Retrieving the data can be done in one of two ways: Connecting to the server’s API https://fm430-api.fludia.com/v1/API/ Selecting data and downloading related files from the dashboard Page 4 / 19... -
Page 5: Setting Up The F-Link
2. Setting up the F-Link Powering up Use the provided power adapter to power the F-Link up. Connecting to Internet Option 1: use the provided Ethernet cable This option is the fastest: just connect the Ethernet cable between the F-Link and your existing modem/router (connected to Internet). -
Page 6: Pairing A Sensor With The F-Link
5. The configuration page appears. You must click on the Wi-Fi icon and select the Wi-Fi you use for Internet connection (usually your Internet box or router). Enter the corresponding Wi-Fi password and click on “OK”. The F-Link green LED turns steady ON once it has managed to connect to the Internet. -
Page 7: Installing The Sensors
4. Installing the sensors Installing the FM232e (optical reading of electricity meters) First identify the type of meter you want to measure. It could be either an electronic electricity meter (with a blinking light) or an electromechanical electricity meter (with a rotating disk). In case the white cable is plugged in the radio/battery box, it is recommended to unplug it (and leave only the optical side connected) before proceeding with the installation. -
Page 8: Installing The Fm232Ir (Optical Reading Of Electricity Meters In Germany)
The FM232e starts measuring automatically. The optical head LEDs (lights) should blink this way: 1. Calibration: red LED blinks for 20 seconds. 2. Validation: green LED blinks every time the meter light blinks (electronic meter) or every time the disk mark (black or red) comes in front of the sensor (electromechanical meter). 3. - Page 9 Then, fasten the optical head to the plastic mount. Use the black screw to tighten the optical head to the mount. If it is an electromechanical meter, make sure the optical head is properly attached to the adhesive plastic mount with the help of the black screw: Stick the system on the meter glass panel, making sure the two arrows are perfectly aligned with the meter disk (face the meter and keep your eyes at disc level for better result): If the arrows are not completely lined up with the disc, loosen the screw, adjust...

Page 10: Installing The Fm232G (Optical Reading Of Gas Meters)
Installing the FM232g (optical reading of gas meters) In case the white cable is plugged in the radio/battery box, it is recommended to unplug it (and leave only the optical side connected) before proceeding with the installation. Clean the meter window. Paste the holder on the glass of the meter, in front of the prior-to- last digit of the index, using the provided adhesive (already fixed on the holder). -
Page 11: Installing The Fm232P (Detecting Meter Pulse Outputs: Gas, Water, Elec, Heat
Connect the white cable between the optical head and the FM232e battery/radio box. On the FM232g battery/radio box, LEDs (lights) should blink Green-Green-Red. (it only means that this sensor has already been paired to an F-Link). The blinking stops after 30 seconds. Installing the FM232p (detecting meter pulse outputs: gas, water, elec, heat…) The FM232p comes with a cable that needs to be connected to the meter pulse interface. -
Page 12: Replacing Batteries In A Sensor
In case of an ATEX certified product such as the FM232g, when operating in an ATEX zone you should only use certified batteries provided by Fludia, so that the product is still considered certified. Once batteries have been removed, the product loses pairing parameters. Therefore, there is a need for pairing after the batteries have been changed. - Page 13 The type of data on display can be chosen and be either curve data (interval data, can refer to electric power or gas volume for example) or index data (cumulative quantity, can refer to cumulated energy or cumulated volume for example). There are two options for curve data: “fill missing data”...

(they are the same as the ones used to access the dashboard). If needed as a first step before implementation, there are several ways to explore the API: CURL command line: curl -u "login:password" "https://fm430-api.fludia.com/v1/API/..." Postman tool swagger.fludia.com (list of requests and test capability) -

This constant can be set through the API (for example to take into account the constant of an electromechanical meter in Wh per disk turn). Default value is 1.
