Checking the usage
Communications module ACM WAVE
SYSTEM RF for gas meters with Absolute
ENCODER AE2
ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF for recording and forwarding
absolute meter readings.
The “V-Drive” option allows additional activation and
status messaging of the valve incorporated in the gas
meter. The valve is designed for the remote connec-
tion and disconnection of the gas supply.
The ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF comprises the TRANS-
MITTER and the RECEIVER. The TRANSMITTER is
directly connected to the index. The RECEIVER is
connected to the receiving unit.
As an option for supporting the wireless link, a
REPEATER can be additionally connected.
This function is only guaranteed when used within the
specified limits – see page 6 (Technical data). Any
other use is considered as non-compliant.

Wiring the RECEIVER
WARNING
Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working on
possible live components ensure the unit is discon-
nected from the power supply.
▷
For the electrical connection between the
RECEIVER and the receiving unit, polarity is
inconsequential.
▷The RECEIVER is delivered with a prefabricated
connection cable. The RECEIVER may optionally
be delivered without a connection cable.
1 Wire the RECEIVER to the receiving unit.
▷
If a connection cable is already routed to the
receiving unit at the installation location, the pre-
fabricated connection cable on the RECEIVER
may be removed, as described below.
Removing the prefabricated connection cable
▷
Use the connection plug from the RECEIVER
for further wiring with the already routed con-
nection cable.
123
4 5
▷ Feed the new connection cable into the strain
relief facility, see figure 5 . Otherwise, the
RECEIVER cannot be closed.
Wiring completed
▷
Once wiring is completed, the RECEIVER re-
quires a charging time of < 5 min. During this
time, there is no communication with the other
units of the ACM WAVE SYSTEM.
▷At the end of the charging time, the green LED
on the RECEIVER blinks every 10 s and the red
LED blinks at a rate of 1 Hertz.
▷ The charging time can be used for further in-
stallation work, see page 3 (Closing and
sealing the RECEIVER) and 3 (Installing the
gas meter).
Closing and sealing the RECEIVER
▷Secure the RECEIVER against external access
with the seal.

Installing the gas meter
▷ For installing the gas meter in the pipework, refer
to the operating instructions for diaphragm me-
ters BK-G1.6 to BK-G25T, see www.docuthek.

erating instructions.
Attaching the TRANSMITTER
▷
The TRANSMITTER is connected to the Absolute
ENCODER AE2 index after the gas meter has
been installed in the pipework.
▷The retaining screw and the calibration seal are
found at the rear of the TRANSMITTER housing.
123
▷ When connecting the TRANSMITTER to the
index, avoid bending the contacts.

Commissioning
Installing the TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER
▷ The ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF units are delivered
fully programmed.
▷ Once the RECEIVER has been wired and the
TRANSMITTER has been connected to the in-
dex, the units and the connected receiving unit
are synchronized automatically. The RECEIVER
and the TRANSMITTER are in installation mode.
▷When the units have “found” each other, all the
LEDs go out after a maximum of 20 s. The red
LED on the RECEIVER now blinks once every
20s.
▷ The LEDs do not go out? See page 4 (Syn-
chronizing the TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER failed).
Synchronizing the TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER
failed
▷If the distance between the RECEIVER and the
TRANSMITTER is too large, the units will not
“find” a sufficient signal. This can be identified
by the continued blinking of the LEDs on the
RECEIVER and the TRANSMITTER.
▷
To support the wireless link, a REPEATER can be
connected. Up to 3 REPEATERS can be used.
See page 4 (Installing the REPEATER).
Installing the REPEATER
Synchronizing the REPEATER with the
RECEIVER
1 Hold the REPEATER close to the RECEIVER.
2 Activate the REPEATER. To do this, place a per-
manent magnet in close proximity to the two
LEDS for approx. 10s. A magnetic flux density
of B ≥40mT directly on the housing surface is
needed for identification purposes.
▷The REPEATER is activated when the red LED
blinks every 2 s.
▷ When the green LEDs on the REPEATER and
the RECEIVER blink simultaneously every 10 s,
it means that the units have found each other.
▷ The green LEDs do not blink simultaneously?
See page 5 (Assistance in the event of mal-
function).
 Confirm that both units have been synchronized.
To do this, hold the permanent magnet on the
LEDs on the REPEATER for approx. 10 s.
▷ The green LEDs on the REPEATER and the
RECEIVER no longer blink simultaneously.
▷The red LED on the REPEATER now blinks at a
rate of 1 Hertz.
▷
The REPEATER now “seeks” the TRANSMITTER.
Synchronizing the REPEATER with the
TRANSMITTER
4 Move the REPEATER in the direction of the de-
sired installation location and the TRANSMITTER.
▷ When doing this, the signal between the
REPEATER and RECEIVER must not be “lost”.
The green LED must continue to blink.
▷When the green LED on the REPEATER blinks
twice within 10 s, it means that the REPEATER
and the TRANSMITTER have found each other.
Synchronizing the REPEATER failed
▷
If the REPEATER is too far away from the
RECEIVER, the green LED goes out. The sig-
nal from the RECEIVER is “lost”. Move the RE-
PEATER back in the direction of the RECEIVER
until the green LED blinks again.
▷It is not possible to position the REPEATER so
that the green LED on the REPEATER blinks
twice within 10 s? See page 5 (Assistance
in the event of malfunction).
Finishing installation
5 Confirm installation. To do this, hold the perma-
nent magnet on the LEDs on the REPEATER for
approx. 10 s.
▷ The red LED on the REPEATER briefly blinks
more quickly. Afterwards, all the LEDs on the RE-
CEIVER, REPEATER and TRANSMITTER go out.
6 Secure the REPEATER, see page 2 (Attach-
ing the RECEIVER base plate).
Closing and sealing the REPEATER
▷Secure the REPEATER against external access
with the seal.

Replacement
▷ The ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF units are matched
together in pairs. This means that once the bat-
tery life has expired, the complete ACM WAVE
SYSTEM RF must be replaced.
▷ The units can be replaced without further pro-
gramming effort.
▷ The relevant calibrated part of the meter remains
unaffected.
1 For removing the TRANSMITTER, the seal must
be pierced and broken with a screwdriver.

▷
If the RECEIVER/REPEATER needs to be opened
for removing the base plate, the seals on the
units must also be pierced and broken with a
screwdriver.
4 Install the new ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF accord-
ing to the enclosed operating instructions.
Maintenance
The ACM WAVE SYSTEM RF for gas meters with
Absolute ENCODER AE2 requires little servicing.
