of the M -Bus Splitter has to be dem ounted from the unit and
mounted on the wall. The M-Bus Splitter will then be snapped on
to the black m ounting bracket.

Operat ion
When the Splitter is powered up it takes up to 5 minutes before it
is ready to use since it needs charging. During charging, all LEDs
will flash four short flashes in order every three seconds.
1.
There are four settings to be done to adapt the Splitter to
the installation. This is done by setting the jumpers in on
or off mode. See Settings for m ore information.
2.
Start the meter installation by changing the position of
any jumper (off to on/on to off). Put the jumper back to
its original position. See settings.
3.
During scanning, the LED for M-Bus IN flashes with a
short flash every second. Depending on the scanning
speed the scanning time varies from 1 to 8 minutes.
4.
When the scanning is completed, the M-Bus Splitter is in
norm al operation. See LED indications.
Troubleshoot ing
Make sure that:
1.
All cables are connected properly, both on the M-Bus
Splitter and on the M-Bus m aster.
2.
The voltage on M-Bus IN is greater than 23 VDC. If the
voltage is lower, disconnect one m eter at a tim e to find
the failing m eter.
3.
The voltage on M-Bus OUT2 is greater than 26 VDC. If
the voltage is not w ithin this range, check the function of
the M-Bus master. Connect external 24 VAC power
supply when connecting more than one meter. When
low voltage is detected on M-Bus IN, all LEDs flashes
four times.
4.
The connected M-Bus m eters all have unique prim ary
addresses.
