The present installation manual contains important information and warnings which have to be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the unit in safe condition. Interventions Any interventions to the EpIO must be done by technical service staff only. Note Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party for compliance (EnergyICT®) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Removing the protective panel Before removing the protective panel, make sure the device power is switched off. Distance Limitations Depending on the location, the distance to a remote node should be no more than 100 – 150 meters. Note The protective panel can only be opened by qualified electricians. 2/20 Notice on Interference Class B digital device This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Use of radio frequency energy This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Preventing interference If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 3/20 Power Supply Wiring Safety Guidelines Securing the device To ensure safe operation, the EpIO must be secured externally 16A maximum. Switch For safety reasons, the EpIO must be installed close to an easily accessible switch that removes power from the device. Wiring The following additional guidelines must be taken into account: • The power supply wiring must be double isolated • The power supply wiring must be mechanically secured. Protective earth The power supply must be connected to the power connector of the EpIO, preferably by means of solid wiring. The device must be properly grounded, using the power connector’s protective earth pin. Caution The power wiring must guarantee a permanent connection to the protective earth. 4/20 Chapter 1: Introduction Overview Introduction This chapter provides the user with an introduction to the EpIO, its main internal components and its main functions. Chapter description This chapter describes the following topics: Topic Page About the EpIO [6] Components [8] 5/20 About the EpIO Purpose The EpIO designed by EnergyICT® serves as the last point in the meter reading chain, just before the meter itself. EpIO’s are manufactured as universal models for all energy meters and contain multiple interfaces towards the meters. These devices can be used to monitor temperature and humidity as well. Network Setup Ideally, multiple EpIO’s are used in combination with a master data concentrator (RTU+® V6, WebRTU® Z2 or RTU+® Server). The network between the data concentrator and the EpIO’s is self-forming and selfhealing, with the data concentrator acting as central master and the EpIO’s acting as slaves. It is self-forming because after installation, each device auto-configures itself and detects if any devices are in the vicinity, thereby creating a network capable of expanding itself without any manual intervention. Each EpIO sends its consumption data via RF directly or indirectly to the data concentrator. Indirect communication is possible thanks to the dual role of the EpIO: It can send its own data to the data concentrator but can also act as a repeater for the data of another EpIO simultaneously. Moreover, the network is self-healing due to automatic repair when one device fails (due to disconnection, fire, etc…): a remote EpIO simply detects another EpIO in its vicinity to send its data to. This network communication is very similar to the one used by routers on the Internet, that communicate amongst each other and update their internal routing tables, in order to recalculate a new routing path should a router fail. But contrary to this mesh-networking by routers, EpIO’s can never serve as master, only as slave or as submaster; in which case a single EpIO collects the data from multiple EpIO’s before sending it to the master data concentrator. Design The EpIO is built into a robust ABS box resisting easily to any industrial environment. Main Functions The table below lists the main function of the EpIO: Function Description Data transfer The EpIO can transfer data (channel status, pulse counts...): • Directly to the master concentrator (RTU+® V6) • Indirectly to the master concentrator by sending the data via other EpIO’s The master concentrator can drive the EpIO to turn certain loads on or off via the EpIO’s digital outputs. Control output Types/options After the assembly of the EpIO no changes can be made to the unit. Take in consideration the type and option you want before ordering. The table below lists the 2 EpIO types: Article Code EINF100004 EINF100005 Description INF EpIO 2DO RF INF EpIO 2DO 2DI RS485 Mbus RF 6/20 This manual only describes the EINF100004 EpIO. For the EINF100005 EpIO, please refer to the appropriate manual. Both types are capable of monitoring temperature and humidity, by using the required sensor: Article Code EPMS000001 EPMS000002 Description INF Temp Sensor EpIO INF Temp Humid Sensor EpIO Serial Number Indication The serial number of the EpIO consists of 14 digits divided into 3 groups. It can be found on the bottom left side of the box, as shown in the image below: A. Serial number XXXX – YYYYYY – ZZZZ • XXXX: Family Type • YYYYYY: Unique Serial Number • ZZZZ: Production Week B. NW_ID (Network ID) Must be the same for all EpIO’s connected to the same network. This number can be found on the status page of the RTU+® V6 data concentrator. C. Node_ID = YYYYYY = Unique Serial Number Must be different for all EpIO’s connected to the same network. This number can also be found on the status page of the RTU+® V6 data concentrator. D.
