Step 1: Connect datalogger with the modem
The datalogger blinks continuously green and / or red 4 times in a row. First 2 times short
and then 2 times a bit longer. Every signal has a different meaning.
Signal 1: (short, green): datalogger is synchronized with 1 or more senders
Signal 2: (short, green): datalogger receives data from sender
Signal 3: (long, green): is correctly connected with the modem
Signal 4: (long, green): connected to the internet.
1. Connect white ethernet-cable with the datalogger
and a free LAN-portal of the modem. This a port
which says LAN, or 1, 2, 3, 4 and not "WAN", "TV",
or "video".
2. Connect the datalogger to the adapter and plug in
the outlet.
3. De datalogger starts blinking. It can take up to
30 sec. before it's connected to the internet. The
datalogger is correctly installed when the 3 th and 4th signal are green.
4. Do you see a red signal with the 3th or 4th signal, try a different portal.
Step 2: Determine your type of electricity meter
Electricity meters come in two types:
Electromechanical
meter
with a rotating metal
dial.
Read your C-value. This the rotation speed (of an electromechanical meter) or blink
frequency (of a pulse meter).
An electromechanical meter:
1. Look for one of these terms on your meter:
omw/kWh
2. In the last case (a=) you calculate the C-value by multiply the number by 60 (for
example. a=10 >> C-value = 10 x 60 = 600).
A digital pulse meter:
1. Look for one of these terms on your meter:
imp/kWh
2. In the last case (Wh/imp) ou calculate the C-value by dividing 1000 by the number
next to Wh/imp (for example. Wh/imp=0,5 >> C-value = 1000 / 0,5 = 2000).
3. Don't take the number that's next to imp/kVarh, SO, Ra or R53.
Step 3: Installing the sender
1. Open the battery cover on the back.
2. Slide the switch to the correct position, pulse or turning wheel.
Do you have an electromechanical
meter? Move the switch to the left.
3. Place the batteries: check correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Attach the hook next to the electricity meter.
5. Attach the sender on the hook.
6. Insert the measuring sensor's cable into the sender.
