Safety Warnings and Working Instructions

Hazard Risk

• Read the user manual before installing and operating this product!
• Installation by person with electronical expertise and training on this product only!
• Disconnect all power sources before carrying out any manipulation!
• Always use appropriate protection equipment!
• Danger! High voltage!
• Never touch disconnected wires! Life hazard!
• Only use for current/voltage as indicated on the device label! Doing otherwise can cause device damage and may pose an electrical shock or fire hazard!
• Not properly tightened screws can cause a high contact resistance, lead to overheating, and cause a fire hazard!
• Not properly connecting the Neutral will damage the device and pose safety risk!
• External voltage risk! An external voltage source can be connected to the K-Box relay terminals. Even if all the main counters are open/disconnected, there could still be high voltage on the relay terminal clamps coming from an auxiliary source (e.g., ripple control, UPS, generator, PV, emergency PSU). Before any handling verify that there is no voltage source wired to the K-Box.

Warnings

• Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

• To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum admitted ambient temperature of 55 °C.

• This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (over current) protection.
  Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 420 VAC, 65 A is used on all current-carrying conductors.

• The circuit breaker shall be in front, close to the device, and easily reachable by the operator, and it shall be marked as the disconnecting breaker for the device.

• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

• The device is intended for indoor use only.

• Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

• Any usage of this device in a manner that does not conform to these manual specifications can impair the provided safety protection.

Safety Instructions

Read these safety instructions carefully.

Overview

Intended Use
K-Box is a custom energy meter with a remote-controlled relay to be only used in tiko Energy Solutions AG authorized setups. 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 installa-tion/usage of this device.
Features
K-Box features:

• meters instantaneous energy consumption on 3 phases
• remotely controlled relay
• status LEDs showing connection and relay status.

Package Content
Open the package and check that you have all the following items:

• Instruction manual
• K-Box

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 1 shows the device from the front. IMAGE 2 shows the device from the bottom and indicates the phases and neutral terminals. On the bottom side is a label 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 barcode 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 M-Box

Step 1| Connect the power cord to the M-Box ( IMAGE 7 ) and engage the plug in a free socket. Please see also section PLC Quality.
---|---
Step 2| Optional (if connection to back-end via ethernet): Connect the LAN ca- ble to your router ( IMAGE 6 ).
Step 3| To finalize the installation , all tiko devices must be configured using the

installation app.

Operation

Device Operation
The operation of the K-Box is subject to the control of the full system and is operated by the Data Center through the Gateway (M-Box). No user interaction is required.
On the front, there are two buttons, offering the following functionalities:

• Holding down while engaging the M-Box to a power outlet:
  • a forced firmware update is triggered.
• Pushing normal operation:
  • toggle between user mode and technical mode.
  • User Mode: steady green LED. The “heartbeat” of the device is 1 minute. All status LEDs are updated every minute.
  • Technical Mode: blinking green LED. The “heartbeat” of the device is 1 second. The round LED blinks to show the device is working. Also, every second all status LEDs are updated.

PLC Quality
Several factors can have an impact on the quality of the communication through the power lines between the M-Box and the other tiko devices. It is advised to ensure the following points:

• Plug the M-Box directly into a wall socket, not into a power strip (IMAGE 8).
• Do not plug in the M-Box near sources of disturbances like: Power supplies (e.g., from routers, TV box or LED lamps) and transformers (e.g., for dimmable lamps).
• Consider filtering the disturbance sources mentioned above using a PLC Filter, e.g., myStrom Power Line Filter (REF PQFIL1-EU, PQFIL1-FR). A such example setup is shown in IMAGE 9.
