RS-485 Bus Installation Cautions

Cable Selection: Using 2-core RVVSP cable, copper wire core ≥0.2mm².

Wiring Recommendation:

1. The length of the cable bus shall be less than 100m.
2. Using the same type of cable in one cable bus system.
3. Reduce the connectors in the line. Ensure the solid connection and seal to avoid loosening and oxidation.
4. Daisy-chain connection rather than Star connection and Branch connection.
5. RS-485 bus’s one end of the shielded layer shall be connected to the ground wire.
6. During the installation, please turn on the RS-485Termination Resistor Switch while other units are kept off.

Common Problems

Fail to pair Wi-Fi devices with eWeLink APP

1. Make sure the device is in pairing mode.
   The device will automatically exit the pairing mode if not paired within 3mins.

2. Please turn on the location service on your mobile phone and give the permission.
   Before choosing the Wi-Fi network, the location service should be turned on and the permission is given. Location information permission is used to obtain Wi-Fi list information. If you tap “Disable”, the device will not be added.

3. Make sure your Wi-Fi network runs on the 2.4GHz band.

4. Make sure you entered a correct Wi-Fi SSID and password, no special characters contained. A wrong password is a very common reason for pairing failure.

5. You may get the device close to the router for a good signal transmission while pairing.

Wi-Fi devices “Offline” issues

Please check the following issues by the Wi-Fi LED indicator status:

The LED indicator blinks once every 2s means you fail to connect to the router.

1. Maybe you entered a wrong Wi-Fi SSID and password.
2. Make sure your Wi-Fi SSID and password don’t contain special characters, for example, the Hebrew, Arabic characters. Our system can’t recognize these characters so that fail to connect to the Wi-Fi.
3. Maybe your router has a lower carrying capacity.
4. Maybe the Wi-Fi signal strength is weak. Your router is too far away from your device, or there may be some obstacles between the router and the device so that the signal transmission is blocked.
5. Be sure that the MAC of the device is not on the blacklist of your MAC management.

The LED indicator flashes twice on repeated means you fail to connect to the server.

1. Make sure the Internet connection is normal. You can use your phone or PC to connect to the Internet, and if you fail to access, please check the availability of the Internet connection.
2. Maybe your router has a low carrying capacity. The number of devices connected to the router exceeds its maximum value. Please check the maximum number of devices that your router can carry. If the number of connected devices exceeds the maximum value, please delete some devices or change a lager router and try again.
3. Please contact your ISP and confirm our server address is not shielded:
   cn-disp.coolkit.cc (China Mainland)
   as-disp.coolkit.cc (in Asia except China)
   eu-disp.coolkit.cc (in EU)
   us-disp.coolkit.cc (in US)
   If none of the above methods solved this problem, please submit your issue via help & feedback on the eWeLink App.
