Document specifications This documentation was made for the installation and configuration of the WM- E3S 4G CI (Customer Interface version) modem and the WM-E3S 4G CI R ® ® (Customer Interface and relay output version) modem. Document Version: REV 1.5.1 WM-E3S 4G CI ®... -
Page 3: Chapter 1. Introduction
The Customer Interface (CI) version receives data from the meter in the scheduled intervals, therefore can readout the meter registers over the parameters. All over these, the „R” version (WM-E3S 4G CI R modem) has relay output, ®... - Page 4 The modem can be used with push data transmission method, thus the modem can initiate the communication with the AMR centre periodically at a pre- programmed time interval or triggered by an alarm (power outage, cover removal, reverse run, etc.) The device can be configured through the serial port, but can be performed through TCP connection remotely.

- Page 8 Snap the modem unit (mainboard + expansion board) into the communication module terminal’s plastic enclosure by sliding into, through the guiding rails of the case. Insert the modem into the right orientation into the slot. Check the 12-pin data connector (3) position – according the next picture. Push the modem into the terminal enclosure, until you’ll hear a click sound.
- Page 9 The interface connector (3) is close to the SMA antenna connector (6) (right top side on the picture). At the center of the modem you will found two plastic hooks, which helps you at the fixation into the enclosure. (If you want to remove the modem board, push these hooks carefully, and you can free to remove the communication module from the terminal case.)
- Page 10 After assembling, attaching the modem terminal unit and turning on the meter, the modem will be immediately powered on, and its operation is confirmed by the LED signals.

Page 12: Antenna Connection
2.7 Antenna connection For proper operation of the communication module it is necessary to have appropriate signal strength. In places where the signal strength is strong it is possible to use internal antenna, for areas with poor reception mount an external antenna (50 Ohm SMA-M connected) to the antenna connector (6) of the device, which you can place inside even inside the meter enclusre (under the plastic housing). -

Chapter 3. Modem Installation Guide The WM-E3S 4G CI communication module unit can be configured by the a WM- ® E Term v1.3.19T or newer version or the DM Set / AlphaSet software which is also ® ® ® suitable for setup the electricity meter through a serial connection. - Page 14 9. Or it’s also possible to open a pre-defined configuration file with the Open File menu (after opening the file you can edit the configuration) 10. Choose the Modify / Modem Settings option from the menu and give the APN server name to configure the access point name for the secure logon. (Then the modem will be communicating on the transparent data port number 9000, by default.) 11.

The APN name, user and password parameters are also required for push mode operation. The device will connect to the defined TCP port. Event Push data format: DLMS WPDU contains the IP address, listening port number for transparent service, and the meter ID.
- Page 21 When You’ll save the DM-Set configuration file, please consider that the filename must be used the following naming convention: IMEINumber_MeterCode_SN<MeterSerialNumber>_Date_Time_<4- digit_counter>.TXT file format. Example: 123456789012345_ELS5_SN12345678_20140101_010000_1234.TXT All strings in parameters must be fit to the IRA character set. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU_T.50 If You’re using a 3G capable version of modem hardware it is highly recommended to set the modem to 2G communication mode for reliable CSD connection.
