The Elvaco CMeX 50 is a high-performance wireless M-Bus receiver and wireless-to-wired converter, built to simplify remote meter reading and system expansion across both new and legacy metering infrastructures.
Whether you're building a smart energy monitoring system from scratch or upgrading an existing M -Bus network, the CMeX 50 offers seamless wireless integration, backward compatibility, and scalability — all in one compact unit.
Receive Data from Up to 800 Wireless Meters
The CMeX 50 is capable of handling data from up to 800 wireless M -Bus meters or sensors, using secure, encrypted communication channels for reliable and interference-resistant performance. It supports standardized wireless M -Bus communication protocols, ensuring compatibility across a broad range of devices.
Operating fully wirelessly, the CMeX 50 eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming cable installations, making it a perfect choice for fast deployment in:
- Multi-storey buildings
- Existing infrastructure where rewiring is not feasible
- Sites requiring temporary or flexible setups
Universal Connectivity with Elvaco and Third-Party Systems
One of the CMeX 50’s major strengths is its universal interoperability:
- It connects directly to Elvaco CMe and CMeX series devices using a wireless IR (infrared) interface, enabling easy, plug-and-play integration
- It also includes an M -Bus slave port, making it compatible with any third-party M -Bus-compliant master or gateway
This makes the CMeX 50 a powerful bridge between wireless and wired infrastructure, helping organizations modernize existing systems without the need to replace legacy components.
Designed for Easy Use and Rapid Installation
The CMeX 50 has been engineered with practicality and ease of use in mind. Its key features include:
- A durable polyamide enclosure, built to withstand physical and environmental stress
- A compact, lightweight design that supports installation in confined or unconventional spaces
- An LCD screen with clear graphical elements and illuminated control buttons for easy, on-site configuration
The device also includes advanced filtering tools, allowing users to select specific meters or sensor types for data collection. This reduces setup time and enhances deployment efficiency.
Step-by-Step Network Expansion — Without Cables
The CMeX 50 supports modular, wireless expansion via IR communication with other Elvaco devices. This cable-free approach offers significant advantages:
- Scalable infrastructure, growing with your building or project
