The system is managed by Plugwise Source, a soware applicaon that communicates with the Circles (the smart plugs) via a ZigBee wireless network.The installaon process consists of three steps: plugging in the Circles, installing Source and conguring the system. A detailed manual for Source will be shown if you click the applicaon’s queson mark buon.Installing and conguring your kit can take approximately 45 to 90 minutes.Windows XP/Vista/7 30 MB free disk space 1 GB memory 1 GHz processor 64 MB graphics card Internet conneconSystem requirementsIn order to install Source you need a computer with at least the following specicaons:
Circle+ ÌPak de Circle+ (te herkennen aan de grijze achterkant), de meegeleverde installaelijst en een pen. ÌKies een apparaat in de nabijheid van de computer (niet de computer zelf), dat u op de Circle+ wilt aansluiten en loop naar het apparaat. ÌOp de achterkant van de Circle+ zijn twee sckers met een code bevesgd. Scheur één scker af en plak deze op de installaelijst. Laat de andere scker zien. Het is mogelijk dat de code al op de installataelijst is gedrukt. ÌSchrijf naast de scker op de installaelijst de naam van het apparaat dat u op de Circle aansluit en het vertrek waarin het zich bevindt. ÌSteek nu de Circle+ in het stopcontact en steek vervolgens de stekker van het apparaat in de Circle+. Het aangesloten apparaat zal na enkele seconden ingeschakeld worden.Circle(s) ÌHerhaal de procedure met de resterende Circle(s); scheur de scker los, vul de installaelijst in en sluit het apparaat aan. ÌGa terug naar uw computer wanneer alle Circles zijn ingestoken en de installaelijst volledig is ingevuld.2. Software installatiePlugwise Source is de applicae waarmee u op uw computer verbruiksgegevens van uw apparaten kunt bekijken en schakelschema’s kunt maken om energie te besparen. ÌGa naar www.myplugwise.com en download het installaebestand. ÌStart de installae-wizard door het bestand te openen. Als u Internet Explorer gebruikt, klikt u op ‘uitvoeren’, als u gevraagd wordt of u het bestand wilt uitvoeren of opslaan. ÌDoorloop alle stappen van de installae-wizard, zodat de soware zich automasch installeert op uw computer. ÌZodra Source is geïnstalleerd, wordt de congurae-wizard gestart. Ga dan verder met de stappen die hieronder staan beschreven.Sck ÌPlaats nu de Sck in een USB-ingang van uw computer.3. Congureren van het Plugwise-netwerkDe Source congurae-wizard wordt automasch geopend na de installae van de soware.

Plaatsing van de Circles1 211. Placing the CirclesCircle+The Circle+ is the coordinator of the Plugwise network. This feature only plays a role while installing the network and when new modules are added. The Circle+ also contains a clock that the other Circles use to synchronize their me stamps. The Circle+ should always be installed rst and should always be plugged in within range (30 feet) of the rest of the Plugwise network, even when no appliance is connected. ÌTake the Circle+ (recognizable by the scker at the back with a thick black line at the boom), the included installaon list and a pen. ÌChoose an appliance, located in the same room as the computer, to plug into the Circle+. ÌCarefully tear o the lower code label and sck it in the space on the installaon list. It is possible that the codes have already been printed on the installaon list. ÌWrite the name of the appliance connected to the Circle+ next to the code on the installaon list, as well as the locaon of the appliance. ÌPut the Circle+ into the power socket and plug the appliance into the Circle+.Circle(s) ÌRepeat the above procedure for the other Circle(s). ÌIf Circles are placed close to each other, the Plugwise network will operate faster. Although Circles can bridge longer distances, it is recommended that the Circles are placed no more than 30 feet away from each other. ÌReturn to your computer when all Circles are connected and the installaon list is complete.It is not necessary to install all Circles at once as they can be added later via the sengs menu. This is further explained in the Source manual.Some examples of heavy energy users are: refrigerators, water heaters, ovens and water beds. Most people can save energy on lighng, digital TV tuners, internet routers and devices with a stand-by feature.If you want to connect mulple appliances to one Circle, please take the inrush current of each appliance into account. The inrush current can be many mes the nominal use current of the appliance.

Use tipsWith Plugwise Source you can measure the energy consumpon of each of your appliances and switch the appliances on and o. By sending switching schedules to the Circles you can automacally switch appliances on and o and save on your electricity bill. Your computer can be turned o as energy measurement data and schedules are saved on the Circle’s internal memory.If you remove a Circle from the power socket and put it back in again, it will always switch to ‘on’, regardless of any switching schedule that is assigned to it. This can come in handy if you want to use an appliance that has been switched o automacally by a schedule.
