The user ID (HEX coded; here 0x04) means:
First position (1
st
nibble/here 0) contains the
information for the communication port:
0: unknown;
8: GSM modem;
9: opto-port.
Second position (2
nd
nibble/here 4) contains
a unique user ID 0 to F, e.g. 6 =>
manufacturer; further information is to be
requested from the meter owner.
Additional manufacturer-
specific data
In the case of event 5 “Restart demand” and
event 6 “Restart”, the meaning of the addi-
tional data is as explained below:
▷
The HEX values must always be itemized in pairs
(1 byte).

played “LSB first” coded.
▷
LSB first: least significant byte first.
▷
MSB first: most significant byte first.

Establishing an optical
communications link
▷
In order to configure the electronic index for the
respective application, the optical communica-
tions link must be activated.
Position the opto-adapter head on the interface
provided.
Press any user key.
▷
Optical communication is enabled for 1 minute.
▷
If the optical communications link is not used
during this time, the interface will be deactivated.
Initiate communication.
▷
The procedure depends on your user software.
Setting the index parameters
▷
The index parameters can be adjusted using the
user equipment. Please contact manufacturer.
Replacing the communication
module
WARNING
Risk of explosion in explosion-hazard areas!
– As a general rule, maintenance and repair work
should be avoided in explosive atmospheres.
– Check that the electrical system complies with
the special electrical explosion protection re-
quirements.
– When working on electrical equipment in an
explosion-hazard area, only design-approved
electrical operating equipment may be used.
– Use original spare parts supplied by Elster
GmbH, see page 14 (Spare parts).
▷
When changing the SIM card together with the
communication module or just exchanging the
SIM card, the optical communications link has
to be established, see page 8 (Establishing
an optical communications link).
▷
For safe handling in an explosion-hazard area,
the order of the following steps has to be en-
sured.
