EMD-1ZBS Electricity Power Reader

Introduct

The Energy Meter is a ZigBee Electricity Power reader designed to be used with a digital watt hour meter
supporting LED pulse output port. The E-meter reads the LED pulse from the watt hour meter and transmits the
data to ZigBee network coordinator.

The Energy Meter utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless communication
protocol that is reliable, has low power consumption and has high transmission efficiency. Based on the
IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network and coordinated for
data exchange and signal transmission.
The Energy Meter serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee network to
transmit signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network through the Energy
Meter.

Parts Identification

1. LED indicator

The LED indicator lights up in the following conditions:

- Flashes quickly:

The Energy Meter received LED signal.

- Flashes once:
The Energy Meter is reset.

- Flashes twice:
The Energy Meter has successfully joined a ZigBee network.

- Flashes every 20 minutes
The Energy Meter has lost connection to current ZigBee network

Features



Battery and Low Battery Detection

The Energy Meter uses 2 Alkaline 1.5V batteries as its power source, It feature Low Battery Detection
function. When the battery voltage is low, the Energy Meter will transmit Low Battery signal to notify ZigBee
network coordinator.

When changing battery, after removing the old batteries, press the function button a couple times to fully
discharge before inserting new batteries

 Supervision

T

he Energy Meter will transmit a supervision signal to report its condition regularly according to user setting.

he factory default interval is 30 minutes. The user can also press the Function Button once to transmit a

T
supervision signal manually.

ZigBee Network Setup



ZigBee Device Guideline

ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable, has low power consumption and has high
transmission efficiency. Based on the IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be
included in a network and are coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.



Joining the ZigBee Network

As a ZigBee device, the Power Switch needs to join a ZigBee network to receive commands and transmit
energy consumption information. Follow the steps bellow to join the Power Switch into a ZigBee network.

The Energy Meter can only join ZigBee network within 3 minutes after power on.

1. Insert batteries to power on the E-meter.

2. Press and hold the function button for 10 seconds within 3 minutes after power on to reset E-meter and
start searching for existing ZigBee network. Please make sure the permit-to-join feature on the router or
coordinator of your ZigBee network is enabled.

3. If the E-meter successfully joins a ZigBee network, the LED Indicator will flash twice to confirm.

4. After joining the ZigBee network, the Power Switch will be registered in the network automatically. Please
check the Zigbee network coordinator, system control panel or CIE (Control and Indicating Equipment) to
confirm if joining and registration is successful.

5. If registration and joining to the network is unsuccessful, please check your ZigBee network coordinator,
system control panel or CIE setting to ensure the permit-to-join function is available, and then use the
Factory Reset function below to join the ZigBee network.



Removing Device from ZigBee Network (Factory Reset)

To remove the device from current ZigBee network, the Energy Meter must be put to Factory Reset to
complete device removal. Factory Reset function will clear the device of its stored setting information and
prompt Energy Meter to search for new ZigBee network.

Before removing device, make sure Energy Meter is within current ZigBee network signal range

1. Delete Energy Meter from current control panel / CIE.

2. The Energy Meter can only be reset within 3 minutes after power up. If it has been powered up for more

than 3 minutes, remove and reinsert the battery.

3. Press and hold the function button for 10 seconds, then release the button to reset Energy Meter.

4. Upon reset, the Energy Meter will clear current ZigBee network setting and transmit signal to ZigBee

coordinator to remove itself from current ZigBee network. It will then actively search for available ZigBee
network again and join the network automatically.

Operation

Installation

Wat Hour Meter connection.

A Washer with double-side adhesive tape is provided to connect the IR sensor to watt hour meter

1. Locate the LED pulse output port on the watt hour meter, remove the double-side adhesive tape cover on
the washer and apply the washer around the LED port.

2. The sensor head has built-in magnet. Apply the sensor head to the washer to attach the sensor to LED port
for reading LED pulse from watt hour meter
