GE552Y053 repeater devices are provided with a MESH- ID=1 and channel 13, make sure that
all the repeaters and/or GE552Y058 have the same MESH network ID and radio channel
through GE552Y056
Before connecting anything, switch the power off, complete the cabling, close the lid and
power the device on.

5.POSITIONING AND OPERATING DISTANCES
1) Fix the GE552Y053 repeater on fastening wall at a minimum
distance of 20 cm from the ceiling and from the adjacent wall.
2) The maximum operating distance between the devices
installed on the same floor is 25 meters, with no major
obstacles such as reinforced concrete or metal walls, columns
or beams or other metal structures.
3) The maximum operating distance between the devices
installed on different floors is 15 meters.

6. REPEATER NETWORK CONFIGURATION
1. Power on GE552Y058, connect to web interface and start antenna and device scan following
the user's manual
2. Power on the first device GE552Y053 to be installed and move it away to a minimum distance
of 5 metres from GE552Y058
3. Fixed blue GE552Y053 LED shows the connection to the MESH network
4. Once connected, it shows the MESH radio signal quality to the gateway, by turning on the green
front LED, 1 – insufficient reception, 2 – sufficient, 3- good, 4 – excellent
5. Put GE552Y053 in a place where the reception signal is >=2 and of all the W. M-Bus
devices you expect to receive with this antenna is satisfactory
6. Check through GE552Y058 web interface or through GE552Y056 software and a PC connected to the
antenna by USB that W. M-Bus devices, that you want to receive, reach the GE552Y053
7. Fasten the GE552Y053 and proceed with powering a second repeater keeping at least 5 metres
away from both the GE552Y053 and GE552Y058
8. Once connected, it shows the MESH radio signal quality to the gateway, by turning on the front LED,
so proceed as for the first GE552Y053
a) The scanning phase is 12 hours. You can modify its duration through GE552Y058
b) You can have various independent GE552Y053 networks in the same building , in that case,
you need to have different ID or channel for each GE552Y056 group and the relative
GE552Y058.
You can modify these parameters through GE552Y056 software installed on a pc and connected via
USB to GE552Y053, see user's manual for details.
c) In case the receiver receives more than 500 W. M-Bus devices or it receives devices belonging
to other plants, it might be necessary to make it selective. Therefore, you can load a list of W. M-Bus
devices marked by their serial number through GE552Y056 software.
In this way, the repeater will receive the data exclusively from the listed devices.
d) The USB / Mini USB cable is not included and is not present in the package

TROUBLESHOOTING
1) The device does not start:
- in case of network power supply, check that the power is on
- in case you are using a USB port, check the USB cable quality and that the PC is enabled
to handle 500 mA of electrical power
2) The blue LED light does not stop flashing:
- check that the device GE552Y058 is on and that the antenna is connected and in good position
(avoid placing it in switchboards or shielded environments)
- 1 blink "RAM memory error", 2 blinks "W.M-Bus radio module error",
3 blinks "MESH radio module error", 4 blinks "FLASH memory error", 5 blinks "Real Time Clock error"
- If turning off and restarting the GE552Y053, the error does not reset, the hardware
must be replaced.
- check that GE552Y053 is at least 5 metres distant from GE552Y058 and from other GE552Y053
- check that the ID and the MESH network channel are correct using GE552Y056 sw and are the
same ones used by GE552Y058
3) Not all the meters are revealed:
- check that the meters that were not revealed are not too distant from GE552Y053 or that
the signal is not disturbed by thick concrete or metal walls
- check that the devices are on the list loaded in GE552Y053 or that the W. M-Bus devices
list receivable from GE552Y053 is not blocked
- warning: some W.M-Bus devices transmit periodically (within hours)
- check that the MESH network is not interrupted using GE552Y058 web interface or GE552Y056 sw
