Who’s your frient Product info

EMIZB141 LED Electricity Meter Interface 2,

The Electricity Meter Interface collects readings from your existing electricity meter and via a compatible hub, the data is sent to a connected device, e.g. your smartphone.
This way, the Electricity Meter Interface enables you to follow your electricity consumption remotely.
Now that’s a frient!

Getting started. Step-by-step

How to get started, where to place your device and precautions.

Precautions

• Do not remove the product label as it contains important information.
• It is a good idea to take a picture of the electricity meter before installation so you can save the number of imp/kWh. Occasionally, the number is close to the LED and by attaching the probe you might cover the number.

Placement
Place the Electricity Meter Interface indoors at a temperature between -20 and +60°C, close to the electricity meter.

How to get started

1. Open the casing of the device by pressing the button and removing the lid.
2. Remove the battery pull tap.
3. The Electricity Meter Interface will now start searching (up to 15 minutes) for a Zigbee network to join.
4. Make sure that the Zigbee network on your hub is open for joining devices and will accept the Electricity Meter Interface.
5. While the Electricity Meter Interface is searching for a Zigbee network to join, the LED flashes yellow.

Installation steps

The Electricity Meter Interface is equipped with an optical probe that is easily attached to your meter.

1. Insert the end of the probe into the indicated socket on the Electricity Meter Interface.
   The casing needs to be removed to insert the probe.

2. Peel off the slip of the black metal plate to expose the adhesive.

3. Place the hole in the metal plate directly over the flashing LED labeled imp/kWh on your meter. Be as precise as possible when placing the hole over the flashing LED to ensure the best reading. If you meter does not have a LED labelled imp/kWh, please consult your meter’s manual for the placement of the LED. If in doubt, wait up to 1 minute to see which LED is blinking on your meter. The LED will blink when you are consuming energy.

4. Attach the probe to the metal plate using the embedded magnets in the probe. Please ensure that the probe is attached properly to the metal plate.

5. Mount the EMI 2 device with either a screw or the adhesive found in the box.

Battery replacement and resetting

How to change batteries and reset your Electricity Meter Interface.

Battery replacement
CAUTION:

• RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERIES ARE REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF THE BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
• DISPOSAL OF A BATTERY INTO FIRE OR A HOT OVEN, OR MECHANICALLY CRUSHING OF A BATTERY, CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION.
• LEAVING A BATTERY IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR THE LEAKAGE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID OR GAS.
• A BATTERY SUBJECTED TO EXTREMELY LOW AIR PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR THE LEAKAGE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID OR GAS.

CAUTION: When removing cover for battery change – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can harm electronic components inside.

1. To remove the batteries, open the casing of the device by pressing the button and removing the lid. 2. After removing the used batteries, insert new AA-batteries respecting the polarities.
   3. Close the casing of the device. Make sure that the lid is inserted correctly into the two locking mechanisms highlighted in circles.

Resetting
Resetting is needed if you need to reconnect your Electricity Meter Interface or if you need to perform a factory reset to remove abnormal behavior.
Steps for resetting

1. Open the casing of the device.
2. Press and hold the menu button until the LED flashes numerous times in a row, and then release the button again.
3. After a successful reset the yellow LED will start flashing which indicates network search.

Fault finding. Have in issue?

Having trouble with your Electricity Meter Interface 2? Try this:

• If the EMI does not send correct meter data, check that the probe is mounted correctly to the meter.
• In case of a weak or a bad signal, change the location of the connected hub or strengthen the signal with a Zigbee-based range extender.
