GENERAL INFORMATION
The EquaScan FNet system is an innovative 2 way-radio system particularly developed to fulfil the requirements of billing
service companies. The EquaScan FNet system enables any kind of metering data to be collected efficiently, quickly and
securely. The EquaScan Fnet system allows to integrate all endpoints belonging to EquaScan family. An EquaScan FNet
system comsists of one Coordinator and up to 19 Routers in order to build up a complete EquaScan FNet system and to
cover large building installations. One EquaScan FNet system can integrate up to 2.000 endpoints.
The EquaScan FNet Coordinator serves to manage, coordinate and consolidate the data exchanged between the Routers
inside the EquaScan Fnet environment, and at the same time also to collect the data from the endpoints in its own radio
range.
The user-friendly architecture of EquaScan FNet radio system and the easy set up of its associated components ensure
safe installation and commissioning of the FNet system with error-free operation and secure data transmission.
This product must be installed professionally and in accordance with the assembly guidelines and may therefore only be
installed by qualified and trained experts. For installation in buildings with high fire protection requirements e.g. staircases,
escape routes, the installation company must ensure that the local building regulations are met.
Handle carefully the package and the device inside, as it could be easily damaged if dropped or handled without care and
attention. The package must be stored the right way up and keep and store out of the rain and not in damp conditions. Do
not store the EquaScan FNet Device with the battery connected, as it may reduce significantly the general expected life time.
The intended use of the EquaScan FNet system is for storing and transmitting the consumption data of EquaScan
measuring devices and endpoints. The EquaScan FNet devices have been designed exclusively for this purpose. Any use
other than the use described above and any changes made to the EquaScan FNet devices represent an improper use. All
changes are subject to special written approval by the manufacturer.
Do not install the device inside metallic enclosures, behind metallic doors or any other electrically polluted places, as it may
influence significantly the Device radio performances.
Install the EquaScan FNet devices under the final site conditions to avoid any later disruption of the system and revise every
time the EquaScan FNet system after any construction change inside the building.

REPLACING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Batteries may only be replaced or exchanged by qualified staff. It is mandatory to follow the manufacturer procedure
assisted with the LCD display as described in the EquaScan FNet manuals. The connector only fits in one position in order
to guarantee installation with correct polarity. For this reason, no excessive force may be used when inserting the connector.
Caution: Risk of explosion if the batteries are not replaced properly. Replacement only by the same battery type and
recommended by the manufacturer. Note: Used batteries must NOT be disposed of with household waste.
NOTE ON DISPOSAL
Used electronic devices and their batteries must not be disposed of with normal household waste. We take all our products
back after use, free of charge, and dispose them accordingly. Do not expose to temperature outside of specifications. Do
not try to re-charge the lithium battery.

PUSH BUTTON FUNCTIONS
By default the display of the FNet Coordinator is OFF. An action on any push button
switches the display ON. The 2 push buttons allow the navigation in the following way:
• Up/Down: Short pressing allows to navigate up and down inside the list of
the menu list.
• ESC/Enter: Long pressing allows to go back to the previous menu or to enter to the
next menu.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL LCD AND NAVIGATION
The LCD dispose of max three display lines and is regrouped in 3 different menus to ensure the best compromise between
simplest use for the deployment, installation and configuration process. The different menus give access to all data required
for monitoring and maintenance of the FNet system.
• FNet Coordinator is actually in installation process and at least one endpoint has already been installed in the
Network. It indicates that the installation process has not been finished and still needs to run the procedure of
« Build/Sychronize the Network »
• It indicates the last GPRS signal level and will be actualized after each GPRS connection. If the GPRS connection
failed due to missing signal, the icon disappears. One blinking bar represents a very poor GRPRS signal.
One bar is low GPRS signal and 3 bars is high.
• Coordinator is equipped with GPRS-Modem option
• Coordinator is not equipped with AC 110V…230 V - 50/60Hz
• Coordinator is processing a task in the corresponding menu.

BATTERY CONNECTION
Please insert the battery connector as shown in the picture B. The connector
only fits in one position, in order to guarantee its installation with the correct
polarity. For this reason, no excessive force may be used when inserting the
connector.
MOUNTING OF FNET COORDINATOR ON THE WALL
For installing the EquaScan Fnet Coordinator on the wall, please use the wall bracket respecting the TOP side and use the
delivered screws and plastic fixings.
Please respect the minimum distance of the wall bracket of 20 mm to the ceiling and any perpendicular wall.
For fixing the FNet coordinator Device on the wall bracket please open the front cover by sliding it to the top. After
alignment of the noses of wall bracket and Coordinator holes slide the device down as indicated in Pic A.

QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended to run the following set-up instructions step by step inside the building where the EquaScan FNet system
will be installed.
Step 0:
Open the cover of the FNet Coordinator as explained in Pic A
Step 1 Option:
Insert the SIM Card inside the slot if option is not delivered and installed by manufactures.
Caution:
The SIM Card may be blocked if PIN code of FNet Coordinator does not correspond to the SIM Card PIN code. The default
value inside the FNet Coordinator is “0000”. The PIN Code of the SIM card could also be pre-configured as “deactivated”.
Please configure the FNet Coordinator with the corresponding SIM Card PIN code (refer to the EquaScan FNet Maintenance
Software Manuals).
Step 3:
Activate the LCD by short pressing of any push button
Press “Enter” to start the commissioning process (Start Menu).
Initialize the date and time of the device:
• “Up” and “Down” for changing the values
• “Enter” to move to next field (YYYY to MM to DD ….etc).
Once the commissioning process is finished the product enters automatically
into the Main Menu. Only in this stage: If the battery has been disconnected
(or option: disconnect the mains) the product will be reinitialized back to stor-
age mode and Step 3 must be repeated.
Step 4:
Press “Enter” to start the pairing process of the required Routers with the
Coordinator (Main Menu).
Secondly, at the same time start the pairing process on the FNet Routers. Refer
to the Router technical manual.
By pressing “Enter” you may list the FNet Routers paired to the FNet Coordinator.
When all required FNet Routers are paired, press “ESC” to return to the main
menu.
Step 5:
Fix the FNet Coordinator on its wall bracket (see picture A).
