Notice on Interference
Class B digital
device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation.
Use of radio
frequency
energy
This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
Preventing
interference
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

RF Description
®
This module enables the WebRTU
EpIO’s via radio frequency;
Z2 to communicate with multiple
The network between the data concentrator and the EpIO’s is self-forming
and self-healing, with the data concentrator acting as central master and
the EpIO’s acting as slaves. It is self-forming because after installation,
each EpIO auto-configures itself and detects if any other possible EpIO’s
are in the vicinity, thereby creating a network capable of expanding itself
without any manual intervention. Each EpIO sends its consumption data
via RF directly or indirectly to the data concentrator. Indirect
communication is possible thanks to the dual role of the EpIO: It and can
send its own data to the data concentrator but can also act as a repeater
for the data of another EpIO simultaneously. Moreover, the network is
self-healing due to automatic repair when one device fails (due to
disconnection, fire, etc…): a remote EpIO simply detects another EpIO in
its vicinity to send its data to.
This network communication is very similar to the one used by routers on
the Internet, which communicate amongst each other and update their
internal routing tables, in order to recalculate a new routing path should a
router fail. But contrary to this mesh-networking by routers, EpIO’s can
never serve as master, only as slave or as submaster; in which case a
single EpIO collects the data from multiple EpIO’s before sending it to the
®
WebRTU Z2 (the master data concentrator).

Installing the
RF modem
Note
This section is meant to be purely informative; the RF modem and
®
antenna may only be installed and repaired by EnergyICT personnel.
®
Proceed as follows to install the RF modem on the WebRTU
board:
Z2 main
1 Switch off the device and make sure it is no longer powered.
2 Loosen the protective panel screws.
3 Remove the protective panel.
4 Insert the RF modem, making sure that all pins of the card fit exactly in
the designated pin connections. If any resistance is felt, or if the card
was not correctly inserted, gently remove the card and insert again.
Always make sure the pins are never damaged.
5 Install the antenna. The RF antenna is packed together with the
®
WebRTU Z2.
- Remove the antenna from the package.
®
- Screw the antenna to the copper fitting on the WebRTU Z2.
- Make sure to check the reception before fixing the antenna.
Note
Antenna’s are fixed to the RF module and are not exchangeable. They
®
are installed by EnergyICT at production time and may not be installed
or removed by the customer. For all installations and repairs to the RF
®
®
antenna, please send your WebRTU Z2 to EnergyICT .
6 Replace the protective panel.
7 Fasten the screws.
