6.1.2.1 Parameterization
i
For parameterization of the EK280 you will require a connection cable for the optical interface as
well as the enSuite application, which can be downloaded for free at www.elster.com.
a) Connecting the time window
For the parameterization to work correctly, time windows 1 to 4 must be connected. To do this:
Connect a PC or laptop with enSuite installed to the EK280 optical interface using the connection
cable.
Start enSuite and set up the communication link to the EK280. (see chapter 3.1
communication link to the EK280 via optical interface
Select "Navigation" on the left-hand side and then
navigation window.
In the top of the device window open the path "Parameter" > "Interfaces" by clicking on the relevant
plus signs, and then select
In call windows 1 to 4 set start and end to the same value for each one and then select the
changes to device" icon at the top of the enSuite window.
Then wait a minute, for any communications activity in progress on the EK280 to be safely stopped.
b) Send parameter file
Send the "EK280_2v1.. - int. ECM-GW-120 - WipSoft
(see chapter 3.6
For the following customized settings and tests required, press "Navigation" on the left-hand side and
then "Parameterize
i
All the values listed in enSuite under "Parameter" can be found on the "Serv." display tab of the
EK280 under the same path.
c) Setting time window for potential data queries
In the base configuration now displayed you can define cyclic time windows, during which data can be
retrieved from the EK280 via the modem. There are two available time windows, which operate on EK280
battery power only and for versions of the EK280 with power supply there are two more, which operate only
on mains voltage.
Make the battery power time windows only as long and frequent as absolutely necessary. Each
time window reduces the EK280's battery life.
i
The editable time windows are not directly accounted for in calculation of expected battery life of
the "Bat.R" EK280 batteries. Therefore the expected battery life is not updated, when the time
windows are changed. Past time windows and data transfers are however used in remaining
battery and service life calculation for the "BatRC" .
The two battery-power time windows are set in the enSuite device window under:
- Parameter > Interfaces > Connections > Connection 1
- Parameter > Interfaces > Connections > Connection 2
The two mains voltage time windows are set under:
- Parameter > Interfaces > Connections > Connection 3
- Parameter > Interfaces > Connections > Connection 4
If you do not need a time window, you can deactivate it by setting the time window start and end to the same
value.
