Installation and operating instructions
PDC – Pulse Data Capture Modul
General information
The PDC module (Pulse Data Capture) is used to
integrate meters with a pulse output in radio
systems or smart metering systems. The PDC is
also referred to as a wireless M-Bus or LoRaWAN®
converter. It processes pulse signals generated
by the meter, converts the information into radio
signals and transmits the radio telegrams to suit-
able receivers or receiving systems. With the PDC
module, conventional meters with a pulse interface
can be upgraded to wireless meters. The module is
mainly used in the field of energy management and
consumption recording. Users are usually utility
companies and service providers in the areas of con-
sumption recording, billing, energy monitoring, etc.
Operational safety is only guaranteed if the device
is used as intended, according to the manufacturer.
No liability is accepted for damage caused by other
uses. Any modification is only permitted with the ap-
proval of the manufacturer. Otherwise the manufac-
turer's declaration will become void.

General information on handling lithium batteries
or devices with lithium batteries:
Caution! The following must be observed when
handling lithium batteries and devices with lithium
batteries.
store protected from moisture
■
do not heat or throw into fire to avoid explosions
■
do not short-circuit
■
do not open or damage
■
do not recharge
■
do not store within reach of children
■
Typical applications:
Wireless remote readout of water meters with
■
walk-by or drive-by system
Radio transmission of the readings to mobile or
■
stationary receivers
By the means of the PDC module conventional
meters with pulse output can be integrated in radio
or M-Bus systems in an easy and cost-efficient way.
For this purpose, the pulse output of the meter
is to be connected with the battery powered PDC
module.
