Installation
The installation of the RFM-TX1.1 module is allowed on the GSD8-RFM meters only and the
installation of the RFM-TX2.1 module is allowed on the GMDM-RFM / GMDX-RFM meters.

.
procedure
For the complete configuration instructions, please refer to the software manual.
Once the configuration is completed, connect the module on the meter as shown in the picture.
