Device: D-Box
IMAGE 1 and IMAGE 2 show a D-Box from the plug side and from the button side. Your D-Box may look differently, as for some electricity providers the D-Box comes in a cus-tom design. (A) marks the location of the LED. It is hidden and only visible when on. (B) marks the button.
On the bottom side, two labels are indicating:
- The manufacturer
- The device model number (REF) and current rating
- The hardware (HW) and firmware (FW) version
- The unique serial/MAC address as text and as Aztec 2D code (SN/MAC)
Device: Socket
IMAGE 3 shows the socket. It is connected to the electrical wiring of the
heater and of-fers a socket to plug the D-Box. It features 5 screw terminals
for the contacts and a strain relief (IMAGE 7).
On the top cover is indicated
- The manufacturer
- The device model number (REF) and current rating
Device: Continuity Bridge (Tap)
IMAGE 4 shows the continuity bridge. If a customer decides not to take part in
the tiko cloud, the D-Box can be removed from the socket and the continuity
bridge is engaged to restore the original contacts for manual operation of the
electric heater.
Accessory: Holder
IMAGE 6 shows the D-Box holder. It is mounted on the wall and holds the D-Box
plugged into the socket. This facilitates the handling of the D-Box, for
example on disconnect or replace: The device can first be brought out from
behind the heater and then operated in a more comfortable position.
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 sup-ply (main breaker or fuses)!
- IMAGE 17 shows possible D-Box locations around the heater. The best position is bottom left, right or center. Under no circumstances install the D-Box above the heater. This will result in thermal issues and my damage the device!
Installing the D-Box
Step 1 | Remove power from the electrical panel. |
---|---|
Step 2 | Unhook the heater from its holder and put it to the side. |
Plan the location of the D-Box in advance. It should be in 2 – 3 cm of the heater ( IMAGE 10 ) and a permitted position ( IMAGE 17 ). Use, for example, a pencil to carefully mark the planned location.
Step 3| Disconnect the radiator from the wall.
If you own the Kit K03-CDK-01.1014-01-P1 or K01-CDK-01.1016-01-
P1, the D-Box socket is already equipped with a piece of cable on one side.
The legacy kits that are not yet equipped with pre-wired socket need an additional small piece of suitable cable. Ensure the cable is compliant.
Prepare the wires where necessary by crimping bootlace ferrules.
Step 4| Remove the cover from the socket. If you hold the socket like
displayed in IMAGE 18 , clamp the phase coming from the wall/source
into the top terminal, and the phase going to the heater into the bottom
terminal.
Step 5| Clamp the neutral wire coming from the wall/source and going to
the heater into the middle terminal. There is space on both sides of the screw
for two wires.
Step 6| If your heater supports Fil Pilote : hold the socket as displayed
in IM- AGE 18 , clamp the Fil Pilote coming from the wall/source into
upper middle terminal and the Fil Pilote going to the heater into the lower
mid- dle terminal. A proper wiring is displayed in IMAGE 8.
Step 7| Firmly tighten any unused terminal.
---|---
Step 8| Fasten the strain relief to prevent the wires in the terminal from
being pulled out.
| Tighten again all clamp screws with enough torque. Insuffi- cient
clamping force can result in high contact resistance that leads to device
heating and can result in a fire hazard.
Step 9| Put back the cover of the socket.
Step 10| Engage the D-Box and the socket as displayed in IMAGE 9.
Push the two levers of the socket in order to open the safety shutter and
plug in the D-Box.
| Pay attention to the orientation of the socket and D-Box when plugging.
The printed text on the socket and the top side of the D-Box must be on the
same side (see IMAGE 9).
Step 11| IMAGE 17 shows the permitted and prohibited positions for
mounting the D-Box.
| It is forbidden to place the D-Box above the heater for ther- mal
reasons. The device could overheat. Preferred position is below the heater or
laterally below (IMAGE 17).
| Ensure a distance of 2 cm – 3 cm between the heater and
the D-Box (IMAGE 10).
| Depending on the mounting solution supplied with your unit, you will need
to proceed to either Step 11a or Step 11b.
If your device is equipped with the metal holder ( IMAGE 6 ), please pro- ceed with Step 11a.
If your device is equipped with an air-sealed bag containing 3 patches of Velcro and/or double tape, please proceed with Step 11b.
Step 11a| The D-Box holder can be mounted with screws (preferred if the condi- tion of the wall allows it) or with an adhesive tape. It can be installed in all directions, including upside down ( IMAGE 15 and IMAGE 16 ).
By means of screws:
Use two screws size 4×20 with countersunk head. Examples: Wood/chipboard screw, screw with dowel.
| The type of screw must be appropriate for the correspond- ing wall.
---|---
| ****
When using dowels, make sure that (i) the dowel size fits the screw size and (ii) the type of dowel is appropriate for the wall.
| Fasten the holder in the desired location ( IMAGE 12 ). Refer to IM- AGE 17 for permitted and prohibited locations of the D-Box.
By means of adhesive tape:
The adhesive tape supplied with the holder is a Nano Suction Tape. Its adhesive force is generated by nano-sized suction cups. It is adhesive- free and does not dry out.
Peel off the protective film as shown in IMAGE 13. The permitted and prohibited positions of the D-Box are shown in IMAGE 17. Press the holder firmly into the desired position.
| The wall must be free of dust. Otherwise, the dust will clog the nano-
sized suction cups and the holder will fall off shortly after.
| When pressing against the wall, ensure that you apply an evenly
distributed force of at least 15 kg. Unlike adhesive- based tapes, the
adhesion force of the Nano Tape depends on the contact pressure.
| After successfully mounting the holder, slide the D-Box (plugged into the
socket, see Step 10) into the holder ( IMAGE 14).
| tiko is not liable for damage caused by improper mounting or due to
defective condition of the building substance.
Step 11b| Open the sealed bag and place the patches onto the D-Box and
socket
at the positions indicated in IMAGE 11.
Remove the protection foils and push the D-Box onto the wall at the desired location. Refer to IMAGE 17 for permitted locations. Hold it for several seconds.
The D-Box should now stay in place. If it seems loose, the glue on the patches has been dried out due to bad storage conditions. Contact your reseller to obtain fresh patches.
| The glue of the patches needs to dry for at least for 24 hours before
reaching full strength. Do not unplug or move the D-Box during this time.
---|---
Step 12| Lift the heater back to its hooks.
Step 13| Power on the system by enabling power in the electrical panel.
Config- ure the heater to the hottest possible level/temperature.
Step 14| To finalize the installation , all tiko devices must be
configured using the installation app. Remind that to each room with one
or multiple D-Boxes belongs a temperature sensor (REF: CASTH-01.1004-01).
Operation
Device Operation
There are two functions assigned to the button:
- Short press (min. 1 sec., less than 5 sec.) – test communication quality to the Gateway. For the description of the LED, see section LED Explanation.
- Long press (more than 5 sec.) – Heater test. For details, please refer to the sec-tion Heater Test.
The D-Box 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 D-Box features one LED in the middle of the device. It is only visible when lit.
In normal operation:
LED | Status | Notes |
---|---|---|
Off | Operational | |
Blinking yellow, 2x per second | No PLC connectivity | |
Blinking yellow, 1x per second | No connection to cloud/back- | |
end | ||
Red | Power-on self-test failure. | For example, when wrongly wired |
Blinking red | Emergency mode | Device is damaged or has hardware mal- function. |
The relay is closed so that the heater can be operated manually.
In firmware upgrade mode:
LED | Status | Notes |
---|
Blinks yel-
low/green 2x
per second
| Device running firmware upgrade|
If the button is pressed for one second, the LED displays the quality of the com-munication to the Gateway:
LED | Status | Notes |
---|---|---|
Steady Red | No connectivity | Since the last start of the device, it did not |
receive any data.
Blinking yellow, 4x per second| No communication for 2 minutes| At least one
data packet was received, but for 2 minutes the device did not receive
any signal.
Steady Green| The communication is in the optimal state|
In Heater Test mode: see section Heater Test.
Heater Test
A long press of the button (more than 5 seconds) triggers a test of the
electrical heater. With this, the D-Box can check if the wiring is correct.
The test is executed locally on the D-Box and does not need any connectivity
to the Gateway or the back-end.
The test is available for both Fil Pilote and Relay mode. To choose the
correct mode, the D-Box must have been properly configured in the install app.
The test consists of the following steps:
- Switch the heater ON.
- Wait for it to consume a certain amount of energy during a certain time.
- Switch the heater OFF.
- Ensure if the heater stops consuming.
- Repetition of steps 1 to 4.
- Display of the result:
LED| Status
---|---
Off| Test not running or stopped.
Blinking Green| Test in progress.
Steady Green| Test completed successfully.
Steady Red| The test failed during a switch.
Blinking Red| The test failed while trying to keep the heater on or off. - Now the button must be pressed again to exit from the test.
- If step 7 – exit the test by pressing again the button – is forgotten, the LED will continue to display the result status. In case this step was for-gotten during the installation process, just press the button again.
- The test relies on a proper configuration of the Relay vs. Fil Pilote mode of the D-Box. For example, if the Heater features Fil Pilote, but the D-Box is set to Relay Mode, the test will complete successfully (but maybe the heater will beep or switch on and off). The other way around the test will fail.
Uninstalling
The D-Box can be uninstalled in 3 different ways:
Decommissioning
In the backend, the D-Box can be disabled. In this case, a relay inside the
D-Box is closed in such way that the wires are bridged. The D-Box remains in
place, but the heater can be operated manually.
Continuity Bridge
The D-Box is removed from the socket. The socket is bridged using the
Continuity Bridge CATA-01.1103-P1) displayed on IMAGE 4.
Complete Uninstallation
Step 1 | Remove power from the electrical panel. |
---|---|
Step 2 | Unhook the heater from its holders and put it to the side. |
Step 3 | Unplug the D-Box, open the socket and unscrew all wires. |
Step 4 | Reconnect the wires from the heater to the wall/source again. |
Step 5 | If your unit is equipped with a metal holder, remove it. |
If the holder is mounted by means of screw, unscrew the holder, and fill the holes with putty.
If the holder is mounted with the Nano Tape, carefully and slowly rotate the holder, until it starts to come off. Further twist and tilt the holder until it comes off completely. Ensure the wall and/or paint is not dam- aged. You might need to rub off remaining Nano Tape with your finger.
Step 6| Lift the heater back onto its holders and power on the system by ena-
bling power in the electrical panel.
Step 7| 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.
