Smart Meters, campus communities, the meditating community. FW: A Summary.. A Long story short:
Excerpting.. “Alliant’s (Smart Meter) few signals per day are not of great health concern. All other regional utilities other than Alliant and PECO in PA use a mesh network for SMs, in which the meters signal to one another 100,000-190,000 signals/day. Alliant does not use a mesh system, but instead uses a hub and spokes system (point to point), in which each meter transmits directly to a tower. No mesh maintenance signals are involved. Alliant's planned opt out meter, Itron's Centron C1S, is health acceptable. tracking down the specific digital meter Alliant planned to use for an opt out meter, Itron's Centron C1S ..to test and disassemble Alliant's planned digital opt out meter, and he found no 'SMPS' and zero DE on radio static tests and GS tests (without the 'SMPS' component, digital and smart meters cannot and do not create significant or measurable dirty electricity (DE). ‘SMPS’ stands for ‘Switch/ing Mode Power Supply,’ which converts AC power to DC power. SMPS is the only cause of significant DE in a utility meter. So for practical purposes, no SMPS = no DE. Almost all digital meters have SMPS and therefore DE. But the Centron C1S is an exception. So it is in the same health risk category as a little $5 digital clock. It has vastly less health risk than using a cell phone, even if the cell phone is held at a distance on speaker phone (holding the cell phone at a distance reduces the radiation only 10-30%, the other 70-90% radiation conducts up the arm to the brain and central nervous system). So statements that this C1S is dangerous, life-threatening are not true. Statements that all digital meters are dangerous are not true. Conclusion: Yes, it is good to opt out, but Alliant SMs are not dangerous enough to worry about or strain relationships with anyone. We are here to create coherence, not to involve ourselves in scientifically unwarranted claims. But there is no guarantee that Alliant will use and continue to use that opt out meter, perhaps partly because the intervenors did not strongly pursue adding safe technical parameters for the opt out meter in the hearing,” ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dickm...@lisco.com> wrote : Know anyone with a smart meter? Valuable testing is available Smart meters are needed soon for testing In the ongoing effort to determine if smart meters are safe, Jay Marcus, Attorney is seeking to contact Alliant customers who are currently using a smart meter. We are specifically looking for smart meter customers who live in each of the Fairfield communities, including Utopia Park and Maharishi Vedic City. However, any Alliant customer in Iowa would be helpful. How you can be of help We are asking you to contact your friends, neighbors or work associates who have smart meters to ask if they would be willing to allow for the testing of their meters to determine the safety of their units. If they choose to participate, we will ask them to sign a simple consent form. The testing, depending on the orders of the Iowa Utilities Board, will be sometime in the next few months, and will not cost them anything. No one will enter their home, they do not have to be at home or do anything to allow for the testing. The testing will take but a few minutes so it is possible that they may not know that the test was actually done, and the results of each individual test will not be identified as coming from their meter or be made public in any way. The goal of this test is not to convince anyone to opt out The purpose of the test is NOT to convince the customer that they should opt out, but the customer can ask for the results of the test if they want. By participating in this test they are not acting in support of Fairfield Safe Meters or Alliant, neither will they become involved in the hearings or activities of the Iowa Utility Board. Your help is needed right away If you know of anyone who might accept the testing, please send this email to them. We'd appreciate as many responses to this email as soon as possible. Thank you for your support! Fairfield Safe Meters Inc. 1960 Sapphire LaneFairfield, IA 52556 641-919-5566 fairfieldsafemete...@gmail.com mailto:fairfieldsafemete...@gmail.com Those ready to participate in the test will get useful information about their own meter and also help determine how the community can best deal with the situation. To Consent: Those who consent can either sign, scan and email me the consent form, or simply email me with their name and address and say that they authorize me to sign the consent for them. To participate they must be the owner of the residence or a renter who pays the utility bill. Thanks.
