FOCUS Electric Meter

Refer to Landis & Gyr documentation for operational information on the FOCUS electric

meters.

Note: Certain functions of the M2e radio are only available on certain FOCUS models. This

section will identify these functions.

M2e AMR Operations

The M2e radio is a full transceiver. Its standard mode of operation is to transmit its standard

data packet on a regular interval. This standard data packet contains the following

information:

 Meter ID

 Meter Read (kWh+)

 Data Flags

 Meter Read (kWh-)

The M2e radio standard transmit interval is 3 seconds.

After each transmission, the M2e radio turns on its receiver and listens for any command

coming from the mobile system transceiver. These commands can be for configuration or

datalogging. This is the mode of handshaking for 2-way communications.

M2e Datalogging

Via the G2 Mobile software, the user can request the following datalogs:

 kWh Consumption (60 min intervals)

 Instantaneous Voltage (1 min intervals)

 Instantaneous Power (1 min intervals)

The data is stored in CSV files on the G2 Mobile laptop for viewing and analysis.

M2e Configuration

Via the G2 Mobile software, the user can perform data verifications and re-configuration of

the M2e settings.

The Landis & Gyr FOCUS meters also have an infrared port which allows a “passthrough”

mode. Utilizing the L&G IR module, the user can perform a configuration of the radio.
