CMi-Box - Wireless M-Bus Receiver

CMi-Box Receiver

The CMi-Box Receiver is a powerful wireless M-Bus receiver, which is housed in a ready-to-install polycarbonate casing. When used in combination with an Elvaco CMe gateway, it processes meter data for electricity, water, gas and heating, using radio technology to handle up to 800 wireless M-Bus meters that are connected to it.

This CMi-Box is made up of a Wireless M-Bus Receiver mounted in a protective enclosure. The product can be used with a Gateway from Elvaco's CMe Series to enable communication with Wireless M-Bus meters. CMi-Box handles up to 800 meters, each one secured by individual encryption keys.

The wireless M-Bus Receiver comes in different variants that differ in terms of their voltage (24 V or 230 V) and the position of the antenna for wireless data transmission. In addition, customers can choose between conventional models and Enhanced devices.

The CMi-Box’s robust polycarbonate casing provides reliable protection for the M-Bus Receiver. The product is directly mounted on the wall using special brackets. The CMi-Box Receiver has interfaces to a wireless M-Bus receiver and M-Bus slaves.
