6 6 ENGLISH The software needs to be configured before the Energy Reader can be mounted onto the power meter. Click on the pictures to see the pictures with more information, as described in the next chapters Examine the power meter It is necessary to know what meter type the Energy Reader needs to be mounted on: Mechanical Meters are read by a rotational dial on the front. Electric Meters are read by a flashing LED on the front Note the factor for the meter Mechanical Meters: The rotational factor on the mechanical meter is the number of rotations the dial will perform per 1 kwh (kilo Watt hour). The rotational factor varies from manufacturer and model, but is always written on the meter itself. Electric Meters: The pulse factor on the electric meter is the number of flashed the LED will perform per 1 kwh. The impulse (pulse) factor varies from manufacturer and model. Notes: If the meter has several impulse factors, it is recommended to choose the LED with the highest factor. Some meters use a flashing and/or infrared LED. The Energy Reader works on both types of LED s. A few electric meters do not indicate the impulse factor. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the meter to learn the correct factor. If S0 = xx imp/kwh is written on the meter, this value should not be noted or used Latest annual or interim statement Optionally find the latest annual or interim statement from your utility company. In order to utilize all the functions in the Energy Reader software it is recommended to use this statement. Click Next to continue to the next step, explained in the next chapter.

A standard that distinguishes itself by low power consumption, making Z-Wave ideal for home automation technologies. The Z-Wave standard allows products from different vendors and categories to work in conjunction as part of the same Z-Wave network, furthermore enabling the units to work as repeaters, hereby ensuring communication and extending the network range, despite vendor origin. This chapter describes the different options and functions regarding the wireless transmitter and the USB receiver when used as part of another Z-Wave network. It is also possible to find a complete list of functions for the wireless transmitter when used as part of the Energy Reader-setup (In conjunction with the Z-wave USB receiver). Note! It is highly recommendable not to attempt to change any of the Z-Wave settings, unless having prior experiences with setting up Z-Wave devices. Additional information regarding the Z-Wave standard can be found by visiting: / Z-wave HTML Interface After having installed Energy Reader on the computer it is possible to access the Z- Wave HTML interface regarding the included USB Z-wave stick (Z-Wave Master unit). 1. Start the Energy Reader software. 2. Open the Advanced Settings menu (using the wrench icon). 3. Go to Advanced. 4. Click Z-wave Control. You will now see the following window.

During normal usage of the Energy Reader the wireless transmitter transfers consumption data to the (USB) receiver every 15 minutes. This is done to maximize battery life span.

25 25 ENGLISH However, to monitor the power consumption measured in real-time having consumption data transferred every 5 sec. Energy Reader can be put in Real-time mode by pressing the sensor button once. - The LED located on the transmitter will flash once as response, and Energy Reader will hereafter remain in real-time mode for the next approx. 15 min. after which it will revert to the normal function and transmit data every 15 minutes. Note! The battery life expectancy will be significantly reduced by frequent use of the Real-time function Press button 2 times Normal Mode / Sleep Mode Energy Reader operates normally by transferring the data collected from the wireless transmitter to the USB receiver every 15 minutes - this is called Normal Mode. If Energy Reader has been put in Real-time Function, it can be reversed into Normal Mode by pressing two times on the sensor button. - The LED will flash twice and the Energy Reader will then again be transmitting data every 15 minutes. Note! In Normal Mode the sensor LED will not flash every time a pulse has been detected Press button 3 times Learn mode (including and excluding) When establishing the connection between the wireless transmitter and USB receiver, it is necessary to start the learn mode: - Press three times on the sensor button - The LED will flash 3 times as responds. Subsequently, the wireless transmitter will attempt to obtain contact with the USB receiver. This should only be done the first time connection is established between the two devices. Including the transmitter in a new Z-wave network Make sure that the Z-Wave Master (controller/receiver) is in inclusion mode before attempting to include a new Z-wave device to the network. When establishing the connection between the wireless transmitter and the Z-Wave network, it is necessary to start Learn mode: 1. Press three times on the sensor button. 2. The LED will flash 3 times as responds. 3. Subsequently, the wireless transmitter will attempt to obtain contact with the Z- Wave Master device in order to be included to the network. Excluding the transmitter from a Z-Wave network Make sure that the Z-Wave Master (controller/receiver) is in exclusion mode before attempting to exclude a Z-wave device from the network. If the wireless transmitter has already been included in an existing Z-Wave network, it is necessary to start Learn mode in order to remove the device from the Z-Wave network again: 1. Press the sensor button three times. 2. The LED will flash 3 times as responds.

26 26 ENGLISH 3. Subsequently, the wireless transmitter will attempt to obtain contact with the Z- Wave Master device in order to be excluded from the network. Note: It is important to consult with the user guide for the Z-Wave Master device, on the desired Z-Wave network, in order to determine how to include and exclude other Z-Wave products to the Z-Wave network Press button 5 times Calibration function When mounting Energy Reader on a mechanical meter it is necessary to calibrate the sensor head to ensure a correct reading of consumption from the meter. Press 5 times on the sensor button once the sensor head has been mounted to start the calibration. The LED will start flashing to indicate that calibration has begun. The calibration takes approx minutes, and the LED will start to flash in a slower rate as the calibration is nearing completion. When the calibration is completed the LED will turn off. Hereafter the LED will flash once each time a rotation have been registered from the power meter. Note! If the LED does not turn off and begins flashing rapidly instead after calibration is completed, this means that the Energy Reader could not make a proper reading of the rotational dial on the power meter and alternative mounting of the sensor head should be attempted Press and hold button for 5 seconds Fine tuning mode In order to ensure a correct reading of consumption data from mechanical meters it may be necessary to make fine tuning adjustments to the placement of the sensor head. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds to begin the fine tuning function. The LED will begin to flash rapidly. The brightness of the LED will vary depending on how optimal reading conditions are registered by the sensor head. Place the sensor head where the LED will glow with the brightest light. Then press the sensor button 5 times to start the calibration function again Press button 7 times Reset to factory default Press seven times on the sensor button to reset the wireless transmitter. - The LED will respond with: 3 short flashes 2 seconds being lit, or longer if a longer period of data is stored and again 3 short flashes to indicate that the resetting has been completed correctly. Note! All data stored in the Energy Reader will be deleted permanently. Only reset the wireless transmitter if experiencing problems while setting up the wireless connection between the transmitter and USB receiver, or after consulting the hotline support.
