The INDIV-5 AMR network node is used to receive
and handle the data transmitted by INDIV-5 Heat
Cost Allocator of the AMR system. In small plants,
one network node suces as a data collector. In
larger plants, or when consumption data shall be
read out from a remote location, an M-bus
interface for connection to a gateway is required.
The NNB-Std network node is battery powered,
the mains powered version is available for special
applications.
meters installed in the building. Communication
between several network nodes is via radio also
so that no wiring is required. All measured values
acquired by the consumption meters are
continuously exchanged within the network,
which means that every network node stores the
current consumption values, the values read out
at the end of the month, and the set day values of
all metering devices on the network. Owing to
this operating principle, all network data can be
read out at any of the nodes, or a INDIV-5 AMR
gateway for remote data transmission can be
used with any of the nodes.
Functions
• Reception and storage of the data transmitted
by the consumption meters
• Automatic creation of a network with up to 12
network nodes (with a maximum of 500
consumption meters)
• Passing on all relevant consumption values to
all network nodes on the network
• Communication via the INDIV-5 AMR gateway
Ordering
Combinations
The network node is a component of the AMR
system. It has been designed for use in buildings
to create a radio network for receiving and
storing the data transmitted by the consumption
Note! Mains powered version is available on request.
All network nodes with integrated gateway can
be used along with any other network node. The
maximum number of 12 network nodes in one
system must not be exceeded.
The network nodes with gateway and integrated
M-Bus master (NNV-IP) are able to read M-Bus
meters according to EN13757-2/3.
The network node consists of the following
subassemblies:
Power supply:
• mains supply network node
• battery NNB-Std
M-Bus
(Slave)
Memory for
500 meters
AMR network
Transciever for
Back-up battery
RS232
(optional)
Receiver and transmitter are used for receiving
consumption data and forwarding them to other
network nodes of the network. The memory
stores the consumption data. It is protected
against temporary power drops (e.g. mains
power failure or replacement of the main battery)
by a backup battery. The network can be read
locally via the M-Bus interface.
NNB-Std node is battery operated, while the
mains powered version requires a mains power
supply 100 - 230 VAC.

Basic design
The network node consists of 2 major sections:
the base and the housing with the electronics. It
is thus possible to mount the base prior to
commissioning, enabling the electrical installer
to connect the mains powered network node to
the mains network.
At the time of commissioning, the electronics
section is snapped on and the electrical connections are made.
Wall-mounted section
The wall-mounted section of the network node
NNB-Std contains only the main battery. The wallmounted section of the mains powered network
node contains the power pack and possibly an
optional RS232 interface.

Calculating the battery’s life expectancy
After installation of the network node, connect
the battery plug to the relevant connector (1).
The display of the network node will show bAtt.
Press the blue DISPLAY button once to start the
life expectancy calculation for the new main
battery.
Caution!
The main battery can be removed from the
network node during operation and the plug can
be connected again. In that case, the DISPLAY
button may not be pressed as a conrmation. The
result would be an erroneous display when
showing the remaining capacity.
Battery replacement
First, remove the discharged main battery and
insert the new one. Press the blue DISPLAY button
once to start the life expectancy calculation for
the new main battery. The backup battery must not be removed simultaneously. A fatal loss of
data would happen.
Depassivation
After storing the main battery for longer periods,
especially at temperatures higher than 30 °C, the
battery might passivate. Under these circumstances
it will not be able to deliver sucient energy to
the network node. If the network node detects a
passivated battery a depassivation cycle is
triggered. This is indicated by a ashing front
LED. The procedure might take a few minutes.
After depassivation the network node will start
up automatically in IdLE mode. Long press of
button MODE activates the installation mode of
network node. Low temperatures at the battery
may cause a similar behaviour in other modes
too.
Safety note on lithium batteries!
The main battery requires careful treatment:
• Do not short-circuit or damage the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat.
• Return exhausted batteries to the supplier.
• Read the enclosed safety instructions
carefully.
For mains powered network nodes, the mains
connections are to be made rst at the selected
mounting positions (typically on every second
oor, mounting height ≥ 2 m), if required.

Mains connection
Connection of the 230 VAC power line to the
power pack is to be made as follows:
A 2-core mains cable (L and N) is already preinstalled at the mounting site. The power pack
must be connected by qualied sta. The cores
must be sheathed with the enclosed insulating
sleeves to ensure compliance with safety class II.
Then, the live (L) and neutral (N) conductors must
be connected to terminal “IN” of the power pack.
Mains voltage must be in the range from 100 to
240 VAC (50/60 Hz). There is no protective earth
(PE) connection.
Then, cable strain relief must be provided by
tting cable ties.
Once the top section is tted, the housing with
the electronics can be snapped on. Then, the
power supply connector can be plugged into the
electronics section and the network node
switched to installation mode by pressing the
MODE button (red) for a few seconds. Then,
additional network nodes or consumption
meters of the AMR system can automatically
congure themselves to form a network.
Ensure that the local regulations for radio
