1. Introduction

The RFM-C3 is a gateway/data concentrator that collects data sent from Wireless M-Bus devices and transmits them via GPRS signal or
via Ethernet/LAN/Wi-Fi network. It can also be used in conjunction with the mod.MB-MASTER in order to remotely send the data detected
from the wired MBUS modules. The consumption data and the information sent by the compatible devices, are collected by the RFM-C3
concentrator and sent via E-mail SMPT or using FTP/SFTP server connection by using the GPRS network or, alternatively, an Internet
connection via Ethernet/LAN/Wi-Fi network. The E-mail contains the file of the acquired telegrams in txt and csv format and it is forwarded
up to a maximum of five recipients, with hourly, daily, weekly, monthly frequency depending on the configuration set.

    1.3 Installation > Install RFM-C3 in a safe and protected area, away from possible radio shielding that might affect the reception quality. > May not be operated on sites exposed to direct sunshine or in the nearby of heat sources.

  • Page 3: Function And Use

    2.3 Wireless MBUS interface The default mode of the RFM-C3 is the “listen all”. The device will save the telegrams received in a buffer file in the internal memory, up to a maximum of 1000 telegrams. The concentrator overwrites the obsolete telegrams with newer telegrams received from the WMBUS devices, so the buffer file will always contain the most updated reading for each module.

Select Static if you want to assign a fixed IP address or Dynamic if you want the router to set all the net parameters automatically. > Static IP: this field allows to set the address assigned to the concentrator. In Dynamic mode, if the concentrator is not connected to a router it will maintain the Static IP address.
  • Page 6 Note: using of the default SMTP server (Use Default E-mail configuration: enabled) will only allow the pkfile.txt sending (therefore not of the csv file) containing the telegrams received from both wireless and wired MBUS devices. In addition, data sending with hourly frequency will not be available (maximum configurable frequency: 1 data transmission per day).
