4 Introduction
4.1 Purpose
This chapter provides a general description of CMi4110. In the next-coming sections you will learn more
about possible applications for the product and how CMi4110 can be combined
with other products to
build versatile solutions.
4.2 Application description
CMi4110 is a cost-effective LoRaWAN meter connectivity module, which is mounted in a Gyr
UH50 meter or a UC50 calculator. It uses a very energy-efficient scheme to deliver meter data to a
receiving (application) server over a LoRaWAN network. Meter data is securely transmitted, using
LoRaWAN end-to-end security scheme.
CMi4110 can both be retrofitted into deployed meters or mounted before deployment.
4.3 Product features
CMi4110 has the capability to offer a combination of battery operation with very long lifetime and a
versatile application through its many configuration options. Key features of the module include:
•
Long battery lifetime
The module’s EcoMode feature enables the module to achieve a battery-lifetime of at least 11+1
years.
•
No meter installation needed
As soon as the meter connectivity module has been mounted and started up, it will join the
LoRaWAN network and start delivering meter data, i.e. no manual steps need to be taken in
order to install the product in the meter.
•
Quick commissioning
The product uses Elvaco’s One-Touch Commissioning (OTC) solution to securely and quickly
configure products deployed. Us
ing Elvaco’s OTC App, simply enter your desired settings and
place your phone on the right side of the L+G UH50 meter / UC50 calculator. New settings will be
applied instantaneously via NFC.
•
A unique and flexible message scheme
•
Meter data aligned with mete
r’s internal clock and redundant daily energy values enables
coordinated high-precision readouts without network congestion and assures reliable
delivery of daily energy consumption.
•
Several message formats to choose between, including JSON, gives the right fit for the
unique demands of each application.
