Landis Gyr S5-MCM0 Meters and Module User 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)
Figure 1. Size and package dimensions
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.

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 PCB layout and fabrication information necessary to duplicate the PIFA is provided below.
Figure 5. Top layer PIFA dimensions
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.

NOTE: ASSUMED VALUES AK/ FLASHED MANSIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
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.
The pin-out definition of the S5-MCM0 is a Landisgyr+Gyr custom specification. For a host board to be compatible, the interface design must follow the definitions and specifications defined in the document 98-2391.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two
conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 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. 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.
- Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyrcould void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- this device may not cause interference, and
- this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic-ally radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
