2. Install IntesisBox in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface
(DIN rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).
3. Connect the KNX communication cable coming from the KNX network to the port marked as Port A on IntesisBox
(More details in section 3).
4. Connect the M-Bus communication cable coming from the M-Bus network to the port marked as Port A on
IntesisBox (More details in section 3).
5. Power up IntesisBox. The supply voltage should be 24Vdc. Take care of the polarity of the supply voltage applied.
WARNING!
In order to avoid earth loops that can damage IntesisBox and/or any other equipment connected
to it, we strongly recommend the use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected
to earth.
Never use a DC power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth
.
6. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Ethernet
of

IBOX-KNX-MBUS
.
8. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to IntesisBox as explained in the
IntesisBox MAPS user manual.
9. Visit the Diagnostic section and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and some other RX
frames. This means that the communication with the KNX device and M-Bus devices is OK. In case there is no
communication activity between IntesisBox and the KNX and/or M-Bus devices, check that those are operative:
check the baud rate, the communication cable used to connect all devices and any other communication
parameter.
