The Smart Meter Adapter

One device, two interface variants and an optional reading head — together they cover every smart meter in the Austrian rollout.

The two adapter variants

Both variants look identical and differ only in the interface board. Which one you need depends entirely on your meter.

SMA MBUS variant

The MBUS variant serves the wired M-Bus interface and, through its built-in antenna, Wireless M-Bus as well. This is the variant for the large majority of Austrian meters.

  • M-Bus
  • Wireless M-Bus

SMA UART variant

The UART variant serves the meter’s serial customer interface — called DSMR, P1 or HAN depending on the manufacturer. Combined with the IR reading head it also reads meters that only output their data optically.

  • DSMR (P1)
  • Infrared (IEC 62056-21)
  • HAN

Both variants look the same. Which interface board is fitted is stated only on the rating label. If you already own a device and do not know which variant it is, that is where to look.

What’s in the box

  • Smart Meter Adapter in the chosen variant
  • RJ12 and RJ45 connection cables
  • USB-C cable for power
  • Detachable WiFi antenna (SMA connector)
  • DIN rail clip
  • Double-sided adhesive pad

RJ12 and RJ45 are both included — you do not have to choose a connector type when ordering.

optional

IEC 62056-21 IR reading head

For meters with an optical interface. The head conforms to IEC 62056-21, attaches magnetically to the meter and connects to the UART variant with an RJ12 cable.

The reading head conforms to IEC 62056-21 and therefore fits the standardised optical interface of practically every smart meter. It attaches magnetically to the meter and connects to the UART variant with an RJ12 cable. It is mandatory for optical meters.

  • IEC 62056-21 IR reading head with magnetic mount
  • RJ12 connection cable

USB power supply is mandatory
