LOB-GW-SUN-WMBUS
Solar Wireless M-BUS Gateway
Overview
The maintenance-free and lightweight Lobaro Solar Wireless M-Bus
Gateway for indoor or outdoor environments collects consumption data
from up to 500 commercially available water meters, heat meters, heat
cost allocators, etc. with 868 MHz wireless M-Bus radio interface or
Sensus RF Bubble Up and forwards them regularly encrypted via NB-
IoT, LTE-M1 mobile radio or LoRaWAN (configurable) to the Internet for
evaluation and further processing.
Thanks to the
100% battery and maintenance free design
integrated high-performance solar cell in conjunction with an ultra long
life super-capacitor, meter data can be transmitted several times a day
in many applications when mounted with daylight incidence, even
indoors. The achievable readout intervals can, with a suitable installation
location, be many times higher than with our
without the risk of drained batteries and costly maintenance. In addition
to the typical smart metering application for billing, this innovative design
also enables novel areas of application in the field of predictive
maintenance.
The sealed gateway housing is designed to be used indoors and
outdoors (IP66).
The gateway does not contain toxic heavy metals and is not considered
a hazardous good, it is environmentally friendly as an electronic device
can be.
Differences to battery powered variant
This device differs from the
ways:
The device can't be opened in any way It was sealed with
glue during production to achieve high waterproofing for
outdoor use.
A LTE-M / NB-IoT SIM card has been already inserted by
Lobaro. Std. Tarif: 3 MB / per month over 10 years.
The only kind of configuration adjustment can be done via the
Lobaro platform or LoRaWAN downlinks. The USB cable
option is
not
available.
The device is shipped in standby mode. Before first use, it must
be activated via the magnetic contact on the housing indicated
by a dot.
The device uses an audio buzzer instead of an LED for
feedback of power level and operating status.
The default WAN selection is "LTE". Please use the Lobaro
Platform to switch to LoRaWAN if this is the needed uplink
technology.

An ascending tone signals the restart / reset of the device If the device was in standby mode, this flag got reset by this reset / activation. Login into your Lobaro Platform account The device will upload it's status after an initial wMBUS collection phase Note: If the magnet gets removed before the three fast beeps during the rhythmic sound no reset will be performed. - Page 3 Device Reset to default parameters The default configuration can be reset using the external applied magnet between 12 seconds and 15 seconds. There is a single "Beep" indication after 12 seconds. Default parameters are using the Lobaro Platform ( https://platform.lobaro.com ) and NB-IoT/LTE-M as upload target.

- Page 9 Outdoor mounting in the basement staircase Housing attached using GSM-2C clips (4 pcs.) and cable ties. Covered outdoor location good enough for hourly readings. Outdoor pole mounting The gateway was bolted to a wooden board, which was then attached to the pole. Outdoor location good enough for hourly readings 24h / day.
- Page 10 In this test, the internal antenna was compared with an external one, as well as a larger internal supercapacitor with the standard size. Therefore, four gateways were mounted on one pole at the same time. Outdoor impressions Anbindung an das Smart Meter Gateway () SMGW Anbindung ()
