- Page 16 3. Installation 3.5 Connecting LMC to Chargers Chargers can be connected to the LMC if they are in the same LAN (local area network) or connected via a CAN connection. 3.5.1 Router VOOL App Bluetooth setup Scenario 1: The Charger(s) and the LMC are in the same LAN connected via Ethernet cables.
- Page 17 End resistor Scenario 3: The Charger(s) and the LMC are connected via CAN Using cat 6 cable. System is using only 4th and 5th wire of cat6 cable. Chargers themselves don’t need to be connected to internet and they communicate with our server over can through LMC.
- Page 18 Scenario 5: The Charger(s) and the LMC are connected via CAN and LAN. The LMC is connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable or WiFi and the charger needs to be connected in the same LAN. The last Charger on the CAN line should be equipped with an end resistor to provide reliable communication between the devices.
- Page 19 Scan the QR-code or enter the serial number + PIN code which are located on the packaging and on the LMC case. Be sure to connect the devices to the network and add them to the same network as the chargers. Then select which chargers are connected to the LMC from the charger settings.
- Page 20 1. Ethernet: Connect an Ethernet cable with Internet connectivity to the Ethernet port on the LMC. (front port) 2. Wifi: After powering up, wait for up to 2 minutes until the LMC creates a Wifi hotspot named ‘LMC ID123456789’ (named after the LMC serial number).
- Page 21 3. Installation Autoconfigure If chargers and LMC are connected as shown in the above add all the devices to your site by scanning the QR-s. Then connect all the devices to internet if needed. For CAN connection check if all the cable connections are done in the correct way.
- Page 22 Set the size of the building’s main fuse and, if necessary, other settings. • During the installation of the LMC, you must match the current setting with the main fuses’ size and capacity to ensure proper calibration of the DLM system and avoid potential damage.
- Page 23 If device is connected online it will appear in the list of devices. Make sure to connect the device(s) online and add them to the same site in the VOOL Portal. Then, select which chargers are connected to LMC on the site setup.
- Page 24 Once you have set up the LMC, you are ready to add chargers or link your LMC with existing chargers on the site. 3.10 Install with Previously Installed Current Transformers or Multimeter If a power meter that supports Modbus protocol is available on-site, and is connected to the same network as LMC, it is possible to use metering data for load management.
