Installation

Position

Respect a minimum distance of 2 m from other RF transmitters (for example Wi-Fi devices) or devices such as motors, pumps, electronic LED transformers, solar panel inverters, home battery storage.
Avoid installing the wireless bridge on a metal surface
Do not cover the product
Mount the wireless bridge outside of the (metal) electrical cabinet
Do not use with a USB extension cable

Mount the wireless bridge to the wall next to the cabinet
Use the drilling template located in the package to mark the drilling holes
Insert the USB cable in the cabinet
- Coil up the excess cable
- All cable inserts in the electrical cabinet need to be sealed off. The method to close off the cable entries is defined by national installation rules
Plug the wireless bridge into one of the free USB ports of the connected controller (550-00003)
Due to safety reasons, you should not remove/insert the USB cable while the connected controller is powered.
Fix the USB cable in the cabinet with the tie wrap (included)
This step is needed to avoid accidental unplugging of the wireless bridge from the connected controller.
Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm between the 230 V cabling and the wireless bridge’s USB cable.
Connect your digital meter’s P1 port to the wireless bridge (optional only for Belgium and the Netherlands)
- Insert one end of the cable into the P1 port (not the S1 port!)
- Insert the other end of the cable into the wireless bridge
  Only use the shielded RJ12 cable included in the package (optional only for Belgium and the Netherlands)
- Contact your electricity network operator to activate the P1 port on your digital meter
- If your Niko Home Control installation includes a global energy measuring channel, it will be overridden when connecting the wireless bridge to the digital meter
