General Description:
The n-DNet™ Hub is a standalone network interface unit connecting endpoints to the
Mobix patented n-Dimensional Network (see box for n-DNet™ description) It is a feature
rich Hub designed to collect, store and forward data from up to eight meters. Meters could
be in any combination of electric, gas and/or water with Pulse, RS-232 or M-Bus outputs. A
backup battery lasting up to seven years ensures data and operational integrity including last
gasp message so critically important for outage management.
As a node on the patented n-Dimensional mesh network, the n-DNet™ Hub communicates
simultaneously in parallel over RF and PLC there by guaranteeing continuous reliable two-
way communications at the highest cost efficiency. System tempering detection, parameter
driven abnormal consumption and remote service connect/disconnect are among the smart
n-DNet™ Hub unique features.

Installation
1. Bolt the unit to the wall using the two mounting points in the two
corners of the box, or mount on a DIN rail using the dedicated
DIN mounting on the back of the box.
2. Connect the 20 control wires to the bottom pitches according to
the pin numbers. Use the designated screws.
This is a view of the wire connections of the Hub:
According to the scheme of connection:
I. Meter pulse output wires (1, GND, 2, 3, GND, 4, 5, GND,
6, 7, GND, 8)
oThe number indicates the meter’s
number
oEach two meters have a joint ground
connection
Connect the (+) wire to the
numbered input
Connect two (-) wires to the
joint GND connector
II. Valve control (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B)
oThe number indicates the controlled
valve number.
oThe letter indicates which of the valve’s
wires should be connected to the
designated port:
A- first wire (-) of the valve
control wires
B- second wire (+) of the
valve control wires
(see Appendix 3)
3. Connect the power supply cable to a 220/110Vac power source.

Saftey
1. Connect the input and output wires only when mains are not
connected
2. Connect mains only to 100-130Vac power source
3. All AC connections should be done by an authorized electrician
