label Requirement In the final installation, a label with the following information must be visible on the host.
