1.3 Device description
ArrowEVO Standalone is a radio module with
pulse input compatible with Maddalena
water meters and with those of other
brands. The device allows for measuring,
transmitting and remotely reading the con-
sumption values and the alarms using a
wireless transmission technology.
The following alarms are managed: maxi-
mum ow exceeded (limit can be activated
and congured), backow (limit set and con-
gurable), leak and mechanical fraud (cable
cutting).
ArrowEVO Standalone is compliant with the
wM-Bus data communication protocol de-
ned at European level by Standard EN
13757. This guarantees a high level of inter-
operability with various reading systems on
the market, including third-party systems.
ArrowEVO Standalone is also OMS certied
(www.oms-group.org).
The factory set-up can be modied via radio
signal at a later point using the special con-
guration kit (USB transceiver and relative
software), supplied separately.
The main technical specications of the Ar-
rowEVO Standalone design are:
– input via four-pole cable of the follow-
ing signals: pulses (ow meter revolu-
tions), ow direction, anti-fraud, earth.
Thanks to these data, the module calcu-
lates the volume (both directions), man-
ages alarms and memorises the data in a
non-volatile memory;
– M-Bus (EN 13757) 868 MHz radio wire-
less communication interface that
allows remote reading in both mobile
(walk-by) and xed (AMR) scenarios,
using the same factory set-up (trans-
mission interval);
– lithium battery that guarantees long-
term power supply (15 years + 1)
– support ring nut that allows the module
to be attached to the QuadraPlus sensor
easily. Alternatively, it can be xed to the
wall using the two plugs supplied or to the
pipe using clamps.

1.6 Identication
The ArrowEVO Standalone module, identied
by the label (A), is strictly associated with a
single meter. Two elements are required for
this association, performed during installa-
tion: the serial number of the mechanical
meter and the serial number of module
ArrowEVO Standalone.

The serial number can be read via radio

If necessary, during programming it is pos-
sible to store the serial number of the me-
chanical meter within the radio module, so
that this is available within the data trans-
mitted.

lWARNING!
The instruction manual is an inte-
gral part of the device and should
be carefully read and stored.
dPROHIBITED
Packaging material must be prop-
erly disposed of and kept out of
children’s reach as it may repre-
sent a hazard. Disposal must be
performed in line with applicable
laws.
2.2 Assembly
lWARNING!
Installation and management
of the device is permitted solely
by authorised and appropriately
trained personnel equipped with
sucient technical experience.
Authorised personnel: specialised installer
or plumber, assigned by the metering oper-
ator.

lWARNING!
When purchasing conguration
"B" (with module connected to
the sensor), refer to the manual
of the sensor (QuadraPlus, Flow-
Pulse or Reed) for the connection
to the meter.
lWARNING!
When purchasing conguration
"C" (with free four-pole wire), the
latter must be connected to a
sensor or external pulse genera-
tor, by appropriately connecting
the wires.
– The ArrowEVO Standalone module is sup-
plied with a four-pole cable with earth (1)
-White: pulse input. Pulse signal for both
the delivery and return ow.
-Yellow: ow direction. Contact closed =
return ow.
-Green: anti-fraud. Contact open = fraud.
-Brown: earth. Common earth signal.

Assembly on the sensor
Insert the two pins (1) on the QuadraPlus
sensor in the ring nut inserts (2) and fully
insert the module until it locks into place

Assembly on a support
If the meter is buried, preferably position
the module as close to the surface as pos-
sible.
Fix the ring nut (1) to a pipe (2) (using a
clamp) or to a wall (3) (using the plugs
provided). Insert the module fully into the
guide. Preferably install the module with
the antenna symbol (4) facing upwards.

3 Use
The fully operational phase involves remote
meter reading via the radio modules. Each
radio module transmits the reading with a
settable frequency (default: reading trans-
mitted every 16 seconds). Simply approach
the meter with a suitable receiver or, if
there is a xed reading system, the data will
be collected automatically.
lWARNING!
Reading of data can be per-
formed using various software.
Please consult the metering oper-
ator for more information on the
specic use of reading software.
3.1 Synchronisation of
mechanical reading
The radio module stores the volume record-
ed via a pulse inlet. The module is factory
set with an initial volume of zero.
If the meter on which the radio module
is installed has a reading other than zero,
synchronisation of the mechanical meter
reading and radio module is recommended
using the programming kit. Simply read the
value in litres on the meter and set the read-
ing using the programming software.
3.2 Activating the radio module
The ArrowEVO Standalone module is deacti-
vated by default, therefore it will not trans-
mit nor count.
To activate the module: insert the red acti-
vation key (1) in the appropriate slot (2) and
keep it there for over 10 seconds.
If the key is inserted for less than 10 sec-
onds, the module is NOT activated.

lWARNING!
For a complete list of program-
ming parameters and relative
settings, refer to the specic
manual.
dPROHIBITED
Programming of the ArrowEVO
Standalone module without ap-
proval of the metering operator
is not permitted.

11
3.3 Programming on initial
installation of the module
The ArrowEVO Standalone module is sup-
plied with a series of set-up data already set
to the default values.
If necessary, during initial installation, once
the module has been activated, the follow-
ing values can be modied:
– Radio reading with reading of the me-
chanical meter
– Mechanical serial number of the relative
meter
– Personalised AES encryption key for each
meter
– Impulsive weight
The module is programmed using the Radio
Evo program / Arrow Evo Console from a PC.
To perform programming on initial instal-
lation, once the module has been activated
using the magnetic programming key, use
the part of the screen shown in the box (1).
Once the desired parameters have been set,
activate programming for initial installation
using the button (2).

Electrical or electronic
devices interfere with
the signal
Move devices to a sucient distance
away
Move the receiver closer
Battery empty Replace the battery (contact the
metering operator)
The module is not active Check the activation procedure has
been applied correctly
The module is transmit-
ting but the data elds
are not populated
The paired sensor is
faulty Contact the metering operator
Faulty module Contact the metering operator
lWARNING!

4 Maintenance
4.1 Battery
The radio module is equipped with a 3.0 V
lithium manganese battery that is not re-
chargeable but can be replaced.
The average battery life is 15 years, calculat-
ed using the factory set-up (mode C1, tiny
telegram: 1 message every 16 seconds) and
in the following operating conditions:
– between -10°C and +0°C for 10% of
lifespan
– between 0°C and +30°C for 80% of lifespan
– between +31 °C and +55 °C for 10% of
lifespan
lWARNING!
Humidity and intense heat may
damage the battery and reduce
its lifespan.
The radio module calculates the residual
lifespan of the battery on the basis of stored
parameters, such as estimated consump-
tion of the electronic board in stand-by
mode, transmitter consumption and num-
ber of transmissions performed.
Battery life depends largely on the frequen-
cy of data transmission set.
4.2 Cleaning
No particular cleaning procedures are
required. However, the installation area
should be kept clean and periodic checks
should be performed to ensure the re-
quired environmental conditions are met.
dPROHIBITED
Use of abrasive products, petrol
or trichloroethylene is not per-
mitted.
4.3 Disposal
The device is composed of materials of vari-
ous nature including metal, plastic and elec-
trical and electronic components. It must be
disposed of in compliance with applicable
local laws regarding special and industrial
waste. The device cannot be disposed of as
domestic waste.
At the end of the product’s life, ensure safe
removal and responsible disposal of com-
ponents, including recycling of batteries, in
compliance with applicable environmental
laws in the country of installation.
