1. Introduction

The RFM-C3 is a gateway/data concentrator that collects data sent from Wireless M-Bus devices and transmits them via GPRS signal or 
via Ethernet/LAN/Wi-Fi network. It can also be used in conjunction with the mod.MB-MASTER in order to remotely send the data detected 
from the wired MBUS modules. The consumption data and the information sent by the compatible devices, are collected by the RFM-C3 

concentrator and sent via E-mail SMPT or using FTP/SFTP server connection by using the GPRS network or, alternatively, an Internet 
connection via Ethernet/LAN/Wi-Fi network. The E-mail contains the file of the acquired telegrams in txt and csv format and it is forwarded 
up to a maximum of five recipients, with hourly, daily, weekly, monthly frequency depending on the configuration set.
