Introduction
System Requirements
Installation
The SonoReCon is a radio receiver for wireless M-Bus resource meters, which is equipped with a GPRS / UMTS modem and a data concentrator. A lithium battery pack assures operating times up to several years without an external power supply. The SonoReCon is used in places where data from radio consumption meters (electricity, gas, water and heat) must be collected, stored and transmitted to a central station, but where there is no power supply available.
Before installing the SonoReCon software, please check if your PC complies with the minimum requirements:
• Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 operating system (updated to the latest version)
• 1 GHz processor
• 4 GB memory
• 20 MB free hard disk space
• 1 free USB port
• Internet connection (only once to install the USB driver)
Installation of the SonoReCon Software
Execute the installation file SonoReCon_Setup. exe on your PC.
If there is already a former version of the software installed, the user has to remove this version prior to installing the current version. If the version number of the already installed version is inferior to the version to be installed the removing is done automatically. Otherwise, the user has to do it manually.
Installation of the SonoReCon USB Hardware Driver
The SonoReCon uses an USB standard driver, which is already installed on most Windows PC. If this is not the case the automatic driver search mechanism of Windows is downloading the current USB driver. However, an internet connection is necessary in this case.
Due to the water tight enclosure with protection rating IP67 or IP65 (depending on options) and the operating temperature range of
-20°C to +55°C the SonoReCon can be used in non-weather protected outdoor installations (temperate climate).
Starting up the SonoReCon Software
The SonoReCon software is started up by double-clicking on the program icon on your desktop or the respective tile:
Having installed the software for the first time, the following dialog for selecting the program language appears (English, French or German).
Note: You may change the language afterwards at the settings dialog.

Main Window
General settings
By clicking on this button, the dialog shown below opens.
The program language can be selected by clicking on one of the flags.
The user may also choose if numbers are to be displayed with decimal comma or decimal point.
If the software should also be able to decipher and interpret radio telegrams the user has to provide the respective keys. A maximum of three different 64 bit keys (left hand side) and six different 128 bit keys (AES 128, e.g. for OMS, right hand side) may be entered, respectively.
Additionally, it is possible to enter a list of meter specific radio keys. For that purpose, the user has to enter meter address and radio key of one specific meter. If the meter with the respective address is received the stored radio key is used for deciphering. This function is only available with AES128 radio keys.
If the user decides to encipher the uploaded files also, he can enter the FTP file deciphering key here.
The software will try all three / six keys until a radio telegram is deciphered. To gain processing speed during radio telegram reception you should set unused key entry fields to “FFFF….”. To show the keys in clear text click on the button.
Add a new meter address with radio key.
Remove the selected meter addresses and radio keys from the list.

Device State
After connecting a device, the above shown information are updated once per second:
Time
The current device time and date. Please note that the SonoReCon has not got a long-term buffer for the internal clock. That is if there is no supply for the device either by the main battery pack, the wall plug power supply or by USB, the internal clock will continue running for about 3…5 hours and then stop and drop back to 2000-01-01 00:00:00. So during onsite installation the internal device clock must be set to the current time. Usually, this is done automatically by this software at connection time. There is also the option to automatically set the clock against an internet time server at every FTP upload. In this case it should be noted that the automatic clock set option against an internet time server is always setting the clock to standard time (not daylight saving time). If the PC is set to daylight saving time there might be a difference between PC time and device time.
Temperature
The internal device temperature.
Housing
If the housing is opened or closed.
Device
The device’s complete serial number in hexadecimal format.
Battery
The battery pack’s serial number in hexadecimal format (if a battery pack is connected).
Battery
The remaining battery capacity in percent (if a battery pack is connected).
Report
A report about the currently ongoing process in the device:
• ----- device is currently in idle state
• RADIO device is currently reading radio devices
• FTP device is currently performing an FTP upload
Device meter list The SonoReCon device may be configured for
reading radio meters in two ways. Either it is opening the radio receiver for a given amount of time and all radio meters captured are registered or the user may configure a meter list. In later case only the radio meters on the list are captured and registered. This feature has got the advantages of not spoiling the available
The device meter list may contain up to 1000 meters, however, it is advised to use this feature only to an amount of 100 to 200 meters since the radio address comparison process may consume too much time thus leading to missed radio telegrams.
Add one or multiple meters from the list of received meters (see nex t chapter) to the meter list.
Remove one or multiple meters from the device meter list (use multiple selection option with SHIFT or CTRL keys).
data storage space for unwanted radio meter telegrams and also closing the radio receiver as soon as all meters from the list are received, thus saving on battery capacity.
To configure a meter list the user has to start a radio reception and select the radio meters to add from the received meters (see next chapter).
If more than 100 to 200 meters must be received it is better to not use the meter list but to capture and register all radio telegrams received.
Regarding the meter list the user has got the following options:
Modify one or multiple device list entries (use multiple selection option with SHIFT or CTRL keys). After having clicked on this button the following dialog appears for each selected entry of the list. To close the process prematurely the user may click on “Cancel” instead of “OK” for the next device.

Device meter list (continuous)
Received meter list
The user may now select the reading profile for the given radio meter and enter a description for the meter. The read-out process may be configured for 3 different profiles (containing the radio reading interval and the duration of radio reception for each reading). Thus it is possible to read-out important meters more often than less important meters. The “Setting #” associates the selected radio meters to one of the three radio reading profiles. The radio reading profiles are configured at the radio reading parameter dialogue (see below).
Read the current meter list from the device. The meter list of the device is not automatically read during e.g. the connection process. Therefore, the user must load the list manually before proceeding with any modifications.
By clicking on “OK” the changes are taken and the dialogue switches to the next meter (if more than one meter had been selected). Clicking on “Cancel” cancels the modifications on the current meter and closes the dialogue. Please note that modifications previously confirmed with “OK” are still taken. Please note also that by editing the device list only the displayed copy of the list is modified. It is not automatically written to the device (see below).
Read the current meter list from the device. The meter list of the device is not automatically read during e.g. the connection process. Therefore, the user must load the list manually before proceeding with any modifications.
To test the radio reception of the device at a specific spot or to receive the radio meters to build a radio meter list the user may start a radio reading. The radio reading may either be started for an unlimited amount of time (just up to the moment where the stop button is pressed) or the time span may be limited by selecting an entry from the list on the left hand-side of the button. Having started the radio reading all received meters are displayed continuously on the list (one entr y per meter). Please note that the radio receiver is switched off if there is an FTP upload in progress (check the respective repor t entry at the top of the windows).
Stop radio reception. Only if the radio reception is stopped the user may e.g. build its meter list or configure the device. If the radio reception is in progress other functions are blocked.

Meters
The total number of different radio meters received.
Telgr. mode T
The total number of correct wireless M-Bus mode T telegrams received.
Telg. mode C
The total number of correct wireless M-Bus mode C telegrams received.
Bit errors
The total number of telegrams with bit errors received.
CRC errors
The total number of telegrams with CRC errors received.
The list of received meters is used to build up the device meter list. By selecting one or more entries (multiple select by SHIFT and ALT keys) and clicking the button the selected meters are added to the list. This is only possible if the reading process has been stopped.
At the right hand side end of the list with the received meters you can find the telegram in hexadecimal format.
To figure out where to place the device best for an optimum GSM / UMTS network connection it is possible to start the GMS / UMTS network monitor. After clicking on the button above it takes about 30 to 60 seconds before the device internal modem is started up. Then, if there is a GSM / UMTS network connection, the network parameters are shown with an update frequency of once per second. If the GSM / UMTS network cell was identified it is also possible to locate it by clicking on (only available if an internet connection is active and if the network cell can be found in the database).
The most important parameter for good data transmission is the signal strength. This value should be above 35 % (shown in green). If the signal strength is below 35 % data upload may still be possible but the probability of incomplete files increases.
Please note that a SIM card must be inserted into the device and the SIM PIN must be correctly configured (see below at device configuration / FTP settings). If there is an incorrect SIM PIN configured the SIM card will be accessed more than three times with this incorrect SIM PIN and, therefore, it will be blocked. In this case you have to put the SIM card e.g. in an appropriate portable phone and use the SIM PUK to unblock the SIM card.
By clicking on “Exit” the GMS / UMTS network monitor is closed. It takes about 10 seconds after closing this windows to shut down the device internal modem. During this time it is not possible to start e.g. an FTP test upload.

Device configuration
General device settings
There are four different device configuration buttons invoking four different configuration
Device name
The device name must be programmed to a unique name by the user. This name is used as name for the uploaded files. Click on “Save” to write the modifications to the device.
Device text
The device text is free text for e.g. a description of the installation site. Click on “Save” to write the modifications to the device.
Password
If the password stays on the default settings of “SonoReCon” or if the password is blank the configuration of the device is not password protected. If the password is set differently the user has to enter a password before being able to access the device configuration. Click on “Save” to write the modifications to the device. Please note that the password protection starts only after the device has once been disconnected from the USB interface. You must then wait up to the point where the software recognizes the disconnection (the serial number of the device is no longer shown at the headline) before reconnecting the USB interface.
Set the device clock according to the clock of the Windows PC. The user may set a deviation by selecting the appropriate value from the list on the left hand-side of the button. It is also possible to set the device clock automatically using an internet clock at FTP upload time (see below). However, then the time zone is set automatically to the time zone of the Windows PC and the deviation eventually entered here is not used.
dialogues: general settings, FTP settings, radio reading settings, radio telegram filter settings.
Manage profiles
Profiles are complete configurations of a device. With this feature it is possible to configure a device once and copy this configuration to multiple other devices without having to configure all parameters one by one.
Shows the complete configuration (profile) of the device in an overview list.
Read the complete configuration (profile) of a device from a file and write it to the connected device.
Write the complete configuration (profile) of the connected device to a file.
Generate FTP upload time
If this option is checked then the configured FTP upload time (using the profile write to device button ) is not the time stored in the profile but the time is automatically generated using the serial number of the device. This guarantees a certain equal distribution of FTP upload times over the day if you are using many devices. If all devices are uploading at one specific time per day your FTP server may be overloaded and denying upload requests. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use this option.
FLASH memory
The FLASH memory of the device contains the data logger memory as well as e.g. the meter list. To reset a device it may be completely erased. It is also possible to perform a memory dump for debug purposes.

Device radio reading and FTP upload settings
(continuous)
This dialog configures the radio reading intervals and durations and the FTP upload times.
For the radio reading 3 different profiles may be configured. However, these profiles are only used if the reading by device list is selected (option “Use device list” selected). If the device list reading is not used only the profile 1 configurations are used.
Since the device may be powered by its internal lithium battery pack or by a wall plug power supply there are different settings for battery (BAT) or power supply (PWR) for each profile, respectively. Therefore, there are a total of six settings configurable:
BAT 1: profile 1, battery supply PWR 1: profile 1, power supply
BAT 2: profile 2, battery supply PWR 2: profile 2, power supply
BAT 3: profile 3, battery supply PWR 3: profile 3, power supply
Examples:
The same is valid for the FTP upload times. Either the user chooses to use the same FTP upload times for battery and power supply (option “As with batteries” is selected) or he may configure different settings for battery and power supply.
For each of the six radio reading settings the following options are available:
Interval
Sets the interval between two consecutive radio readings.
Span
Sets the duration of the radio reception per radio reading. If the option “Use device list” is selected the radio receiver is shut down as soon as all meters from the list have been received. In this case, therefore, the span gives the maximum radio reception duration.
High def.
By selecting this option it is possible to define a period during the day where a different radio reading interval is used.
The device receives the radio meters once per hour and the receiver stays open for 75 seconds.
This setting is used for battery and power supply.
With battery supply: The device receives the radio meters once per hour and the receiver stays open for 75 seconds.
With power supply: The device receives the radio meters every 15 minutes and the receiver stays open for 3 minutes.
The device receives the radio meters once per hour and the receiver stays open for 75 seconds. Between 07:00 and 08:59 every day the device receives the radio meters every 15 minutes.
The setting is used for battery and power supply.
With battery supply: The device receives the radio meters once per hour and the receiver stays open for 75 seconds. Between 07:00 and 08:59 every day the device receives the radio meters every 15 minutes.

Device radio reading and FTP upload settings
(continuous)
Examples:
The logged radio meter data are uploaded at the 2., 12. and 22. of each month at 04:13.
The setting is used for battery and power supply.
With battery supply: The logged radio meter data are uploaded at the 2., 12. and 22. of each month at 04:13.
With power supply: The logged radio meter data are uploaded every day four times a day starting at 07:15 (then at 13:15, 19:15 and 01:15).
It is possible to define multiple uploads per day. The upload are then performed in equidistant time intervals always starting at the given time, e.g.:
2 / day two uploads with an interval of 12 hours in between 8 / day eight uploads with an interval of 3 hours in between
Notes:
For the 30th and the 31st day selected the following rules apply:
If in a month with only 30 days instead of the 30th and the 31st the 29th and the 30th days are used for FTP upload
If in a month with only 28 days instead of the 30th and the 31st the 27th and the 28th days are used for FTP upload
If in a month with only 29 days instead of the 30th and the 31st the 28th and the 29th days are used for FTP upload
Option: “compact frame”
For radio meters sending so called “full frames” and “compact frames” alternately this option should be checked. Usually these radio meters are sending one full radio frame with all information necessary to decode the meter values and afterwards seven compact radio frames which are only containing the values but not e.g. the physical unit etc. These compact frames cannot be interpreted by this software. Since the device is normally only recording the first radio telegram received, this may be a full frame or a compact frame.
Note:
At the FTP with batteries options it is also possible to set the number of daily uploads to 288, which is once every 5 minutes. This option may be used for testing. However, it is advised to use the following settings if 288 FTP uploads per day are selected:
• The FTP upload time setting is ignored for 288 FTP uploads per day. The FTP upload starts always at 2 minutes after the full 5 minutes, e.g. 00:02, 00:07, 00:12, 00:17, 00:22, and so on.
• The radio reception must be set to
- Interval = 5 minutes
- Span = 105 seconds
Since compact frames are not interpretable it is necessary to get the full frame sent only every eight time. If this option is checked, the device is not recording one radio telegram of a meter sending full / compact frames alternately but eight radio telegrams in a row. Therefore, at least one full frame should be recorded.
Use device list
If this option is checked the device is only recording radio telegrams of the radio meters in the device list. All other radio telegrams are ignored. If this option is not checked all radio meters received are recorded.

Estimated battery life time
Device radio meter filter settings
At the bottom of this dialog there is an entry field showing the estimated battery life time for the given radio reading / FTP upload configuration for reading 10 meters or 100 meters, respectively.
It should be noted that these values are only estimated values calculated for standard FTP upload times. Especially, if the GSM /
UMTS network signal strength is low or the GSM / UMTS network is overloaded the FTP upload times may increase significantly and, therefore, lowering the battery life time significantly.
For the estimated life times a full battery pack is assumed.
Remote device configuration
If radio meter logging is used without a device list (option „Use device list“ is not selected) the user may limit the reception of unwanted radio meters by using filters. It is possible to configure two types of filter: filtering of the manufacturer code of the radio telegrams or filtering of the device type field of the radio telegrams.
A maximum of 12 filter values may be entered for each filter type, respectively.
Additionally, it is possible to define if the filter values are used to include or exclude the radio telegrams.
It is also possible to remotely configure devices. For this purpose a special configuration file is uploaded to the FTP server where the device places its data logger files.
No filter
Do not use the respective filter
Authorized
Register only radio telegrams corresponding to the given filter values, do not save any other radio telegrams.
Blocked
Register all radio telegrams except those corresponding to the filter values.

Installation Test Mode Switch to installation test mode
Preparations:
Before you are able to use the installation test mode, it is necessary to prepare a list of radiometer addresses (e.g. using Excel) of all meters installed at the site of test.
The first column must contain the radiometer addresses of the meters that are installed at the site of test. The second column may contain a description of the respective meter. If you going to write this list as meter list into an SonoReCon these descriptions are also written to the SonoReCon. Nevertheless, the second column is optional. Columns 3 to 10 may be used to store additional meter information. However, these columns are only shown in the software but not used in any way.
It is possible to use other software than Excel for preparing this list. The only condition is that the columns are separated by tabulators (TAB) and the lines are separated by carriage return + line feed (CR+LF).
If you have finished preparing the list, you must copy it to the Windows clipboard (e.g. using CTR+C). Copy only radiometer addresses and descriptions to the clipboard; do not include headline, footer, empty spaces etc.
Afterwards you must click this button to create a new installation test project:

Enter a unique name of the project, e.g. the building name or building address. You may only use characters which can be used for file names, all invalid characters are cut out.
The radio reading duration should be the same that you want to use for the real radiometer reading to get correct results.
Do only click on OK if there is already a device list copied to the clipboard. Otherwise, you have got an installation test project with an empty device list.
After these preparations you may put the SonoReCon you want to install at different possible installation places (32 places max.). At every place you start the radio reading and the software is checking the received radiometers against the radiometers of your prepared list. The software is counting the number of radiometers
received and at the end it is calculating the best installation place or places, if you have to use more than one SonoReCon to capture the complete installation.
If the SonoReCon is at the first test installation place click on the start button :

Using this button, you can write the radiometer list of the installation test project directly to an SonoReCon device.
Note:
Only radiometers, which have been received at least once during the installation test, are written to the SonoReCon.
you can see at which place the reception was best and, if you have to use more than one SonoReCon, which combination of installation places is the best.
To get an automatic calculation of the best installation places click on this button .
In the example you should install two SonoReCon at “ET2 right” and “ET4”, respectively, to capture all radiometers. This is the minimum combination with no missing meters.

Switch to radio checklist mode
The radio checklist mode lets you load a list with radiometers which are e.g. installed in a building. With this mode, you can check how many meters of this list are receivable by starting the radio reception. In contrary to the general reception mode only the meters in the list are received and displayed.
Preparations:
Before you are able to use the radio checklist mode, it is necessary to prepare a list of radiometer addresses (e.g. using Excel) of all meters you want to check.
You may use any other software than Excel for preparing this list. The only condition is that the columns are separated by tabulators (TAB) and the lines are separated by carriage return + line feed (CRL+F).
If you have finished preparing the list, you must copy it to the Windows clipboard (e.g. using CTR+C). Depending on your preference, you may copy headlines or not, however, you should not copy empty lines or lines not containing a radiometer address in the first column.
The first column must contain the radiometer addresses of the meters to check. It is possible to add up to nine more columns with additional descriptions or other meter information.
Click on to import the radiometer list. Select whether or not the copied list contains column headlines.

Examples: C:\program files\Danfoss AS\ SonoReCon\SonoReCon.exe
Will start the dialog based config uration tool
C:\program files\Danfoss AS\ SonoReCon\SonoReCon.exe c:\ temp\GP2files\
Will search the directory “c:\temp\ GP2files\” for GP2 files, loads them, interprets them and conver ts them to CSV files to the same directory. Afterwards the soft ware terminates.
If you want to use your own software for importing radio telegrams from uploaded GP2 files you may use this software also.
If you invoke the software using the icon on the desktop without any command line option then it opens to the dialog based configuration tool which was already explained in detail.
However, if you invoke the software using a directory name as command line option then the software is not starting the dialog but is searching the directory contents for GP2 files and converts these GP2 files to CSV files.
For deciphering radio telegrams the respective radio keys must have been configured using the dialog mode of this software.
Format of the converted CSV files
An example of the format of the resulting CSV files is given below. Please remember that you have to configure the radio deciphering key(s) correctly before ciphered radio telegrams are displayed. To do so you have to start the software in dialog mode (without command line option) and use the general settings to configure the radio keys.
