    Pixii controller is not equipped with M-Bus port, therefore USB to M-Bus converter (optional kit) needs to be used. Connect it to free USB port on Pixii controller and connect Ethernet cable to RJ45 connector on converter. On meter side are 2 possible options for connecting communication cable. If only Pixii controller will be connected to AC meter, connect Ethernet cable directly to RJ45 connector on meter.
