RFM-LR1

There are at least five startup transmissions. The Status command (index 0x20) is sent unless a reply to a 

downlink is sent. If no replies are sent the Status commands are sent with increasing intervals starting with 

15 seconds and ending with two minutes. This startup sequence should be utilized to set the starting value of 

the water meter (if not equal to 0 m

3

). For accurate calibration, the water meter should not be used during the 

calibration.

Standard devices are configured to use OTAA (Over The Air Activation). It is possible to order a batch of devices 

configured for ABP (Activation By Personalization). 

 

Standard devices are configured with the AppEUI (a.k.a. JoinEUI) 70-B3-D5-D7-2F-F8-1301. It is possible to 

order a batch of devices configured with a customer unique AppEUI for this contact B METERS support. 

 

Upon receiving your RFM-LR1 you can request from B METERS the necessary information to connect it to your 

network server. This consists of the following: 

1. DevEUI 

2. AppKey 

These codes are unique for each device. The DevEUI can be seen as a unique identification code, the AppKey is 

a securely generated authentication code.
