SPLASH Monitoring Pairing of SPL Power data loggers with Edimax
Homeplugs
This document details how to pair Edimax Homeplugs with the SPLASH Monitoring
SPL Power Loggers.
The SPL Data Loggers have an internal data over power line gateway inside them
that transmits the data over the phase connected to L1 on the SPL Power Logger.
When an Edimax Homeplug is connected to the same phase as that connected to L1
on the SPL Power Logger, the SPL Power Logger will transmit data to the Edimax
Homeplug over the power cable. The Edimax Homeplug then connects to the onsite
router or LAN using a CAT5 connection.
A conflict can occur if multiple Edimax Homeplugs are installed on the same phase.
To prevent this conflict occurring the SPL Power Logger and Edimax Homeplug must
be "paired" to each other. This document covers the pairing and configuration of
these devices.
To prevent the conflict between the Homeplugs, each of the SPL Power Loggers
needs to be "paired" with their own Homeplug as follows
To pair the SPL Data Loggers with their Edimax Homeplug follow these instructions
1. Turn off all of the SPL Power Loggers and their Edimax Homeplugs
For each SPL Power Logger and Edimax Homeplug
2. Make sure SPL Power Logger 1 and EDIMAX Homeplug 1 have power, are
on and are connected to the LAN.
3. Activate the SPL Power logger 1 to "Leave mode" by pressing and holding the
reset button (this is a small hole under the padlock symbol adjacent to the
Ethernet connection, push in to the hole an unpainted paper clip) for 14
seconds until the LED on the front of the Logger flashes blue and red rapidly.
Release as soon as the LED starts flashing blue/red, otherwise if you hold it
for any longer it will enter another mode.
4. Activate the EDIMAX Homeplug 1 to "Leave mode" by pressing and holding
the group/reset button for 6 seconds. The Ethernet (top) and Power (bottom)
LEDs will both flash green once at the same time.
