M-Bus solutions into the 169MHz metering dedicated band.
It allows customers test the Wireless M-Bus functionalities and modules performances. All
the devices proposed into the DemoCase are based on ME50-169 and ME70-169 radio
modules.
The DemoCase contains devices based on ME50-169 and ME70-169 radio modules:
ME50-169: it is a 35mW radio module, allowing range up to 5 km.
ME70-169: it is a 1W radio module, allowing range up to 25 km.
For more HW information on ME50-169 and ME70-169, please refer to the dedicated
documentation [1] and [2] available on the Telit web site.
Into the DemoCase, radio modules are configured with “Wireless M-Bus 2013 Part4” Telit
embedded SW. Please refer to the dedicated documentation [6] available on the Telit web site.
SRManagerTool is the PC software to configure and monitor a Wireless M-Bus Network.

In order to build each demoboard :
1. Plug 1 DIP module on 1 EVK board.
2. Screw a SMA antenna on each DIP module.
3. Plug a USB cable to each EVK board.
4. Clip a Snap Ferrite onto the USB cable.

In order to connect a demoboard:
1. Connect the USB cable to the PC.
The Demoboard is supplied directly through the USB connection. In case of mobility is
needed, a +9V battery can be used. When battery is plugged, it has priority on the USB
power supply.
The Snap Ferrites are useful for decoupling the Demoboard from the PC cables. Clip the
ferrites close to the EVK in this way:
2. Check that stand-by (STBY, SW1) and programming (PROG, SW3) switches are turned
OFF.
3. Switch the DemoBoard ON (SW4). Check that the yellow LED LD2 lights on when
power supplying the DemoBoard.
OFF ON
4. Red LED LD3 blinks when the module is transmitting/receiving data frames, corresponds
to pin J1.
5. Green LED LD4 lights on when the module is in normal mode (not stand-by mode),
corresponds to pin J2.

This chapter contains a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up communication between two
ME50/70-169 modules and how to transfer a simple frame from one module to another. One
module will be configured as meter and the other module will act as “other” device (data
concentrator). Telit SR Manger Tool is used both to configure the modules and to transfer
data between them.
1. Switch on the first DemoBoard and connect it to the PC via the RS-232 serial cable;
start SR Manager Tool:
2. Select “Wireless M-Bus” in the “Technologies” panel and click on “Management”; a
