Used in this guide.
- Note that clamp and cap configuration is different per region.
Warning:
Risk of electrical shock. The main circuit breaker or fuse must be shut off
during installation. Only a licensed electrician with knowledge and
understanding of electrical systems and safety should complete the
installation.
Important safety information.
Please read this and the online guide(s) at support.aeotec.com/hemgen5 carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations set forth by Aeotec Limited may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or reseller will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following any instructions in this guide or in other materials.
Only a licensed electrician with knowledge and understanding of electrical
systems and safety should complete the installation.
Home Energy Meter Gen5’s current per clamp can not exceed 60, 100 or 200 amps
based on the version you have. Refer to the product’s label or packaging for
specific amperage information.
It is highly recommended that Home Energy Meter Gen5 be installed either
indoors or in a sheltered location. It is, however, IP44 rated and can
be installed accordingly.
Quick start.
Select your installation configuration from the following diagrams and then
follow the numeric steps to install and connect Home Energy Meter Gen5.
In 230 volt countries with a 3 phase and 3 wire installation;
In 230 volt countries with a 3 phases and 4 wire installation;
The following will step you through installing Home Energy Meter Gen5 and connecting it to your Z-Wave ™ network.
- Shut off the main electrical breaker and open the main circuit box.
- Plug the connectors from the clamps into the main body of HEM and rotate the caps anti-clockwise to tighten and secure the connection between clamps and the main body.
- Unlock the clamps, then place the clamps over the correct phase lines on your power distributor, and then lock the clamps
- If your HEM has a plug, plug it directly into an outlet and skip to step
- If your HEM requires wiring, follow steps 5 and 6.
- Insert neutral AC Cable into the main circuit breaker’s neutral bus terminal.
- Insert live AC Cable into the main circuit breaker’s live terminal. Ensure that you insert the AC Cables into the correct phase lines for accurate readings (i.e. Voltage wire 1 on Phase A).
- Close the main circuit box.
- Turn the main breaker back on.
Optimally fixing the main body.
It is now time to fix HEM’s main body onto a surface. Within each meter, there
is a low-frequency radio antenna for wireless communication. As
such, thick concrete walls, metals, or motor devices can negatively impact the
wireless performance of HEM and should be avoided.
It is recommended to have the main body installed outside of the circuit box
if the home’s circuit box is made of a metal, since placing the meter
inside a metal circuit box could degrade the quality of the radio signal and
negatively impact its wireless range. As such, HEM’s main body is weatherised
to the IP44 standard making it resistant to rain and snow when installed
vertically.
-
Remove Back-Mount Plate from the main body.
-
Fix Back-Mount Plate to the selected position with the provided screws.
The plate should be installed vertically to make sure the connected cables naturally hanging and to fully ensure that the IP44 weatherized rating applies. -
Set your Z-Wave gateway into its ‘add device’ mode in order to connect Home Energy Meter Gen5 to your Z-Wave system. Refer to the gateway’s manual if you are unsure of how to perform this step.
-
Press Action Button on the back of the main body; its LED will flash red rapidly to indicate it has entered pair mode.
-
When Home Energy Meter Gen5 successfully joins your Z-Wave network its LED will flash red for several seconds and then turn solid red. Should the LED keep blinking red, it has been unable to join your
Z-Wave network; repeat the above steps and please contact us for further support if needed. -
Attach the main body to Back-Mount Plate.
Home Energy Meter Gen5 is now a part of your Z-Wave automation system. You can configure it and its automation via your software’s interface; please refer to the software’s user guide for precise instructions.
