3.1 Introduction
The "Meters" may communicate with "Other" system components, for example mobile readout devices,
stationary receivers, data collectors or system network components. For the meter side, it is assumed that the
communication function will work without any operator’s intervention or need for battery replacement over the
full lifetime of the radio part of the meter. Other components such as the mobile readout or stationary
equipment may have a shorter battery lifetime or require an external power supply as dictated by the technical
parameters and use.

SIST EN 13757-4:2005
EN 13757-4:2005 (E)
Three different modes of operation are defined for the communication with the meter. Many of the physical
and link layer parameters of these different modes of this document are identical, allowing the use of common
hardware and software. However, due to the operational and technical requirements of these modes some
parameters will differ.
a) "Stationary mode", mode S is intended for unidirectional or bi-directional communications between
stationary or mobile devices. A special transmit only sub-mode S1 could be optimised for stationary
battery operated devices with a long header and the sub-mode S1-m is specialised for mobile receivers.
b) "Frequent transmit mode", mode T. In this mode, the meter transmits a very short frame
(typically 2 ms to 5 ms) every few seconds thus allowing walk-by and/or drive-by readout.
Transmit only sub-mode T1. It is the minimal transmission of a meter ID plus a readout value, which is sent
periodically or stochastically.
The bi-directional sub-mode T2 transmits frequently a short frame containing at least its ID and then waits for
a very short period after each transmission for the reception of an acknowledge. Reception of an acknowledge
will open a bi-directional communication channel.
c) "Frequent receive mode", mode R2. In this mode, the meter listens every few seconds for the reception of
a wakeup message from a mobile transceiver. After receiving such a wakeup, the device will prepare for
a few seconds of communication dialog with the initiating transceiver. In this mode a “multi-channel
receive mode” allows the simultaneous readout of several meters, each one operating on a different
frequency channel.
Meters or other communication devices may support one, multiple or all of the described modes.
3.2 Meter communications types
The following Table describes the key features of each mode and sub-mode.

3.3 Performance classes
The transmitters shall belong to one of three class levels ranging from low and medium to high radiated
power.
The maximum allowable radiated power for the transmitter is defined by CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 E or as
permitted by local radio regulation.
When existing, the receiver shall belong to one of three classes in sensitivity and blocking performance, from
low and medium to high.
The performance class of the transmitter and the receiver may be different.

Description of performances – the class of receivers and transmitters defines power, sensitivity and
selectivity.
The transmission power shall be measured as the effective radiated power (ERP) according to 8.3 of
ETSI EN 300 220-1, V1.3.1:2000.
The maximum usable sensitivity shall be measured in conducted mode according to 4.1 of
ETSI EN 300 220-2, V1.3.1:2000. In addition, the manufacturer shall state the antenna gain, which can be
measured according to ANSI C63.5.

important parameter is the radiated sensitivity, that could be estimated by combining the conducted sensitivity and the antenna gain.
b If the conducted mode is not possible, the sensitivity shall be measured by sending a signal with a known field strength to the
receiver, according to 4.2 of EN 300 220-2, V1.3.1:2000. The radiated sensitivity could then be measured via the block acceptance rate.

4.4 Mode S: Data encoding
4.4.1 Mode S: Manchester encoding
Manchester encoding shall be used for this mode to allow simple encoding/decoding and occupy a narrower
base-band. Each bit shall be encoded as either a "10" chip sequence representing a "zero" or as a "01"
representing a "one". The lower frequency shall correspond to a chip value of "0".
4.4.2 Mode S: Order of transmission of the encoded data
Each data byte shall be transmitted with the most significant bit first.
The byte sequence of the CRC shall be transferred with the high byte first. The byte sequence of the
manufacturer field shall be transferred with the low byte first. The byte sequence of other multi-byte fields is
not defined in this document. Such multi-byte fields should be transferred with the low byte first.
4.4.3 Mode S: Preamble chip sequences
The total preamble (header + synchronisation) chip sequence for this mode shall be n×(01) 0001110110
10010110:
with n ≥ 279 for the sub-mode S1 (long header)
with n ≥ 15 for the sub-mode S2 (short header)
with n ≥ 279 for the sub-mode S2 optional long header
All chips of each frame, including pre- and postamble, shall form an uninterrupted sequence.
NOTE 1 In Manchester coding, the chip sequence 000111 is invalid but it is used near the end of the header to allow a
receiver to detect the start of a new or a stronger transmission. This applies even during reception of a weaker
transmission. The capture effect allows efficient communication even in a channel where many weak transmitters from a
large area might otherwise effectively block the reception of a nearer (stronger) transmitter. In addition it allows pulsed

receivers to distinguish safely between the start of a valid frame and the detection of an accidental “sync” sequence within
an ongoing transmission.
NOTE 2 The data encoding is the same as used in mode R2 and mode T2.

4.5.3.2 Mode S: L: Length field
The first byte of the first block is the length field. The field specifies the number of subsequent user data bytes
including the control and address bytes and excluding the CRC bytes. If ((L-9) MOD 16) isn't zero, then the
last block shall contain ((L-9) MOD 16) data bytes + 2 CRC bytes. All the other blocks except the first block
shall always contain 16 data bytes + 2 CRC bytes.
4.5.3.3 Mode S: C: Control field
The second byte of the first block is the C-field. It specifies the frame type. According to EN 60870-5-2 the
following C-field codes shall be used:
 for the transmit only sub-mode S1 the C-field value C = 44 (SEND/NO REPLY) shall be used;
h
 if the meter is in the installation mode then:
 for bi-directional mode S2, the C-field value C = 06 shall be used to signal this mode;
h
 for unidirectional mode S1, the C-field value C = 46 shall be used to signal this mode.
h
 For the sub-mode S2 all C-field values of EN 60870-5-2 may be used.
4.5.3.4 Mode S: M: Manufacturer ID
The third and the fourth byte of the first block shall contain a unique User/Manufacturer ID of the meter. The
15 least significant bits of these two bytes shall be formed from a three letter ISO 646 code (A…Z) as
specified in EN 13757-3:2004, 5.5. See Annex B for administration of these three letter codes.
If the most significant bit of this two bytes User/Manufacturer ID is equal to zero, then the address A shall be a
unique (hard coded) manufacturer meter address of 6 bytes. Each manufacturer is responsible for the
worldwide uniqueness of these 6 bytes. Any type of coding or numbering, including type/version/date may be
used as long as the ID is unique.
If the most significant bit of this two-byte User/Manufacturer ID is different from zero, then the
6-byte address shall be unique at least within the maximum transmission range of the system (soft address).
This address is usually assigned to the device at installation time. As long as these unique address
requirements are fulfilled, the remaining bytes may be used for user specific purposes.
4.5.3.5 Mode S: A: Address
This address A shall be unique (at least within the maximum transmission range). Each User/Manufacturer
shall guarantee that this ID is unique. If this protocol is used together with the Application Layer of EN 13757-
