3.2
Interfaces and connections
UniCo
has three physical connection inter-
faces and three wireless connections.
The physical connections are located at the
bottom of the instrument.
3.2.1
USB-C interface
The USB-C interface makes two operations
available:
– Interfacing with reading/programming
programs
Maddalena
and allowing firm-
ware upgrades via the appropriate down-
load software.
– Charge the device.
l
WARNING!
UniCo cannot be recharged when
the ambient temperature ex-
ceeds 35°C.
3.2.2
BlueTooth interface
The BT interface allows wireless connection
UniCo
to a Windows PC or Android Tablet
for reading and programming operations of
compatible devices.
The device must be associated with the PC/
Tablet before it can be operated. A suita-
ble reading and/or programming program
must be installed on the tablet or PC.
3.2.3
Optical port interface (IEC 62056-21)
The interface for the optical port is
equipped with a 3.5 mm jack connector that
allows connection with the optical head P/N
1.ETRMD.1510 for programming compati-
ble devices.
3.2.4
M-BUS (Master) interface
The interface uses the M-Bus protocol in ac-
cordance with EN 13757.
The device acts as a Master for program-
ming compatible devices.
The maximum electrical load of the M-Bus
interface is 5 UL (unit load).
3.2.5
NFC interface
The NFC port (ISO 15693) is located on the
back of the device and is identified by the
symbol:
The NFC port allows configuring compatible
devices.
The NFC port has a limited speed and range.
It is necessary to keep the
UniCo
adhered
to the device to be configured for as long as
necessary for the operation.
3.2.6 ISM 868 Radio Interface
UniCo
is equipped with an ISM 868 MHz
band radio with internal antenna.
This radio can be used to read devices us-
ing the wM-Bus protocol (EN13757) in T1/C1
modes and transfer this data to the app or
reading software.
UniCo's 868MHz radio interface, together
with the appropriate software/app, can be
used to radio-program compatible devices.
