ITR9002 Module
Labeling
The following requirements will be applied to any products that use these modules:
The Pole ounted Router (P R) or host label will include the following text:
• Contains:
• FCC ID: SK9ITR9002
• Model: ITR9002
The user’s manual for any product that contains this modules will contain the following text. If the device is large
enough, then this will also be placed on the label.
“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 may cause undesired operation.”
Regulatory Compliance
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text:
Module Compliance
FCC
This module has been tested and found to comply with the following requirements for Limited odular Approval.
• Part 15.247 - Operation within the bands 902-928 Hz, 2400-2483.5 Hz, and 5725-5850 Hz.
FCC Part 15, Class B
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. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This 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 off 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 different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
dditional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The Itron ITR9002 modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules)
listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that
apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as
being Part 15 Subpart B compliant (when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall
provide a notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular
transmitter installed.

ITR9002 Module
Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Itron,
Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure (FCC)
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text:
“This equipment complies ith radiation exposure limits set forth as a mobile classification for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated ith minimum distance 20 cm bet een the
radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction ith any other
antenna or transmitter.”
(The ITR9002 module has been evaluated within the P R host for RF exposure compliance)
Miscellaneous
The user’s manual for any product that contains this module will contain the following text:
Professional Installation
This module is intended for professional installation by the integrator. The OE integrator is still responsible for the
FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module.
Limited Modular Procedures
The Itron ITR9002 is approved as a “limited 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 ITR9002 module is the Itron
Pole ounted Router (P R). Itron has full control over the manufacture of the module as well as the P R. As a
“limited module” the fully operational ITR9002 has been tested and has shown compliance within the host (P R).
ntennas
The following external antenna types have been approved for use with the Itron ITR9002 module installed in the P R.
• onopole, 3dBi gain, (Laird, P/N: TRA9023P)
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.
Modification and Repairs
To ensure FCC compliance and system performance, this device, antenna and/or coaxial assembly shall not be changed
or modified without the express written approval of Itron. Any unauthorized modification will void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment. WARNING! This device contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to repair this device by
unauthorized personnel may subject the person to shock hazard if removal of protective covers is attempted.
Unauthorized repair will void the warranty and/or maintenance contract with your company.
Operational Description
The Itron ITR9002 is a communications module which utilizes a 902.25 Hz to 927.75 Hz transmitter. This module operates
within a host unit which is part of a utility network system designed to communicate with other devices in this network such
as electricity meters and routers. The module operates on DC voltage which is supplied by the host device.

ITR9002 Module
Test Modes
Itron uses various test mode programs for test set up which operate separate from production firmware. Host integrators
should contact Itron for assistance with test modes needed for module/host compliance test requirements.
Recycling Information
The product you have purchased contains circuit boards. At the end of the modules useful life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of certain components into the municipal waste system. Check with your
local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or proper disposal.
