4.3 Current Consumption
Figure 4-3 shows schematically the current consumption of a meter device, that is triggered
by the host controller to transmit a Wireless M-Bus packet every 2 seconds. After transmission
the meter is able to receive commands from a master device (concentrator, data collector,
etc.). The rest of the time the meter remains in Low Power Mode.
