Bridges NIC 42 User Guide 1 About Bridges About Bridges A Silver Spring bridge provides high‐performance, reliable, and secure DNP3 transport between remote terminal units (RTUs) and data centers. The Silver Spring Networks Bridge family includes Bridge 4.0, eBridges, and sBridges. Bridges are manufactured to perform one of two roles: Master or Remote. A Master Bridge provides the connection or take‐out point for the Remote Bridges to the SCADA system. The Remote Bridges connect to the RTUs to provide connectivity back to the Master. For details and ordering information about these and other Silver Spring devices, refer to the Silver Spring Networks Infrastructure Hardware Guide.

Les types dʹantenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour lʹexploitation de lʹémetteur. • Antennenid omirectionnelle, 6.0dBi sur 900 MHz et 2,4 GHz sur 3.6dBi 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 isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation dʹIndustrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne dʹun type et dʹun gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour lʹémetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à lʹintention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type dʹantenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas lʹintensité nécessaire à lʹétablissement dʹune communication satisfaisante. For Transmitters Not Requiring Licenses This device complies with Industry Canada licence‐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.

Bridges NIC 42 User Guide 2 FCC and Government Guidelines Shock Accident First Aid • Do not touch the victim with your bare hands; use something non‐conductive to separate the victim from the energy source. • Call for emergency medical help immediately. Keep the victim lying down, warm, and comfortable until help arrives. Avoid moving the victim in case of injury to neck or back. Position an unconscious victim on a side to let fluids drain. • Check the victimʹs breathing and heartbeat. If properly trained, apply mouth‐to‐mouth resuscitation and/or CPR if necessary. • Remove constricting items from the victim, such as shoes, belts, jewelry, and tight collars; they could cut off circulation if the victim experiences swelling. • Apply water or saline for a few minutes to any burns until the skin returns to normal temperature. Do not attempt to remove clothing that is stuck to a burn. If possible, elevate burned areas to reduce swelling. • Make sure the victim receives professional medical attention, even if they feel fine. Electric shock can cause heart failure hours after the shock is received. Bridges NIC 42 User Guide 18 March 2013...
