User Manual
1. Presentation
1.1 General Description
The purpose of the WebdynEasy W M-Bus hub is to collect data from Wireless M-Bus sensors such as
meters (water, gas and electricity) and sensors (temperature, humidity, etc...). This technology is energy-
efcient, the hub battery service life can exceed 10 years.
Data collection is by radio on the 868MHz frequency. This frequency is free of charge and its use is
harmonised in many EU countries.
The collected information (data, parameters, alarms, ...) is formatted to BSON format before being sent
to an information system (IS) by modem.
1.2 Operating Principle
WebdynEasy W M-Bus allows you to build your private network and is part of a package. WM-Bus
communication is point-to-point in a non-operated way. The meters or sensors regularly send data frames,
which are received and the raw data (encrypted or transparent) contained in these frames are stored by
the WM-Bus hub. WebdynEasy W M-Bus will regularly send a le in BSON format containing the whole raw
data of the different sensors to a server via FTP using its LTE-M/NB-IoT/2G or modem. It is possible to
secure the exchanged les between the WebdynEasy W M-Bus and the FTP server by activating the AES
encryption (see chapter 4.2.1.2 : “security”).

When the mode of the modem is in auto mode, the modem connects by default in LTE-M then if
this is unavailable, it falls back on 2G. If the rst connection attempt fails, the modem will make a second
connection attempt, but only in 2G.
1.7 Safety Instructions
Follow all the safety instructions in this guide.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage equipment and endanger people.
Electric connection:
• All wiring work must be carried out by a specialised qualied electrician.
• Please follow all the safety instructions featured in the equipment documentation.
The WebdynEasy W M-Bus product can be damaged by electrostatic discharges (ESD). When the
equipment is open, do not carry out any operations other than those described in this manual. Avoid any
contact with the components.
Class 3 equipment: the device operates on safety extra-low voltage (SELV) (50V maximum). The
voltage reduction must be obtained using a safety transformer providing safe galvanic isolation between
primary and secondary.
Do not install the equipment near a heat source or at a height greater than 2m.
To clean the product, only use a slightly damp cloth to gently clean and wipe the surfaces. Never
use aggressive chemical agents or solvents that could alter the plastic material or corrode the metal
parts.
Never insert a battery other than the one recommended by Webdyn. Never recharge the battery.
To optimise radio and cellular modem reception sensitivity, it is imperative to leave 20 cm free
space around the antennas.

2. Installation
2.1 Prerequisite
Since the role of the hub is to send the data it collects to an IS, the installation requires sufcient
knowledge of the hub, but also of the information system to which it sends its data.
The following is required to ensure proper installation:
• To have this user manual to hand.
• To have a screwdriver suitable for the types of connectors and screws available on the
WebdynEasy W M-Bus hub.
• To have knowledge of the parameters to connect to the IS information system.
• To have a SIM card with an activated data subscription and knowledge of the provider’s APN.
• To have a magnet.
It is also strongly recommended to have the elements described below for any intervention on site and
to install the product.
• Use a remote antenna if radio or cellular modem reception is deteriorated.
• Have an Android smartphone with the WebdynEasy W M-Bus app installed to facilitate product
conguration.
• Have a PC for product conguration or update via USB.
2.2 Unpacking
2.2.1 Contents
The WebdynEasy W M-Bus hub comes standard with:
• A curved SMA antenna for the modem (internal).
• A curved SMA antenna for the radio (internal).
• A battery pack.
2.2.2 Identication
The commercial reference differs depending on whether or not the hub includes a customer conguration.
The commercial reference is composed as follows:
• Without conguration: the commercial reference is WG0612-A12.
• With conguration: the commercial reference is WG0612-A12 to which the customer identier
is added. For example, the following reference can be obtained: WG0612-A12-WG.
A unique identier called UID is assigned to each WebdynEasy W M-Bus. It is used to congure the
product and recognise it when you have several WebdynEasy W M-Bus products.
