Introduction

The InsightHome is a multi-function communication device that provides an overall view of system performance for residential power monitoring systems. It also provides a communications gateway between a network of Xanbus™-enabled devices and Modbus devices. Operators can configure the InsightHome system and monitor performance with third party software packages and building management systems.

Choosing a Location

You should not run cables through conduits that can be exposed to lightning strikes. The following are recommended maximum cable lengths in a InsightHome system:
- l 131 feet (40 m) Total Xanbus network
- l 328 feet (100 m) Router to InsightHome
- l 164 feet (50 m) Modbus Master (RS 485) to InsightHome
Choose a clean, dry, easily accessible location indoors.
If you mount the InsightHome on a wall, the recommended height is at eye-level so that you can clearly see the LED indicator and have easy access to the data and communication ports.
All of the ports on the InsightHome are accessible from the bottom of the device when mounted on a wall. Clearance of at least 2 inches (50 mm) below the device is needed to allow for the bending radius of cables that connect to the InsightHome.

Mounting the InsightHome

Using the mounting diagram that shipped with your product, mark the mounting holes on the wall with a pencil.
Insert the two anchors and mounting screws supplied in the marked locations on the wall, leaving a space of about ¼ inch (6 mm) between the wall and screw head.
If you are mounting the InsightHome on concrete, the supplied anchors and mounting screws are not suitable. Use two mounting screws that are equivalent to #6 screws.
Place the InsightHome on the mounting screws, and confirm a snug fit.
Note: Before placing the InsightHome, you may want to take a photograph of the label on the back, as it includes important password information.

Connecting the InsightHome to the Xanbus Network

Connect the InsightHome to the Xanbus network using daisy chain configuration.
Xanbus components can be arranged in any order.
The InsightHome must be one end of the network. Do not connect two end devices together to form a closed loop configuration. See illustration in the next column.

NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Do not connect a Xanbus cable plug into the Ethernet port on the InsightHome.
Connect only to Xanbus ports and use a network terminator on the end device in the daisy chain.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Turning the InsightHome On (or Off)

Before turning on the InsightHome, you must connect it to a power source – either:

by using an (A) AC/DC adapter (see Material List for specifications)
by connecting it to a (B) Xanbus network

WARNING
UNINTENDED OPERATION HAZARD
Xanbus is a valid power source for the InsightHome, however, if you use Xanbus for the first time set-up the InsightHome clock will override the other Xanbus devices’ clocks and could trigger unintentional time-based events, such as a generator starting.
Ensure that you set the InsightHome clock and time zone before performing any other commissioning steps, refer to the Owner’s Guide for instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Select a power source (A)or (B).
Connect (A) or (B)’s connector to InsightHome’s Power port for (A) or Xanbus port for (B), respectively.
Connect (A)’s power plug to an AC wall outlet or (B)’s other Xanbus cable connector to a Xanbus port on a Xanbus device.
Observe the LED indicator and wait for the LED to light up solid green. The InsightHome is now turned on.
Proceed to Logging in to the InsightHome Web Application.
Press the Power button to shut down the unit and turn it off.
