Gateway API User Guide Introduction EpiSensor’s ZHM Wireless M-Bus Interface is designed to make it easy to collect data from a wide range of heating, cooling and other energy meters using the M-Bus wired communications standard. The ZHM-21 also includes a relay output that can control a valve, allowing remote shut-off via the API on the EpiSensor Gateway.
RSP_UD (Data Transfer from Slave to Master after Request) has been received is it parsed by the ZHM which then maps particular M-Bus “Value Information Fields” to EpiSensor Sensor IDs. It also converts from value specific data types to EpiSensor data types.

The switching capability of the ZHM relay is 0.1A at 250V (~ 25 Watts). There is one ‘normally open’ and one ‘normally closed’ connection option. For additional technical information on the relays, like rated voltages, currents, and type - please check the ZHM datasheet. User Interface There are two LED’s and one button on the front panel of the ZHM product range that are used to show the status of the product and to issue commands.
If the LED is On Solid, the node is searching for a Gateway to join. If it is Off, the node may not be powered, or there is a problem with the node. Check the power supply, and if the problem persists, contact EpiSensor support. Page 10 of 18...
Alt LED The Alt LED will flash when data is transmitted or received on the ZigBee wireless network. For mains powered nodes, it will always be active - but for battery powered nodes, it will only be active when in Command Mode. Mode Button The following options are available with Command Mode.
This mode expires after 15 minutes for Install Mode and 5 minutes for Site Survey Mode. Electrical Installation The ZHM is a mains powered device. The mains cable is colour coded to conform to European CENELEC standards. The CENELEC standard insulation colours are as follows: Live –...
Mounting Instructions The ZHM product range will have two (ZHM-20) or three (ZHM-21) cable glands at the bottom depending on the model. The ZHM requires 2 screws for mounting. These screws can be preinstalled on a vertical surface spaced 122mm vertically apart.
The label material is gloss white PVC foil with permanent adhesive and gloss overlaminate. The following table lists the certification and safety symbols that appear on the certification labels of EpiSensor products. Please refer to it for a definition of each symbol.
Wireless Communications All EpiSensor products use IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee Pro for wireless communications operating at 2.4GHz. This is a secure, scalable mesh networking communications protocol designed for transmitting small amounts of data reliably, and at low power levels.

There are two types of ZigBee radio module used across the EpiSensor product range, a power amplified version, and non-power amplified version. The power output of nodes with a power-amplified module can be configured with an output power level of +20 dBm depending on the region they are deployed in.
