Introduction

The MBWBLUE is a portable radio receiver for wireless M-Bus resource meters
(currently capable of handling Mode T1, T2, C1), which is equipped with a Bluetooth
interface. A rechargeable lithium ion battery assures operating times up to 20 hours
with one charge.
The MBWBLUE is usually used in conjunction with a handheld computer for mobile
reading of radio consumption meters (electricity, gas, water, heat and others).
Due to its watertight enclosure (IP64) and its mechanical rugged construction
(EN 60721 class 7M3) it can be used in harsh environments without additional
protection.
Additionally, the MBWBLUE is equipped with a serial interface to connect e.g. optical
meter configuration devices.

Important Considerations

• The specific purpose of the MBWBLUE is the mobile reception of M-Bus Mode
T1, T2 and C1 consumption meter radio frames and the transmission to a
handheld computer via Bluetooth interface.
• The MBWBLUE may only be operated by trained personnel.
• The MBWBLUE is only to be used in environments in conformity with its
protection rating (IP64) and operating temperature range (-5°C to +55°C).
• The integrated rechargeable lithium ion battery may not be charged at
temperatures below 0°C or above +45°C (battery charging only at 0°C to
+45°C)
• Only the accompanying charging device may be used to charge the
MBWBLUE. Do not operate the charging device without the proper wall plug
adapter. The charging device may only be used in dry and weather-protected
environments.
• Do not use force to insert the round battery charger plug. Turn it until it you
can gently push it into the MBWBLUE connector. Do not screw it too tight.
• Charge the MBWBLUE completely before using it the first time.
• The MBWBLUE is not a calibrated measuring device. The transmitted meter
counts and consumptions are of informative character only.
