● Each M-Bus device must connect its (-) signal to the M- Bus (-) signal in the Box

and it's (+) to the (+) signal in the Box.

.

To connect the Box to LoRaWAN sensors

● Install the Box in a central location to ensure the reception of all sensors.
● If the quality of the LoRa signal is good: keep the original antenna installed on the

Box. You can check the quality of the LoRaWAN signal with:

○ A field tester

The Wattsense User Console. Once the Box and the LoRaWAN device are
paired you can verify the

quality of the signa
