What is WAVMI

WAVMI allows mains voltage signals to be detected by a Rako wired system. So, the Rako system can
be made aware that certain circuits are active. This includes inputs from Alarm sensors & PIR
modules, central heating controls, fan motors – almost anything.

Getting started with WAVMI

Connect WAVMI to system

WAVMI must be connected to A RAKO Wired System. The simplest method is by connecting the RJ11
patch lead from the WAVMI to one of the RJ11 sockets on a system RAK-Link or RAK-Star. The RJ11
patch lead may also be plugged into a WA-Con access point.

If the WAVMI cannot be mounted near to a RAK-Link etc then the connection may be made by CAT5
cable to a Punch Down Daughterboard. The normal rules apply for terminations when connecting
the CAT5 cable in this way, as on a Wired Wallplate.

In Figure 2 above:
WAVMI 1 is connected using Punch Down Daughterboard. It is at the end of the CAT5 cable so the
Term Jumper is set on its daughterboard.
WAVMI 2 is connected using Punch Down Daughterboard. It is in middle of the CAT5 cable so No
jumpers are set on its daughterboard.
WAVMI 3 is connected directly to a RAK-Link using RJ11 Patch Lead. A Daughterboard is not used
and No jumpers should be set on that daughterboard.

AC Wiring to the WAVMI

WAVMI has 5 inputs. Each input is a 4 way terminal block.
An input will register as ON when it has LIVE volts on it’s SL terminal.
The WAVMI must have a common Neutral connection between itself and the switching source.
Other aux Live, Neutral, Earth terminals are provided to allow tidy wiring to security PIR’s and so on.
Figure 4 shows some wiring examples.
