Accidental suspensions reset the association with the 

app, so the radio must always be selected again.

To select the radio, press 

“TYPE OF ANTENNA” on the 

home page and select the appropriate radio from the 

list. Press 

“CONTINUE SCAN”.

Scanning can be resumed. The app shows the status of 

previously scanned radios.

Press 

“TERMINATE” to end the operations and down-

load the scans file from the dialogue box.

5.3  wMBus 868 scan

In the case of the wMBus 868, the connected radio devic-

es act as receivers only.

The wMBus 868 radios transmit a wMBus compliant 

message every x minutes (depending on the model), 

which are received and saved by the 

Arrow Mobile app.

Before starting the wMBus 868 scan, select the receiver, 

which can be the USB dongle 868 (via USB), or Arrow Col-

lect or UniCo (via Bluetooth).

To start the scan, click on “

START” on the top right of the 

home page, or on “

START NEW SCAN”. 

The terminal will start a broadcast read, i.e. it will read 

all 

Maddalena radios, whether in the database or not.

The protocol employed by 

Maddalena radios is a strict 

implementation of EN13757, and hence is able to receive 

any radio compliant with that standard, even if it is not a 

Maddalena device.

The map and meters display is exactly the same as that 

for the 169 devices, with the difference that you cannot 

scan a single 868 radio.

All readings are saved: both those of the radios included 

in the database and those outside it. 

NOTE: 

when a scan is in suspended status, the app stores the 

scan information taken that turn.

While a scan is in suspended status, the app can be 

closed and the radio disconnected.

When the app is next restarted, the scan can resume 

from the point at which it was suspended.

To keep the display of scans made up to that moment, 

the file of the meters on the map must not be edited. See 

section “Interrupted/suspended scan”.

It is therefore important not to start a new scan. See sec-

tion “Broadcast scan”
