General information
A distance of less than 50 cm between the pumps and the module can
infl uence the counting behaviour of the add-on radio module.
Metallized veneers (e.g. chrome) impair optimum radio reception. It is recom-
mended to replace existing chrome rosettes with „radio rosettes“. With this
special rosette design, the shielding eff ect for radio waves is minimised.
Placing the add-on radio module on refl ective surfaces can lead to unwanted
behaviour or errors.
Commissioning
Parameterization
Before operation with a water meter prepared for radio communication, the add-on
radio module must be parameterised with the meter parameters (meter number,
meter reading and medium: cold or hot water and, if necessary, a diff erent billing
date) of the associated mechanical water meter. For this purpose, the Q suite 5
meter software in conjunction with the infrared communication head WFZ.IrDA-USB
is required.
Registration in the radio network
New add-on radio modules are not radio active when delivered. To ensure radio
transmission, built-in device combinations must be started by radio or registered in
the radio system.
Depending on the type of radio system used, any system-related requirements for
registering the device combination must be observed.
In the fi eld of AMR network technology, for example, the appropriate installation
mode must be activated before starting the installation telegrams on the measuring
device side.
The radio add-on module is activated by means of a programming stick / triggering
tool Radio telegrams WFZ.PS, or alternatively by the measuring instrument software
Q suite 5 in conjunction with the IrDA communication head WFZ.IrDA-USB.
Note
After activating the radio interface, the LED fl ashes slowly for about 4 minutes.
Safety information
The device may only be installed by trained specialist personnel. The device is
maintenance-free.
For the non-replaceable lithium metal battery permanently installed in the unit,
regulations for the transport of hazardous goods and for recycling as well as safety
instructions for handling batteries must be observed.
Intended use
The unit is a top-mounted module with radio data transmission.
This product is used exclusively for retrofi tting mechanical water meters prepared
for radio transmission for use in the Q walk-by and Q AMR systems.
Warranty and guarantee
Warranty and guarantee claims can only be asserted if the equipment has been
used for its intended purpose and applicable technical specifi cations and rules have
been observed.
All uses not in accordance with the intended purpose automatically lead to a loss of
claims.
Assembly and operating instructions
This product must be installed professionally and according to the specifi ed installa-
tion guidelines and may only be installed by trained and qualifi ed personnel.

Technical description
The add-on radio modules Q module 5.5 water Allmess transmit data from Allmess
water meters type „Measuring capsule system MK +m“ and type „Domestic water
meter V +m“ to the Q AMR and Q walk-by systems. The add-on radio modules can
be used with the various meter designs.

Remove empty module
To install a radio add-on module, the empty module must fi rst be removed.
1. Place a screwdriver in the positions.
2. Turn the screwdriver to open the lock of the empty module
with the counter housing. This will separate the type plate at
the perforation.
3. Remove the empty module.
4. Check the cover of the scanning disk before attaching the
add-on radio module.
1. Place the add-on radio module fl ush on the water meter with
an approx. 3 mm wide gap.
2. Push the add-on radio module against the counter housing
with a little force after mounting.
3. The gap of approx. 3 mm closes. The add-on radio module
must be fl ush all round! Please check!
4. To protect against manipulation, the add-on radio module should be secured with
the enclosed adhesive seal made of security foil. For this purpose, the adhesive
seal is used to connect the counter housing and the add-on radio module.
Glue the seal between two bars on the right-hand side so that the seal is not
damaged when cylinders / rosettes are pushed on.
Securing the add-on radio module
The add-on radio module can be secured against accidental detachment from
the water meter either with a rosette or with an optionally available mounting ring
(mainly in mounting boxes).
Thus either the rosette together with the cylinder or only the mounting ring can be
pushed on after the module has been installed.
Important notes on installation
The use of these add-on radio modules in areas with constantly high humidity
(e.g. direct shower areas or shafts) should be avoided, as in the long term
humidity can diff use through the plastic meter cover and impair readability
and opto-electronic scanning. Furthermore, water meters must be installed
frost-proof!
Mounting the add-on radio module
After removing the empty module, the radio add-on module can be mounted.
Note
To ensure trouble-free operation, the scanning disk should
be clean and free of damage or scratches.
