Overview
Intended Use
The Bridge is a power supply and communication interface for other tiko devices and only to be used in tiko Energy Solutions AG authorized setups.
The Bridge presents on both sides an SBUS connector (IMAGE 1) to be daisy chained with other devices of the same family.
Any installation or usage which does not conform to tiko Energy Solutions AG setup is strictly forbidden. tiko Energy Solutions AG is not responsible for any improper installation/usage of this device.
Features
Bridge features:
- power supply unit (PSU) for SBUS devices to source ca. 10 W @ 5 VDC with short-circuit and overload protection
- independent short-circuit / overload protection on the SBUS to keep the Bridge powered even in case of short-circuit on the SBUS
- GreenPHY PLC bridge between SBUS devices and gateway (M-Box)
- Status LEDs showing data link and device errors
- Button to hard reset the device
Package Content
Open the package and check that you have all the following items:
- Instruction manual
- Bridge
- 50 cm SBUS interconnection cable or SBUS inter-connector (IMAGE 2)
- Clip A and Covers B and C (IMAGE 3)
If any of the parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, please contact the retailer where you made your purchase. Keep the carton box, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the unit for repair.
Device
IMAGE 4 shows the device from front and top view. It indicates the LEDs, the button, and the clamping terminals for Line In ❶, Neutral In ❷. On the left side are two labels indicating
- The manufacturer
- The device model number (REF) and the current rating
- The hardware (HW) and firmware (FW) version
- The unique serial/MAC address as text and as Aztec 2D code (SN/MAC)
Installation
Installation by person with electronical expertise and trained on this
product only!
Do not install the device unless you have removed the main power supply
(main breaker or fuses)!
Installing the Bridge
-
Step 1: Remove power from the electrical panel.
-
Step 2: Remove the cover panel so you can access the wires.
-
Step 3: Ensure that there is a short-circuit protection (breaker or fuse) before the Bridge no larger than 230 VAC 10 A.
-
Step 4 Put the Bridge on the DIN rail of the home distribution box and ensure the hook is locked properly (IMAGE 5).
Connect the right SBUS of the Bridge to the left SBUS of any other device that is part of the installation. Chain as many devices to the right side of the Bridge as required for the installation.
An SBUS is connected in one of the 2 ways:- Using the SBUS interconnector: Plug the SBUS connector in one of the devices and slide the Bridge along the DIN rail towards it (IMAGE 6). Use the Clip A to prevent the SBUS from being disconnected (IMAGE 7).
- Using the SBUS cable: Connect the Bridge to the other device using the provided SBUS cable. Warning: SBUS cables shall not be close to power cables. Minimum clearance is 10 mm.
Use Cover B and Cover C (IMAGE 3) to close the left openings of the Bridge (IMAGE 8).
-
Step 6: Connect the wires to the Bridge (IMAGE 9):
- Connect a phase to the left terminal clamp ❶.
- Connect a neutral to the right terminal clamp ❷.
Tighten all clamp screws with appropriate torque. Insufficient clamping force can result in high contact resistance that leads to device heating and can result in a fire hazard.
-
Step 7: Put back the cover panel of the home distribution box to cover the electrical contacts. Be sure that no electrical contact can be touched.
-
Step 8: Power on the system by enabling power in the electrical panel.
-
Step 9: To finalize the installation, all tiko devices must be configured using the installation app.
Operation
Device Operation
The Bridge features one hardware push button:
- A single press generates a hardware reset.
- 10 times pressing at the speed of one press per second triggers a firmware upgrade of the device.
Any further operation of the Bridge is subject to the control of the full system and operated by the Data Center through the Gateway (M-Box). No user interaction is required.
LED Explanation
The Bridge features two LEDs: a red LED at the top, and a green LED at the
bottom.
- In normal operation:

Bottom LED| Blinks Red @ 0.5 Hz| One blink each 2 seconds.
Uninstalling
- Step 1: Remove power from the electrical panel.
- Step 2: Remove the cover panel. Unwire and remove the device. Keep in mind that other devices of the tiko installation need the Bridge to run.
- Step 3: Put the cover panel back. Ensure that no electrical contact can be touched.
- Step 4: Power on the system.
- Step 5: If the device remains property of tiko Energy Solutions AG or its authorized reseller, it must be returned. Otherwise, the ultimate disposal of a device shall be handled according to national laws and regulations.
