1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of the document

This document is a complete guide for installation, configuration and commissioning of the wireless

repeaters/receiver for meters with wireless M-Bus protocol (EN13757-4) Code GE552Y053 hereon called

GE552Y053. It is aimed at technical staff with average nowledge of electronics, computers and basic

networ ing principles on TCP/IP and M-bus systems.

The wireless repeaters can acquire the signal from one or more communicating meters, according to the

standard wireless M-BUS (868 and 169) and re-transmit the data received to a networ of other devices, in

order to extend the wireless range of the afore-mentioned meters. The data can also be acquired by the

GE552Y058 datalogger. Every repeater handles up to 500 meters and can cover a distance of 500 m in open

air and 40m inside buildings. The plastic case, with a simple and elegant design, the fully retractable

electrical connections and antennas built into the device itself ma e the repeater suitable for wall

installations on view. Commissioning of the repeaters is facilitated by the software tool it and LEDs, which

indicate the intensity of the signal. The search for the best point of installation is also made easier by the

possibility to power the device via USB, thus ma ing movement possible during the search for a better

signal/distance compromise. A it to extend the protection rating to IP65 is available as an optional; this

allows outdoor installation.

3. ASPECT OF THE GE552Y053

3.1 Description of the GE552Y053

The device uses a technology that allows the wireless M-BUS networ s to be extended. In fact, the

antennas automatically establish the connection with each other, which allows the best signal quality and,

on receipt of the wireless M-BUS frames, propagate them to the GE552Y058 datalogger. If one of the

antennas is switched off or obscured, if possible, the networ will be re-created in a way that all of the

antennas have a pathway to follow to the datalogger. In this way, the antenna acts li e a multi-hop

repeater. Along with this functionality it is also possible to add the introduction of a list of wireless M-BUS

devices into the GE552Y053 ,which represent a white-list. In this way, if installation ta es place in an area

where more than 500 wireless M-BUS devices are received, the antenna will only consider the devices

under its own competence.

GE552Y053 repeater devices are supplied with MESH id=1 and channel 13;ma e sure that all repeaters

and/or GE552Y058 have the same MESH id and radio channel through the GE552Y056 software.

6. CONFIGURATION OF THE REPEATERS NETWOR

1. Power GE552Y058, wait for start-up, connect to the WEB interface and start scanning antennas and

devices following the product manual.

2. Power the first GE552Y053 device to be installed and move to a minimum distance of 5 m from the

GE552Y058

3. The GE552Y053 blue LED flashes to show the device is searching for GE552Y058

4. Once connected, it shows the quality of the MESH radio signal with respect to the gateway through

switch-on of the front green LEDs, 1 = poor, 2 = sufficient, 3 = good, 4 = excellent reception

5. Position GE552Y053 in a place that meets the signal value>= 2 and the reception of all wireless

MBUS devices expected to be received with this antenna.

6. Chec that the wireless MBUS devices to be received reach the GE552Y053 through the GE552Y058

WEB interface or through the GE552Y056 software and a PC connected to the antenna via USB

7. Fix the GE552Y053 and power a second repeater, remaining at a distance of at least 5 metres from

the first GE552Y053 and from the GE552Y058

8. The blue LED of the latter flashes to signal searching for GE552Y058,which can also ta e place by

connection through the GE552Y053, using the MESH networ

9. It shows the quality of the MESH radio signal with respect to the gateway through switch-on of the

front LEDs; proceed as for the first GE552Y053.

By default, the scanning phase has duration of 13 hours. It can be modified through the GE552Y058

There can be several independent GE552Y053 networ s in the same building. In this case, it is

necessary that the networ s have different MESH ID and/or channel for each group of GE552Y053

and relative GE552Y058.These parameters can be modified through the GE552Y056 software

installed on a PC and connected via USB to the GE552Y053.Refer to the SW manual for details.

If more than 500 wireless MBUS devices are received or some devices are received from other

plants, it may be necessary to ma e the repeater selective. To do this, it is possible to load a list of

wireless MBUS devices, mar ed by their serial number, into the device through the GE552Y056

software. In this way, the repeater will receive the data exclusively from the devices on the list.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. The device does not switch on:

•In the event of mains power supply, chec there is voltage present

•If a USB port is used, chec the quality of the USB cable and that the PC can supply a 500mA

current

2. The blue LED does not stop flashing:

•Chec that the GE552Y058 device is on and the antenna is connected and in a favourable

position for the propagation of the radio waves(do not close it inside electric control boards or

particularly shielded environments)

•Chec that the GE552Y053 is at least 5 m from the GE552Y058 and from the other GE552Y053

devices

•With the aid of the GE552Y056 SW, chec that the ID and the MESH networ channel is correct

and the same used by the GE552Y058

3. Not all meters are detected:

•Chec that the meters that are not detected are not too far away from the GE552Y053 or that

the radio signal is not too attenuated by reinforced concrete/metal walls

•Chec that the devices not reached are in the list loaded into the GE552Y053 or that the list of

the MBUS wireless devices that can be received by the GE552Y053 is not bloc ed

•Attention: some WMBUS devices also transmit with intervals of several hours

•With the aid of the GE552Y058 WEB interface or of the GE552Y056 software, chec that the

MESH networ is not cut off
