UFM Series 6
1 General Information
1.1 About these Instructions
The External VDSL Range Extender type VDD is specially designed to
communicate with an Ultrasonic Flow Meter (UFM) Series 6 from Elster. The
UFM must be equipped with an optional VDSL Range Extender at its rear
compartment (see UFM Series 6 Wiring Instructions, in Appendix II –
References listed in at the back of this manual). The VDD External VDSL
Range Extender is intended for indoor use in a non-hazardous industrial
environment, such as a control room where it can act as a link between the
UFM and the flow computer or laptop. The device can work in a non-
condensing environment with a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C (-14 to
140 °F).
WARNING!
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.
This product is not intended to be connected to the public
network.
The VDD External VDSL Range Extender is a bridge mode range extender
accommodating well proven Ethernet and VDSL technologies to extend
Ethernet over single-pair copper wires by using a VDSL signal. Up to 100/60
Mbps transition bandwidth within 300m and 40/10 Mbps for 3km long range
connections provide an ultra-high performance network. With different band
plans supported, it is possible to have a symmetric upstream and
downstream flow. The VDD External VDSL Range Extender has the
advantage of a quick installation time (simply plug-n-play).

2 FCC (Federal Communication Commission)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
3 Labelling
An example of the label on the VDSL Range Extender:
CAUTION!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment under FCC rules.

4 Connections on the VDD External VDSL
Range Extender
By using the power button at the back of the device it is possible to turn the
Range Extender on and off. Range Extender connections are depicted in
Figure 4-1, and described below:
Power Source: Use only one (!) out of these two options to connect
your suitable power supply. Power range is between 10 to 36 VDC
(consumption: 4Watt maximum) for DC jack and 3 way phoenix
connectors.
USB Ports: may only be used for service purposes. Use a double
standard USB cable, with maximum cable length of 3 meters.
LAN Connection: Ethernet connection using either RJ45 or the 4
way Phoenix connector. Wiring should be straight (not cross-
linked).
VDSL Connection: VDSL connection using either the RJ11
connector or the two way Phoenix connector (where pin 3 is
negative and pin 4 is positive).
Wiring of the VDSL communication connector at the UFM should be done as
described in the UFM Series 6 Wiring Instructions document. Please see
Appendix II –References for more information.

6 Switches
The VDSL Range Extender contains 4 DIP switches (see Figure 6-1),
whereby the VDSL communication can be fine-tuned and aligned. These
DIP switches should be aligned according to the DIP switches on the DSL
Modem Board in the rear compartment of the UFM (see document: UFM
Series 6 Wiring Instructions, listed in Appendix II –References at the back of
this manual.)
Switches 1 through 4 are explained in detail below:
6.1 DIP Switch 1
This switch is to set the Range Extender configuration:
ON, RT/CPE: VDSL Range Extender acts as Remote Type (RT) /
Customer premise equipment side (slave).
OFF, OT/CO: VDSL Range Extender acts as Office Type (OT) /
Central office side (master).
Important!
The setting of this switch must be the opposite as on the DSL
Modem Board on the other side of the communication line.

Extender (see section 6.1 DIP Switch 1)
6.3 DIP Switch 3
This switch is to set the Band plan:
ON, 998 ISDN: VDSL Range Extender acts as per 998 ISDN band
plan.
OFF, 997 symmetric ISDN: VDSL Range Extender acts as per 997
symmetric band plan.
Important!
Switch is only relevant if this Range Extender is the master Range
Extender (see section 6.1 DIP Switch 1)
6.4 DIP Switch 4
This switch is to set the noise reduction level:
ON, 6dB SNR: Standard noise reduction level (6 dB).
OFF, 9dB SNR: Higher noise reduction level (9 dB).
Important!
Switch is only relevant if this Range Extender is the master Range
Extender (see section 6.1 DIP Switch 1)
