 RE: ORION® Fixed Network (SE) and Migratable (ME) Endpoint Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

The ORION® Fixed Network (SE) and Migratable (ME) endpoint devices meet all applicable legal requirements, including Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission Rules. As part of these rules, the United States government sets requirements that limit the Radio Frequencies (RF) energy broadcast from ORION endpoints to safe levels for use in reading meters. ORION endpoint RF transmissions are below the typical ambient radio frequencies most people are exposed to in the United States on a daily basis from devices include TVs, wireless phones and radios.

The ORION SE endpoint broadcasts its reading data hourly, with each transmission lasting less than one half second. This is equivalent to less than one half watt-second of power per hourly transmission. A watt-second is one watt used for one second. The endpoint also transmits a very short message at very low power every 10 to 11 seconds and this message averages to less than one third of the power of the hourly message. Total power is approximately 16 watt-seconds per endpoint per day. The ORION ME endpoint broadcasts at very low power every five to six seconds. This message averages to less than one third of the power of the half second message. Total power is about 16 watt-seconds per day per endpoint. In comparison, a cordless phone might transmit one half watt so a 20 minute call uses 600 watt-seconds and a Wi-Fi transmitter in a laptop or tablet can transmit over 100 watt – seconds each hour.

Additionally, the exposure to RF signals decreases with the square of the distance to the device. This means the further away anyone is from the RF device the less RF contact. For example, the energy measured two feet away from the endpoint is one fourth (1/4) of the energy measured at a distance of one foot. Since ORION endpoints are typically located in the basement, outside of the house or in a meter pit at or below grade, the extended distance and material between the endpoint and the individual further reduces contact with RF signals.

 Further information regarding ORION SE and ME endpoints and their approval for use in water and gas meter reading applications can be found on the FCC website. Additional information regarding FCC regulatory compliance and Radio Frequency Safety can be found online at www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/radio-frequency-safety.

 Sincerely,

BADGER Meter, Inc.

What: The GWD has authorized Saks Metering to conduct a District-wide water meter upgrade project. This will provide more accurate readings electronically.

Action: You may find a door hanger notice indicating that metering has been successfully upgraded or that your meter is inside your house and Saks Metering personnel may contact you to schedule an appointment.

Who: All authorized Saks Metering installers will be in official uniforms, carry photo identification, and their vehicles will bear appropriate signage.

Meter Location: Most water meters are in an outside pit, usually in the front of the property. If so, residents DO NOT have to be home to receive the upgrade.

Cost: The replacement of the meter is no cost to residential homeowners.

Time: Upgrading requires approximately one hour to complete.

Water Disruption: You may experience temporary water disruption.

Questions or concerns: Please call GWD (631-261-0874) or Saks Metering (516-453-2922) at any time.

This weekend’s projected cold snap will be dangerous to people, pets and your water pipes!

Water expands as it freezes, putting tremendous pressure on plastic and metal pipes, which can burst. Severe cold doesn’t merely endanger outdoor hose spigots, water sprinkler lines and exterior water supply pipes:  Unheated interior areas like basements, crawl spaces, attics, garages and kitchen cabinets are also at risk. Pipes that run against exterior walls that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing.

Take Preventive Action

• Keep garage doors closed.
• Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. (Be sure to move harmful household cleaners and chemicals out of the reach of children.
• Insulate pipes with pipe sleeves or UL-listed heat tape. Pipes should be carefully wrapped, ends butted tightly and joints wrapped with tape.
• Maintain the same temperature day and night. You may incur a higher heating bill, but you can prevent far more costly repair bills if pipes freeze and burst.
• Going away?  Leave the heat on in your home, set to a temperature no lower than 55 ºF.
• Turn off outside hose spigot valve in basement.
• Keep faucets slightly open.

 

Future Protection

• Relocate exposed pipes if possible.
• Add insulation to attics, basements and crawl spaces to maintain higher temperatures.

 Please call your Greenlawn Water District with any questions.
