INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

8 STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION

1

Choose suitable locations for the Energy Manager and Display, ensuring that the data ports on the
bottom of the Energy Manager are easily accessible for the end user. This product uses WiFi
technology to link the controller to the display. The signal from the Energy Manager should reach
the Display within modern houses but solid walls and obstructions can affect this. To ensure best

performance the distance between the Display and Energy Manager should not exceed 5
metres. If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the signal strength please check before

installation.

2

Ensure a mains power supply is available at these locations.

If your chosen location for the Energy Manager is not adjacent to the services you require to be
monitored then run cabling between these positions during your first fix installation.

3

Fix the Energy Manager and Display in their final positions and make power supply connections.

Make connections to the service you require to be monitored. Note: Additional equipment may

be required to connect to other manufacturer’s products. Please contact NetThings if in doubt.

Pair the Display to the Energy manager, complete the channel setup, and remove the yellow
commissioning warning banner.

Use energy on systems that you have connected to and check that this registers on your display.

Leave information with the end user for them to gain maximum usage of this product.

Please install current

transducers in correct

orientation as detailed

on the device.

Note the CT size details for set up later.

CURRENT FLOW

The supply should be a

3A Switched Fused
Spur, marked to show
its purpose and easily

accessible.

When connecting current
transducers:

• Install single phase

monitoring to channel one.

• For 3 phase CT follow L1,

L2, L3 normal logical
connection.

When connecting

PULSE cables, start

connections at

channel 4 first

before connecting

to channel 5 & 6.

Channel 6 is used for both PULSE &
M-Bus (where fitted) inputs.

PLEASE NOTE:

• The M-Bus functionality is enabled

via the M-Bus menu in the
Configuration Setup. If enabled,
ensure no pulse connections are
made on Channel 6

• M-Bus wiring has no polarity

• Unsupported meters that are

discovered on the scan may need
further setup to define the correct
M-Bus records to report on.

INSTALLATION TIPS

• Cables between Netthings

controller and pulse enabled
meters should be Belden 9501
or equivalent.

• Ensure gas meters that are

pulse enabled are fitted with
the appropriate pulse block.
As there are several different
types please ensure that the
correct pulse block is ordered.

• The Display and the Controller

need to be within 5m of each
other otherwise the WIFI
communication may be
unreliable.

The Energy Manager Controller is typically
mounted in a recessed 2-gang pattress box,
however should the Controller be mounted in a
surface box or directly to the wall, glands and
cable restraints should be used as required. It is
powered via a 3A Switched Fused Spur, marked
to show its purpose and easily accessible.

(Example of a Recessed Box Installation)

The Energy Manager Display should be mounted in a recessed 2­gang pattress box and powered via a 3A Switched Fused Spur,
marked to show its purpose and easily accessible. The power and
reset button for the display can be accessed via the small hole on
the top left of the display mount (5” Display) or the right hand side
of the display mount (7” Display) with the supplied Allen key.

If you have any questions about installing this product please contact NetThings or visit www.netthings.co.uk

COMMISSIONING THE ENERGY MANAGER

Once the Controller and Display have been correctly installed, power up both and wait for the controller to
broadcast its own Wi-Fi signal.

The display can be turned on using the Allen key provided, inserted into the small hole of the frame if it hasn’t

started upon application of power.

POWER UP

WIFI CONNECTION (WPS)

WPS is the easiest method to connect the Controller
& Display

• Press and hold the # button on the energy

manager for 3 seconds until its LED turns solid
Green and release.

• Press the WPS symbol on the screen of the display.

• The display will automatically connect to the

controller and show the home page.

The Controller and Display can also be paired using the password supplied with the Controller.

• The SSID and password to pair Controller and Display can found within the packaging and also on a label on the

top of the controller.

• Select the correct Energy Manager WIFI from the list displayed to pair the display. The SSID will start with ‘NT_’.

• Enter the password for the chosen Controller.

• Check the signal strength and press ASSOCIATE.

WIFI CONNECTION (Alternative Method)

The SSID (wireless connection name) for the Controller will be shown on the Display when the Controller has
successfully started. The list can be refreshed by swiping downwards on the screen.

The Controller’s LEDs will light continuously green whilst it is

starting up, for approximately 1-2 minutes. Once the LEDs
start to flash green, the controller is ready to connect
wirelessly to the display.

• Check that all connected channels are enable by turning the State
to ON and that the correct CT types are selected.

• If monitoring a 3-phase supply then turn 3-phase ON in Channel 1.

• The Name field can be used for the installer to identify what is

connected.

SETTING UP ELECTRICITY CHANNELS

• The Type field is used to select the CT that has

been used in the installation.

• The terminal blocks shown as blue indicate

the connection pair that correspond to the
channel.

• Press Save Channel Configuration before

exiting and use setup button in the top right
hand corner to return to the Configuration
Menu.

(Typical example of a Single Phase Electricity Configuration)

• Check that all connected channels are enable by turning the State
to ON.

• The Type field has a drop down menu and this will allow you to

choose the correct utility type that is connected to your energy
manager.

• The Name field can be used for the installer to identify what is

connected.

• The Pulse Value field should be set to the corresponding value of

the energy source that you are connecting to. This value may be
indicated on the connected energy source.

• Press Save Channel Configuration before exiting and use setup

button in the top right hand corner to return to the Configuration
Menu.

SETTING UP PULSE INPUT CHANNELS

CONFIGURATION

Following a successful WIFI connection between the Controller and
the Display, the Energy Manger should now be configured to
enable the energy sources that are connected to the meter.

To Setup the system, press the setup icon in the top right
hand corner of the screen.

Press Channels Configuration to start configuration of the
channels.
(Please Note: M-Bus options are only visible and enabled on M­Bus capable hardware. 3rdparty integration menus are only
visible when appropriate hardware is connected.)

If intending to use M-Bus functionality or any 3rdparty integration, please follow the

instructions in appropriate Appendix first, before returning to the complete the pulse

setup, and the remainder of the commissioning process.
