4 Introduction
4.1 Purpose
This chapter provides a general description of CMi4130. In the next-coming sections you will learn more
about possible applications for the product and how CMi4130 can be combined with other products to
build versatile solutions.
4.2 Application description
CMi4130 is a cost-effective meter connectivity module, which is mounted in an Itron CF ECHO II heat
meter or an Itron CF 51/55 calculator. It uses a very energy-efficient scheme to deliver meter data to a
receiving (application) server over a LoRaWAN network. Meter data is securely transmitted, using
LoRaWAN end-to-end security scheme. CMi4130 can be retrofitted into already-deployed meters or
mounted in the meter before deployment.
4.3 Product features
CMi4130 offers a combination of battery operation with very long lifetime and a versatile application
through its many configuration options. Key features of the module include:
•Extensive battery lifetime
The module’s EcoMode feature enables the module to achieve a battery-lifetime of at least 11+1
years.
•No meter installation needed
As soon as the meter connectivity module has been mounted in the meter and activated, it will
join the LoRaWAN network and start to deliver meter data, i.e. no manual steps need to be taken
in order to install the product in the meter.
•Quick commissioning
With Elvaco’s One-Touch Commissioning (OTC), deployment, configuration and key transferring
can be performed in a secure and flexible way. Use the Elvaco OTC App to enter your desired
settings and place your phone next to the meter. New settings will be applied via NFC.
•A unique and flexible message scheme
CMi4130 has several different message formats to choose from. This makes it easy to customize
the product to the unique demands of your application.
4.4 Compatibility
CMi4130 is compatible with Itron ECHO II heat meters and Itron CF 51/55 calculators.

5 Getting started
5.1 Purpose
This chapter provides instructions on how to get started with CMi4130. After reading and carefully
following each step of this chapter, your meter connectivity module should be mounted and connected to
the LoRaWAN network.
5.2 Product specification
5.3 Mount and start-up the device
5.3.1 Mounting and connection
CMi4130 is mounted in the module slot of an Itron CF 51/55/ECHO II. Grab the device by the outer
edges, gently press it into position.
5.3.2 Connection of antenna
CMi4130 is available in two different versions, with internal antenna (CMi4130Int) and with external
antenna (CMi4130Ext). If using the external antenna version of the module, the antenna is connected
using an SMA connector.
If using an external antenna, make sure to mount it at least 0.5 meters away from the meter
in order not to cause interference.
5.3.3 Network preparation
In order for the module to connect to the LoRaWAN network, it needs to be added in the network server.
More specifically, the following device information needs to be registered: Device EUI, Application key
and Join EUI. (If using ABP mode, the following information should be registered instead: Application
Session key, Network Session key and Device address.)
Elvaco strongly recommends using Over-the-air activation (OTAA) to facilitate deployment
and minimize the risk of duplicated keys.
1. NFC antenna
2. LoRa antenna
3. Green LED
4. Red LED
5. Battery
6. Push button

5.3.4 Activation
Module activation
Upon delivery, CMi4130 is set to passive mode, which means no messages will be transmitted from the
module. The module can be activated in one of the following ways:
a) By using the module push button: Press down the push button of the module for at least five
seconds until the green LED lights up.
b) By using the Elvaco OTC App: Open the Elvaco OTC app (downloadable via Google Play) and
scan the module (make sure NFC is activated on the phone). Remove the front enclosure of the
meter if needed. Go to Apply mode, set the Power mode to “active” and click Apply settings.
Place the phone next to the module. New settings are applied via NFC. You can make sure that
the module has joined the LoRaWAN network correctly by checking the “network join” field in the
Inspect tab of the OTC App.
Network join
When activated, CMi4130 will attempt to join the LoRaWAN network. The phase is indicated by short
flash on red light, then green and red LED lights up for 1 second, followed by short flashes on the green
LED until the module has joined the LoRaWAN network. When CMi4130 succeeds in joining the
LoRaWAN network, the green LED will light up for 8 seconds, as illustrated by Fel! Hittar inte r
eferenskälla.Figure 1.
Figure 1: Network join LED indication
If the module fails to join the LoRaWAN network, it will perform retries until it succeeds. The time between
each attempt will increase for every attempt until it is performed once every day. A new join attempt cycle
can be manually started anytime by using the push button to reboot the module or by deactivating and
activating the module using the Elvaco OTC App.
When the module has joined the LoRaWAN network, it will perform three quick transmissions (regardless
of transmit interval settings) before starting to use its configured transmit interval settings. By using the
Elvaco OTC App, you can easily verify that the module is successfully communicating with the meter
(“Meter communication”) and is connected to the LoRaWAN network (“Network joined”).
Soft start
In rare cases, if the battery is weak, the module will perform a soft start to be able to start-up despite the
condition of the battery. The soft start takes 10 minutes to complete. The red LED will blink shortly every
10th second until the start-up has completed.

6.4 Time handling
The module relies on the meter’s clock for keeping time. Time in the meter is assumed to be in standard
local time (no DST). When synchronizing time in the meter using the OTC App, local standard time is
always used, even if DST is in effect. The timestamped meter data sent from the module can be adjusted
to be sent in UTC by specifying the “UTC offset” configuration parameter. The UTC offset will be
subtracted from the timestamp prior to transmission. If the meter is in Sweden, which uses CET (Central
European Time), it should have UTC offset set to +60 (+1h). In this case at time 12.00 a telegram is sent
with timestamp 11.00 as this is the corresponding UTC time. A meter in New York (USA) should have a
UTC offset of -300 (-5h) etc. A UTC offset of 0 means the meter time is used as-is.
6.5 Adaptive data rate (ADR)
CMi4140 uses Adaptive Data Rate (ADR), part of the LoRaWAN standard, where the network server
determines the optimal rate of communication for the module based on current signal conditions. In best
case, the module will use its highest data rate (DR5) in order to be as energy efficient as possible. When

CMi4130 User’s Manual English
CMi4130 User’s Manual English
page | 12 (25)
[2020-06]
V1.1
signal conditions are poor, the network server will incrementally lower the data rate until it is able to
receive the message. When the data rate is low, the energy consumption per telegram will increase.
6.6 Transmit interval
The transmit interval is used to set how frequently the module should transmit data on the LoRaWAN
network. The parameter can be set to a value between 5 and 1440 (i.e. between 5-minute and daily
values.)
6.6.1 EcoMode
When EcoMode is active, a battery-lifetime of at least 11+1 years is guaranteed for the module. The
module is able to achieve this by using a table of allowed transmit intervals settings for each data rate.
When radio conditions are poor (and data rate is low), the module will be able to send data less
frequently in order to conserve battery-life. When signal conditions are good, the module will be able to
send data more frequently. When EcoMode is enabled, the module will continuously check if the set
transmit interval is “allowed” by the EcoMode table. If a longer transmit interval is needed for the specific
data rate in order to achieve 11 years of battery life, the module will adjust the parameter accordingly.
Table 3 shows the transmit intervals that the module will use for different data rates in order to achieve a
11-year battery-life.

EcoMode is activated later).
6.7 Message formats
CMi4130 has six different message formats: Standard, Compact, JSON, Scheduled –Daily redundant,
Scheduled –Extended and Combined heat/cooling. Each message format will be described in detail in
this section.
6.7.1 Message structure
Message formats Standard, Compact, Scheduled –Daily redundant, Scheduled –Extended and
Combined heat/cooling are encoded on M-Bus format (date/time field are encoded on M-Bus format F).
Message format JSON is encoded on JSON format. All messages begin with one byte specifying the
message format used.
All M-Bus encoded messages begin with one byte specifying the message format used. Then follows a
sequence of data information blocks (DIBs), each one containing a data information field (DIF), a value
information field (VIF) and a data field (DATA). The structure of the telegram is illustrated in Figure 4.

The clock message will be transmitted once every day and the data message at least (regulated by
transmit interval parameter or EcoMode) once every day. The transmit interval can only be set the values
listed in Table 10.
Note that although the meter readout will occur on top-of-the-hour, the data message will not necessarily
be transmitted at that exact time. The LoRa transmission will occur after a random delay of 0-15 minutes
to decrease the risk of collisions. The readout for the clock message occurs at a random hour (00:00-
23:00) at a random minute in the 35-45 interval and will be transmitted immediately after the readout.
When using message format Scheduled, the transmit interval cannot not be set to higher
than 1440 minutes.

Scheduled- daily redundant
The data message of Scheduled mode-daily redundant contains an accumulated daily energy field, which
is updated at 24:00 each day. In other words, depending on transmit interval settings and data rate, the
field will be included in between 1-24 telegrams per day. This will increase the probability of the value
being received. For example, if the transmit interval is set to “2”, the accumulated energy read at 24:00
will be transmitted 12 times during the 24 next coming hours (every 2nd hour).

Table 13: Payload, message format Combined heat/cooling
6.7.3 Meter communication error message
The payloads using M-Bus encoded data uses the Function field of the DIF to indicate errors. In this case
it is set to “value during error state” (M-Bus standard EN 13757-3:2013) and the value sent should not be
used. A typical case for this is when the module is unable to communicate with the meter and retrieve
meter values, in which case all the fields in the payload have the DIF indicating “value during error state”.
In case of erroneous data or if the module is unable to communicate with meter, bit 4-5 of the bit of the
DIF code (first byte of each index field) will be set to 11b. For example, a DIF code of 0x02 will be set to
0x32 in case of error. (This applies to all message format except JSON.) For message format JSON, the
actual value will be replaced with “null” in case of error state. If no meter communication is possible at all,
all fields have this error indication set.
6.8 Downlink
CMi4130 supports configuration via downlink, i.e. sending commands to an end-device via the LoRaWAN
network. Note that this feature should only be used sparingly due to bandwidth consideration.
Communication via downlink is sent on port 2 and can only be made in a short window after an uplink
transmission from module to server. Therefore, time-critical communication should not be performed over
downlink.
Downlink commands are structured according to the following format: “0x00” "TLV" "Number of bytes in
configuration" "Configuration". For a complete description of all available downlink commands, see Table
14.
