Product overview

Application description

CMi6160 is a meter connectivity module (MCM) that can be mounted inside a Diehl SHARKY 775 heating/cooling meter or a Diehl SCYLAR heating/cooling energy calculator. As soon as the module has been mounted and activated, it will start to deliver meter data to a receiving system via the NB-IoT network. The module is easily configured using the Elvaco OTC App or via a device management (DM) system. CMi6160 comes with several different message formats to choose from, developed to suit your specific metering application. It is ideal for applications where long range is required. The CMi6160 can be battery operated for up to 13 years. Meter data delivery and device management utilizes standard protocols, such as MQTT-SN and LwM2M for easy integration to existing systems.

Features

CMi6160 comes with a wide feature set, with the possibility to adapt its function based on your specific metering project. Some of the key features include:

  • IoT-ready: As soon as the meter connectivity module has been mounted and activated, it will automatically initiate transmission of meter data over a NB-IoT network, without any manual steps needed. The CMi6160 is prepared for seamless integration with all leading IoT platforms.

  • Mains or battery powered: Thanks to its efficient power usage, CMi6160 can be battery operated for up to 13 years with daily transmission of meter data. If preferred, the module can also be mains-powered.

  • One-Touch Commissioning: The Elvaco OTC App enables fast, secure configuration and deployment of SHARKY and SCYLAR meters. Enter your desired settings in the Elvaco OTC App and hold your phone to the upper left corner of the meter. Settings are applied instantly via NFC. On firmware ≥ 1.3.2, the module can also be set to activate automatically when water flow is detected, removing the need for any in-field configuration.

  • Flexible message scheme: CMi6160 has different message formats to choose from, making it easy to setup the device for your specific metering project. If using Transparent mode, the customer defined telegram within the meter can be forwarded, allowing a customized way of setting up the data being sent from the module.

  • Push of alarms: Always stay up to date with the status of your meter park. The Meter Alarm Monitor sends alerts from the field, so you can quickly address issues and maintain optimal performance.

Compatibility

CMi6160 is compatible with Diehl SHARKY 775 and SCYLAR 548 meters with a compatible firmware version. Once the module is mounted and starts up, a compatibility check is made to ensure that it is compatible with the meter firmware. If the module is mounted in an incompatible meter, this is indicated in the Elvaco OTC App.

The power for CMi6160 is supplied via an external battery pack, unrelated to the power supply of the meter.
