Device Operations

1. Passive switch (dry contact): passive contact signal, with two states (off/on), no polarity between the two contacts, such as various types of switches, buttons, etc.

2. Active switches (wet contact, DC5-12V): signals with voltage (high/low level, pulse), with two states (power/no power), polarity between the two contacts, such as liquid level detection, smoke detection, PLC output, infrared detection, flow detection, etc.

3. Relay Output Wiring

4. Low load wiring: Non-resistive load current less than 3A or resistive load less than 5A.

5. AC 220V load wiring: external load is AC 220V power supply.

6. AC 380V (with null line) Load wiring: The external load is AC 380V with null line.

If necessary, insert an AC contactor/intermediate relay between the product and the external load.

DEVICE SETUP OPTIONS

Option 1: Using Mobile App
Download the App from www.ubibot.com/setup, or search for ‘Ubibot’ on the AppStore or Google Play.

We recommend you try to use the PC Tools in case the App setup fails, because the failure may be due to mobile phone incompatibility. The PC Tools is much easier to operate and suitable for both Mac and Windows.

Option 2: Using PC Tools
Download the tool from www.ubibot.com/setup.
This tool is a desktop app for device setup. It is also helpful in checking setup failure reasons, MAC address, and offline charts. You can also use it to export offline data stored in the device internal memory.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR WiFi CONNECTION

Launch the App and log in. On the home page, tap “+” to start adding your device. Then please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup. You can also view the demonstration video at www.ubibot.com/-setup for step by step guidance.

Via our app and web console (http://console.ubibot.com), you are able to view the readings as well as config-ure your device, such as create alert rules, set data syncinterval, etc. You can find and watch the demonstration videos at www.ubibot.com/setup.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTION

• STEP 1. Connect the device with power supply and plug the Ethernet cable.
• STEP 2. Launch the app and log in. On the home page, tap “+” to start adding your device. Then please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup. You can also view the demonstration video at www.ubibot.com/setup for step by step guidance.

SETUP USING PC TOOLS

• STEP 1. Launch the App and log in. With the device switched on, use the Type-C USB cable provided to connect your device to the computer. The PC Tools will automatically scan and recognize the product ID and enter the device page.
• STEP 2. Click “Network” on the left menu bar. There, you are able to set up the device on WiFi for all the models. For the SIM or Ethernet cable setup, please click on the corresponding button to continue.

RS485 COMMUNICATION

The default mode is the RS485 communication slave mode. If the external sensor collection time is set in the platform, the master mode for data collection will be activated and the slave mode will be turned off automati-cally. If the device has been networked, the setting parameters are set by the platform.
For more details, please contact your local distributor or refer to the online documentation.

DEVICE USE

Working Mode

1. Online control mode: you can remotely control relay operations through the UbiBot cloud platform, including opening/closing the relay, the overall synchronization or independent single-point control, timing and cycle setup, delaying tasks or defining trigger conditions through early warning rules and automation control.
2. Pules on/off mode: Pulse ON, i.e., when the relay is in closed state, the relay can be set to disconnect for a period of time (set parameter0.1s) and then close automatically. Pulse OFF, i.e., when the relay is in discon-nected state, the relay can be set to close for a period of time (set parameter0.1s) and then disconnect automatically.
3. Local linkage mode: The device has 4 optocoupler inputs, which can be directly linked with the relay. It means that when the optocoupler input signal is effective, the corresponding relay will absorb/disconnect/no action; when the optocoupler input signal is canceled, the corresponding relay will disconnect/absorb/no action. The corresponding relationship between the optocoupler input and the relay’s absorption/disconnec-tion/non-activation can be set through the PC tools or the UbiBot platform.
4. Offline control mode: The NR1 device supports the Modbus RTU protocol, allowing for offline control of 4-channel relays through an RS485 connection to a computer.
5. Safety interlock mode: The device supports safety interlock setting. if any of the relays set for safety interlocking is turned on, the other relays will be turned off.

FAQ

1. Device network configuration failure reasons

2. Please check if the WiFi account password is correct;

3. Please check whether the router is working properly and the network connection is normal;

4. Please make sure the device has entered the WiFi configuration mode;

5. Please check whether the WiFi band is 2.4GHz and the channel is between 1~13;

6. Please check the WiFi channel width is set to 20MHz or auto mode;

7. WiFi security type: NR1 supports OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2-personal;

11. whether the network cable is intact;

12. whether the connected network can access the Internet;
    If the above points are not abnormal, and you still cannot activate the device, you need to check whether the network environment allows DHCP (automatic IP allocation) devices to access the network; or re-scan the device QR code, select Ethernet access (advanced mode), and follow the APP prompts to manually assign IP to the device.

13. Reasons for failure to send device data
    Check whether the router is working properly.

14. Can the device be used in a network-free environment?
    The device can still work without network, and can be controlled in real time through the switch input or RS485 interface.
