1 Overview
The AM100 is a central part of a communication system for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR).
It functions autonomously and collects meter readings from connected meters. The data can
be stored as a virtual meter and after a designated time interval passed on to the Utility Back
Office System (BOS).

The AM100 module can be used for 2 types of applications:

o Transparent readout of the E-meter

o Multi utility approach to readout E-meter, G-meter and W-meter

The communication links have been defined as follows

- Local communication to consumer across wired M-Bus

- Local communication with meters across wireless M-Bus

- Local communication to host E-meter AS220 or AS1440

- Communication to BOS across GPRS

This document describes the AM100 features and functions based on these links.

3.2 General features

The AM100 has been designed with a modular concept in mind and with the NTA-8130
compliancy as objective. It is build to fit the AS220 and AS1440 meter.
• The AM100 obtains its power from the E-meter contact points. The AM100 power is
drawn before the E-meter meter. The AM100 circuit is secured with a fuse. The power
supply is 230V.
• The P1 interface (customer interface) is implemented with 3-pin assigned across the
12-pin connector link of the AS220 meter. The interface supports the EN62056-21,
Mode D protocol.
• The P2 interface (AM100 – gas meter), used for the HAN communication, is
implemented across a UART connection to an 868 MHz low power RF module. It
communicates with the RF-meter and is based on the EN13757-3 wireless M-Bus. It
is fully compliant with EN13757-4 (T1/T2).
• The P3 (AM100 – BOS) interface has been implemented with a GPRS-
communication system. The communication across the GPRS module is based on a
DLMS protocol. Both sides of the link can initiate communication.
• The AM100 can support up to additional meters. Memory capacity is available for 30
days, 24 hr hourly readings with date-time stamps.
• Readings are kept in flash memory. Procedures take into account that readings have
a FIFO reading principle.
• The AM100 is equipped for Over-The-Air (OTA) downloads of firmware. This OTA
procedure is not using the DLMS protocol.
• The AM100 has implemented LED signals to help the installation procedure.
• The AM100 has a Real Time Clock (RTC) on the WMP100 module with its own
battery. It does not support any other function than the clock.
• The AM100 has a SIM card reader that identifies the AM100 in the GPRS network.
• The AM100 is electrically isolated with optocouplers for the connection to the AS220
or AS1440 electricity meter.
• The AM100 has a GPRS antenna positioned in such a way that it least interferes with
the RF antenna and the electronics. The system is designed for external antennas.
The AM100 has an RF antenna positioned in such a way that it maximizes its
reception characteristics. Both antennas are located on the RF module PCB.
• Firmware is kept in flash memory in a restricted area. The update (OTA) procedure is
designed in such a way that the device always remains addressable.

3.3 Transparent application

Using the transparent application of the AM100 module only the E-meter readout is
supported. In that case the protocol of the E-meter is used for remote readout (EN62056-21).
The module is available with integrated or external antenna. This feature has to be defined
before the production of the module.

3.4 Multi Utility application

Using the Multi Utility mode for reading E-, G- and W-meters the AM100 supports 2 PCB
boards:

• PCB 1: GSM/GPRS module

• PCB 2: Wireless M-Bus module or wired M-Bus module

3.4.1 GSM/GPRS module

The main part of the AM100 communication module contains the GSM/GPRS PCB, which
supports the WAN-communication to the head-end system (BOS). Up to 4 meters can be
connected to the AM100. The module provides an own power supply.
The module is available with integrated or external antenna. This feature has to be defined
before the production of the module.

4 Features of the AM100

4.1 GPRS Communication
4.1.1 GPRS Connection
The AM100 facilitate a flexible approach to the support of GPRS communications. It accepts
both GSM and GPRS type incoming calls from the BOS (Head End System).

The AM100 must support 2 different kind of GPRS connection:

- Always On
- On demand

4.1.1.1 GPRS connection ‘Always On’

In case of the ‘always on’ connection the device will try to establish and maintain a TCP/IP
connection via GPRS as soon as power is supplied and in the event of failure it will try to re-
establish the connection immediately.

The AM100 supports the “PING” method to ensure a stable the connection via GPRS:

• In order to maintain the GPRS connection the AM100 sends a ICMP-„Echo-Request“ to

a configurable IP address of the APN
• The PING consists of 3 x ICMP-„Echo-Request“ messages, 15 seconds apart.
• The PING fails if no response is received on the 3 x ICMP-„Echo-Request“ messages.
• The PING sequence should be initiated every 30 minutes.
• The first PING is done after 30 minutes after power up.
• When a PING fails a new GPRS connection is setup.
• When 3 X PING fail the modem is reset.

The attached mechanism to used for the GPRS connection:

0. Reset modem
1. Setup GPRS connection to APN
2. Wait 30 minutes
3. First PING => If OK go to step 2.; If not OK go to step 4.
4. Setup new GPRS connection to APN
5. Wait 30 minutes
6. Second PING => If OK go to step 2; If not OK go to step 7.
7. Setup new GPRS connection to APN
8. Wait 30 minutes
9. Third PING => If OK go to step 2; If not OK go to step 0.

The PING timing and the corresponding IP address is configurable.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 13 of 36

4.1.1.2 GPRS connection ‘On Demand’

In case of the ‘on demand’ connection the device will establish and maintain a TCP/IP
connection only if an actual demand for communication exists.
The AM100 keeps GPRS connection open for configurable time to allow the BOS to set up a
readout session.

It should facilitate a dial in GPRS connection to the BOS on the following events:
• Ring detection on the GSM AM100 channel:
The BOS will call across the GSM channel when it wants to retrieve data from the meter.
After detection of a single ring, the AM100 will turn on the GPRS connection and
establish a connection to the BOS.
• Time determined:
The AM100 will call the BOS at predefined times. This is currently set at once per day but
should be configurable with reference time and schedule.
• Self registration:
At first power up the AM100 tries to register itself at the BOS

4.1.2 Allocation of IP address’s

To allow for flexibility it is envisaged that the AM100 will support allocation of both static and
dynamic IP addresses in the following scenarios:
• Static IP address:
The IP address is programmed into the SIM card/modem prior to installation.
• Reserved IP address:
The modem is provided with the same IP address (reserved) on a daily basis from
Radius Server.

4.1.3 Automatic configuration of APN username and password

As an option to the normal configuration of the APN username and password there shall be
an automatic configuration of these settings.

For the APN username:

The APN username shall be defined by the AM100 to match the meter serial number in
addition to the already configured APN username. If no APN username has been configured
the new defined APN username will be the serial number only.

Examples:
Configured APN username: @esbsmrt.ie
E-meter serial number: 09047499
APN username to use for the communication => [email protected]

Configured APN username:

E-meter serial number: 09047499
APN username to use for the communication => 09047499

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 14 of 36

For the APN password:

The APN password shall de defined by the AM100 and will be based on the meter serial
number in addition to the already configured APN password. If no APN password has been
configured the new defined APN password will be based on the serial number only.
The password algorithm (as dictated by the customer) generates a password based on the
meter serial number.
The algorithm has been defined as MD5 encryption:
The MD5 Hashing algorithm is case sensitive and calculates the password in lower case
only!

Examples:
Configured APN password: secret
E-meter serial number: 09047499
After password algorithm: be12695be5327d36c4976d2011a91caf
Final APN password: be12695be5327d36c4976d2011a91cafsecret

Configured APN password:

E-meter serial number: 09047499
After password algorithm: be12695be5327d36c4976d2011a91caf
Final APN password: be12695be5327d36c4976d2011a91caf

Note:
The meter serial number is always a unique number eg. '--------09047499'.
For the APN username the AM100 has to strip off the leading -------- so the APN username
would be 09047499

4.1.3.1 E-meter interface

To provide the necessary data to the BOS the AM100 has to read the serial number and the
type of meter out of the E-meter.

4.1.4 Firmware and Configuration download via GPRS

The AM100 provides a separate IP server port to allow firmware and configuration download
via GPRS.

4.1.4.1 E-meter interface

During the phase where the BOS initiates a dial to the AM100, the AM100 generally send a
break command the meter serial port to stop any local monitoring of alarms/events. This will
eliminate the possibility of any interference with the meter communications during the
transparent mode of operation within the reading, programming or remote firmware download
process.

4.1.5 Transparent communication to the E-meter via GPRS

The AM100 provides a separate IP server port to allow transparent communication to the E-
meter via GPRS.
As soon as the BOS connects to this Transparent Server port the AM100 opens a
transparent link between the IP connection and the serial port to the E-meter. All data
received over the IP link will be transferred to the serial port and vice-versa.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 15 of 36

4.2 GSM / CSD communication

The GSM / CSD communication is mainly used for service access to the AM100 and to the
E-meter.
It should be prepared to support additional functionality depending on the used application
The CSD communication follows the IEC62056-21 standard (Mode C).
The AM100 will be configured with its own IEC address. It can switch to its firmware and
configuration download mode if it detects the correct address in the request command.

In any other case the AM100 opens a transparent link between the CSD connection and the
serial port to the E-meter.

The number of rings to answer a CSD call depends on configuration.

4.2.2 Transparent communication to the E-meter via GSM / CSD

When the AM100 accepts a call via AM100 it opens a transparent link between the CSD
connection and the serial port to the E-meter. All data received over this link will be
transferred to the serial port and vice-versa.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 16 of 36

4.3 Detailed functionality

4.3.1 GSM signal strength indication
The installer of the AM100 must be able check the GSM/GPRS signal strength during
installation. It is envisaged that the AM100 will read the signal strength directly from the GSM
Engine.

With a short button press the AM100 enters in a test/evaluation mode. In this mode the first 4
LED’s of the user interface have a different functionality and indicate the signal strength.

• LED 1 on => signal strength <= -98 dBm

• LED 1+2 on => -98 dBm < signal strength <= -83 dBm
• LED 1+2+3 on => -83 dBm < signal strength <= -68 dBm
• LED 1+2+3+4 on => -68 dBm < signal strength

During this mode LED 5 and 6 will be off (reserved for further test mode signals). This test
mode will be valid for 10 seconds.

4.3.2 Time Synchronization

In the scenario that the AM100 initiates the call to the BOS using the internal scheduling
facility the AM100 should be synchronised to the meter time and date.

The AM100 should synchronise its time and date to the E-meter time and date
- on power up
- 30 seconds after every full hour

Note:
It is acceptable for the AM100 time and date to be unsynchronised for an hour if the meter
time and date has been changed.
It is proposed to synchronise 30 seconds after every full hour to support synchronising a DST
change without longer delays.

application and functionality.
Short button presses allow the user to step through the submenus.
A long button press enters the submenu currently on the LCD display.

4.3.3.3 Push Button

The yellow push button needs to support a variety of functionalities. There are certain
features to support the basic version of the firmware, but must flexible to support future
applications as well.
In this case a button controlled menu will allow this flexibility.

We distinguish between long and short button presses:

- long button press > 4 seconds
- short button press < 4 seconds

4.3.5 Interval readings – load profile

Interval readings for E-meter and RF-meter are done periodically and readings are stored
persistently in flash memory of the AM100. During GPRS communication with the BOS, the
BOS have the possibility to read out any part of these logged readings.

The interval time for RF-meter reading is 1 hour and stored for the last 10 days (240
readings).
The interval time for E-meter reading is 15 minutes and stored for the last 10 days (960
readings).

In addition, E-meter and RF-meter readings are stored the first of every month at 00:00 for
13 months minimum.
.

4.3.6 Date and Time Stamps

In principle, all events are logged in the AM100 with a time & stamp. These events include
- Downloads of the AM100

- Installation
- Valve commands for the gas meter
- Connect/disconnect commands for the integrated relay of the E-meter
- Fraud detection

4.3.7 Daylight Savings Time (DST)

DST is set on the AM100 by BOS. It can be set as specific date or as last Sunday of March

4.3.8 Tariffs
Tariffs are set by the BOS and kept on the AM100. The tariffs use the RTC on the AM100 to
switch tariffs. Currently the AM100 handles up to 2 tariffs.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4.3.9 E-meter relay switching

The AM100 can switch the E-meter relay using a formatted command after instructions from
the BOS. The E-meter connection / disconnection can be completed in 5 seconds after
command reception on the AM100. To resume current supply, the AM100 enables the E-
meter relay. Therefore the user has to confirm by pressing the yellow E-meter button of the
AS220 or AS1440.

4.3.10 G-meter valve switching

The AM100 can switch the Gas valve after instructions from the BOS.
The G-meter connection / disconnection can last up to 25 minutes since it involves the RF
link and a battery operated device. To resume supply, the AM100 enables the G-meter valve.

4.3.11 Encryption
Encryption is NOT used in the DLMS interface AM100 to BOS. It is implemented on RF
interface using AES-128.

4.3.12 Power interruption

During a power outage, configuration-data or history-data in the process of being written onto
flash memory might be lost. At restart, the AM100 checks the correctness and consistency of
the latest configuration data. If correct, the AM100 will use this configuration. If not (corrupted
due to power outage), the AM100 will revert back to the previous configuration data to
always ensure a consistent and correct configuration-data set. History-data are added when
system restarts.

4.3.13 Transparent mode for direct E-meter access

ELSTER has defined a mode to directly access the E-meter. The GPRS will be instructed to
bypass all AM100 functionality. With this application the BOS can communicate with the E-
meter using the EN62056-21 protocol.
o AM100 is rung by an AM100 call. It can detect a transparent mode call and switch its
mode.
o When connection is established, data get exchanged directly (7 bits, even parity)
o Timing needs to be respected.

4.3.14 Log book

The AM100 keeps a log of the following events and user data:
• E-meter readouts each day 00:00 local time, at least 10 days;
• RF-meter readouts every day 00:00 local time, at least 10 days;
• Fraud events, log of the last 10 detected fraud events and the related start- and
ending-time of the event;
• Additional log data (Monthly values (RF- and E-meter, 15-min interval E-meter)).
• More detailed user/supply tariffs, more accuracy in the 24-hour readouts and more
days that these data are available in the memory.
• More detail in RF-meter readouts, more accuracy and more days that these values
are kept in memory.
• Log maintenance of power interruptions, frequency and duration.
• Log maintenance of power supply outside of the limits.
• Log of the last modifications: Switching of the relay or valve.

AM100 to E-meter:
• Time based tariff switching: BOS can define the times when the switching needs to
be done;
• Desired electricity meter relay status: The BOS can disconnect the supply. The
AS220 / AS1440 meter has an internal relay, which it can switch on command from
the AM100.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 25 of 36

4.5 Optical interface - P0 interface

P0 is the optical port of the E-meter. This requires the E-meter to establish a transparent
connection between the optical port and the AM100 communication port.
Communication via the P0 port is mainly used for service access to the AM100.
It should be prepared to support additional functionality depending on the used application
The P0 communication follows the IEC62056-21 standard (Mode C).
The AM100 will be configured with its own IEC address. It can switch to its firmware and
configuration download mode if it detects the correct address in the request command.

4.6 Customer interface – P1 interface

The AM100 module offers a customer interface (P1 interface). It is implemented by a RJ11
connector, which can be accessed on the module itself. The interface supports the EN62056-
21, Mode D protocol. The settings are: 9600 Baud, 7 data Bits, 1 start/stop bit, even parity.
Using the customer interface every 10s the module transmit all the index data of the
connected E-meter, G-meter or W-meters.
The following information is made available every 10 seconds via port P1:
• Actual meter reading for the electricity meter (on-peak tariff) in 0.001 kWh
• Actual meter reading for the electricity meter (off-peak tariff) in 0.001 kWh
• Actual meter reading for the electricity meter (on-peak tariff) in 0.001 kWh
• Actual meter reading for the electricity meter (off-peak tariff) in 0.001 kWh
• Actual electricity power with a resolution of 0,01kW
• Electricity tariff indicator (on-peak/off-peak)
• Threshold value in A
• Electricity breaker position (on/off)

At least once per 24 hours is available via port P1:

• 24 hourly values of the gas supply in 0.001 m3 including date stamp
• Gas valve position (on/off/released)
• 24 hourly values of the water supply in 0.001 m3 including date stamp

4.7 HAN interface – P2 interface

4.7.1 Connection
When the customer uses additional RF-meters, these can be coupled across an 868 MHz
low power RF link to the AM100. The basic implementation follows the EN-13757 standard
and is also known as wireless M-Bus.

4.7.2 Data elements

RF-meter to AM100:
• RF-meter user readings;
• RF-meter fraud status;
• RF-meter battery status;
• In case the RF-meter is a G-meter - the current valve status

AM100 to RF-meter
• Identification of the connected RF-meter: This information is a unique coupling
between AM100 and RF-meter;
• In case the RF-meter is a G-meter - the desired valve status;

4.8 WAN interface – P3 interface

4.8.1 Connection
The GPRS organizes the connection to the BOS: Several scenarios exist for the AM100 to
call the BOS:
• Ring detection on the GSM AM100 channel: The BOS calls across this channel when
it wants a connection to the AM100;
• Time-determined: On set times the AM100 calls the BOS. The BOS defines this time
or interval;
• The AM100 detects a fraud status;
• At the installation, when the AM100 is powered up by inserting it into the meter. The
AM100 will immediately try to establish a connection to the back office.

All these events are defined and can be configured with a connection from the AM100 to the
BOS.
For successful GPRS connection, the AM100 needs the following data in its configuration:
• APN name;
• Username/password;
If the GPRS connection is made, the interchange will be modified to take place across the
TCP/IP host. This requires the following configuration data:
• Host IP address (possibly with a DNS name in the future);
• Host IP port;

With GPRS and TCP/IP layers connected, the data will be interchanged across the DLMS
protocol. We use the TCP/IP wrapper layer and on top the Association Request and Get/Set
messages.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

4 Features of the AM100 Page 27 of 36

4.8.2 Data elements

The data elements communicated from the AM100 to the BOS are:

• Connection variables, APN, Username/password, IP address/port (r/w);

• E-meter serial number (read-only);

• Present time (r/w, must synchronise with BOS);

• Daylight Saving Time definition (r/w);

• Time dependent connection variables, daytime and interval (r/w);

• Normal/low tariff switching profile, day/week and exception days (r/w);

• Last fraud status of the E-meter (read-only);

• Last E-meter user readings (All meter data and read-only);

• Relay status (r/w);

• Identification number of connected RF module (r/w);

• RF-meter serial number (when connected and read-only);

• RF-meter register reading (read-only);

• RF-meter fraud status (read-only);

• RF-meter battery status (read-only);

• RF-meter valve status (r/w);

• User readout log and event log (read-only);

4.8.3 Firmware upgrade

Outside the normal AM100 - BOS communication, a procedure is implemented to upgrade
the firmware across the GPRS: The upgrade must meet the following requirements:

• Firmware upgrade must be initiated by the BOS;

• The upgrade takes place with an optimal protocol and not DLMS. Aim is to minimize
the update session (a few minutes).
• The AM100 accepts the new firmware only after the upgrade is deemed correct. (bit
errors tested against a type of data-check). If the update is not received correctly, or
the session with the host is unsuccessful, the AM100 will continue the old version.

5 Installation procedure Page 28 of 36

5 Installation procedure
This chapter describes the manual coupling of the system by using unique identification
numbers of the system parts. The procedure starts by powering up the AM100 on the E-
meter.

• At power up, the AM100 reads the E-meter identification number;

• The AM100 established a connection to the BOS via GPRS;
• The installer sets the AM100 into RF-installation mode using the yellow module
button
• The AM100 collects the data ID from other RF connected meters, which are in the
installation mode too
• On the meter LCD the current detected meter ID is displayed
• By pressing the yellow button of the AM100 module the data are confirmed
• The AM100 sends the data ID of all connected meters to the BOS
• The installer inspects the relay and valve positions and finalizes the procedure.

5.1 Installation push button

The yellow push button of the AM100 supports the installer during the installation process. It
has the following main functionalities:
- Enter installation mode
- Step through a list of received RF- or wired M-Bus identifications
- Coupling of selected RF- or wired M-Bus meter
- Exit installation mode

Using the yellow push button with a long button press enters the manual installation mode.
The AM100 takes control over the E-meter LCD and signals ‘RF-INST’ to the installer.
The 3 digit identifier section shows the number of receiving RF-meters ready for coupling.
Example:

1: number of currently selected RF meter

9: total number of detected RF meters

The installer can step through this list via short button presses. The AM100 sends the
corresponding last 7 digits of the RF-meter ID on the display.
A long button press couples the current RF-meter ID to the AM100 and ends the installation
mode.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

5 Installation procedure Page 29 of 36

A short button press calls the next available RF-meter ID.

After displaying all RF-meter IDs without coupling the AM100 shows the end of the list by
writing ‘RF-INST’ on the LCD again. From there on it’s possible to step through the list again.
To exit the RF-installation mode by push button press long while ‘RF-INST’ is shown on the
LCD.

5.2 AM100 – E-meter connection

On inserting the AM100 to the main power of the ELSTER E-meter, the AM100 starts the
following automatic routine:
• Tests the E-meter connection and requests for identification number.
o The green LED 3 blinks during this process.
o The green LED 3 turns to constant green when the connection is made and
the identification number has been found.
The following errors are possible:
• Connection with E-meter does not function properly.
o Installer can use another AM100 and restart the procedure.

5.3 AM100 – WAN connection

After successful E-meter identification, the AM100 starts the next routine:
• Make contact to the BOS via GPRS.
o The green LED 1 starts blinking during this procedure.
o The green LED 1 turns constant when the communication is established.

The BOS understands the open link to the AM100 as part of the installation procedure and
registers the 2 identification numbers of AM100 and E-meter.
The link closes after the registration.

The following errors are possible:

• GPRS can’t reach network.
- Installer can possibly try another AM100 or try once more to contact the BOS.
- The installer can ask the BOS to make the connection to the AM100 from their
end if he can successfully send the barcode identification with his PDA.
• BOS is not available.
- The installer can call BOS helpdesk and ask for priority.

5.4 AM100 - HAN connection using wireless M-Bus

5.4.1 Wireless device address
Wireless M-Bus devices must have a unique device address in the range of the M-Bus
transmission (see address definition in EN13757-4, section 5.5.3.5). After power up the M-
Bus device will start the first transmission with this address as sending device.
If the most significant Bit of the manufacturer ID (M) is 0 then the AM100 may respond with
an access device acknowledge, followed by, in this order:
• A set new address procedure, to an unused address
• A synchronisation command
• A valve command to set the valve in the latest know status (optional)
If the most significant Bit of the manufacturer ID (M) is not equal 0 then the AM100 will add
the device address to the list of configured devices and send the following commands:
• A synchronisation command
• A valve command to set the valve in the latest know status (optional)

5.4.2 Installation procedure

The installer uses the yellow push button on the AM100 to activate the ‘RF-installation’
mode. The AM100 continuously searches in the background for RF-meters sending their
identification number (ready to couple). In the ‘RF-installation’ mode the installer now
searches for a matching RF-meter identification.
• Search for a RF meter with a matching identification number:
o The green LED 5 blinks fast while the installer searches for matching identification
o The green LED 5 turns off if the installer cancels the RF-installation mode without
successful coupling of an RF meter.
Depending on the RF-meter, the installer might have to set the RF-meter into a kind of
installation mode.
The AM100 remains in ‘RF-installation’ mode until it has been successfully coupled to an RF-
meter. The AM100 can cancel the RF-installation after a configurable time.
If the AM100 finds an RF-meter sending its identification number, the Installer checks it
against the correct number printed on that meter. He then couples the RF-meter to the
AM100.

• Installer checks if RF-meter identification number is correct

o The green LED 5 blinks slow while the AM100 couples with the RF-meter
o The green LED 5 switches to constant on successful coupling.
The installer must verify in a 2 minute time span whether-or-not the correct RF-meter is trying
to couple to the AM100. If so, the installer can use the push button to confirm the coupling (If
the 2 minutes is exceeded, the coupling will not take place.)
If the procedure is not completed in the allotted time, the procedure can be repeated.
After a successful coupling of an RF-meter the AM100 builds automatically the connection to
the BOS to register the changes in the configuration file.

AM100 Product manual V1.6

5 Installation procedure Page 32 of 36

• Possible errors
The following errors are possible:

5.5 AM100 – HAN connection using wired M-Bus

5.5.1 General
The E-meter is the master device, meaning that all communication is initiated from it. If there
is an alarm in a connected device then this will only be indicated during the next reading of
the device. It will not generate an immediate alarm. The maximum number of slaves in a
wired configuration is limited to four devices

5.5.2 Scan for new M-Bus devices

The AM100 will maintain a list of device addresses, in the range of 1 to 250, of all devices it
is connected to, through a wired connection (max. number of 4). The installer uses the push
button on the AM100 to activate the ‘Installation’ mode. The AM100 continuously scan for
devices on the wired M-Bus. All responding devices will be registered in the list. This scan
will be suspended for any other data transfer. The scan and the installation will be terminated
if the max. of 4 devices are registered or after one hour. The AM100 will support 2 methods
to discover newly M-Bus devices.

5.5.2.1 Poll for devices with address 0

Address 0 is reserved for not configured M-Bus devices. Each not configured M-Bus device
shall accept and answer all communication to this address (see EN13757-2 section 5.7.5).
The AM100 will select unused device address and set the new M-Bus device’s address to
that using the procedure in chapter 6.4.3.
Following this procedure the AM100 will poll for the device specific data and send the
following
• A synchronisation command
• A valve command to set the valve in the latest known status (optionally)

5.5.3 Set new address

To change the primary address from 0 to an open address the AM100 (master) has to write
address data to the M-Bus device.
The M-Bus device will respond to communications to that device.
This command will not be encrypted.
At any stage after setting the new M-Bus device address, the Bus master may send Location
Information and/or Function Location parameters

5.6 Finalizing the Installation Procedure

The installer can finalize the procedure by checking the LED signals:

- LED 1 lights up continuously (GPRS connection).

- LED 3 lights up continuously (E-meter coupling).
- LED 5 lights up continuously (if RF-meters have been coupled).
- LED 6 blinks slowly as heartbeat (correct FW status)

In the case that LED lights green, the installer needs to inform the BOS.
• LED 5 on green indicates that the E-meter relay does not allow power to be supplied;

From the BOS, the situation can be corrected by sending a command to the AM100.
The installer fills out the meter documentation. He can use the second ID-labels on the
system parts (AM100, E-meter and RF-meters) to stick onto the documentation.
With the barcodes/ID-numbers, the installer can call the BOS to verify with the BOS helpdesk
if the configuration ID-numbers registered by the BOS corresponds with the ID-numbers he
has on the documentation.
If YES, the installation can be completed and the installer can seal the covers.
The installation documentation is to be submitted to administration where address and
contract are assigned to the ID-numbers in the BOS configuration file.
