Installation
The installation of the RFM-TX1.1 module is allowed on the GSD8-RFM meters only and the
installation of the RFM-TX2.1 module is allowed on the GMDM-RFM / GMDX-RFM meters.
It is recommended to install the RFM-TX1.1 / RFM-TX2.1 module away from metal objects or any
potential radio shielding, in an place protected from tampering.
