11 Interfaces and Options
11.1 Optical (infrared) interface
For the communication with the optical interface an optocoupler and the ‘Device Monitor’ is necessary. The
optocoupler and the ‘Device
Monitor’ software are available as accessory equipment.
Baud rate: 2400 baud
11.2 Radio interface wireless M-Bus (optional)
The radio interface is for the transmission of meter data (absolute values).
General information about the radio interface
When installing the radio components, avoid metallic material directly in front of the housing.
The transmission quality (range, telegram processing) of radio components can be negatively influenced by
instruments or equipment with electromagnetic emissions, such as telephones (particularly LTE mobile radio
standard), wi-fi routers, baby monitors, remote control units, electric motors, etc.
In addition, the construction of the building has a strong influence on the transmission range and coverage.
The factory-setting of the internal clock inside the heat cost allocator is standard (winter) Central European
Time (GMT +1). There is no automatic changeover to daylight savings (summer) time.
The radio function is deactivated upon delivery (see 11.2.6 “Activation of the radio interface”)
