02 / CONNECTION

## Match the interface. Then connect the equipment.

Match physical interfaces and application protocols separately.

01 

### Infrared window

Align with the compatible instrument’s infrared window and verify its protocol.

02 

### Power and antenna

XH2.0 power and SMA antenna connectors; assemble according to the manual.

For terminal positions, wire assignments and installation, follow the [official wiring instructions](https://www.think-link.net/docs/zh/Device/LoRaWANEBCollector/mc11)  .

03 / CONFIGURATION

## Choose a configuration that fits your site.

01 Infrared communication is not camera-based meter reading. It cannot read dial-only instruments without a compatible communication interface.

02 The instrument protocol needs a matching EdgeBus program.
