1. Kit Contents
The Wireless M-Bus Demonstration Kit contains the following items:
 Wireless M-Bus Demonstration Board
 3.6 V Lithium battery
 USB cable
 AC to DC power adapter
 868 MHz antenna
2. Introduction
The purpose of the Wireless M-Bus Demonstration Kit is to demonstrate a low-power meter application using the
Wireless M-Bus stack. The demonstration has three basic system components:
 Wireless M-Bus Meter Demonstration Kit (Meter)
 Monitor
 PC Application
The Wireless M-Bus Meter Demonstration Kit performs the basic metering functions. It will either count pulses or
measure the temperature. The Meter will also periodically wake up and transmit the data using the Wireless M-Bus
protocol.
The Monitor measures and displays the current consumption of the Meter. The Monitor also communicates with the
PC application and configures the Meter over a UART connection.
The Wireless M-Bus Demonstration board is shown in Figure 1. The right half of the board implements the Meter,
and the left half of the board implements the Monitor.
