Introduction

The Energy Meter is a Z-Wave Electricity Power reader designed to be used with a digital watt hour meter supporting LED pulse output port. The E-meter reads the LED pulse from the watt hour meter and transmits the data to a Z-Wave network coordinator.

The Energy Meter is a Z-Wave enabled device and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave enabled network.

Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol that uses a low-power RF radio. By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be routed to their destination via intermediary “listening” Z-Wave products.

Parts Identification

1. LED indicator

The LED indicator lights up in the following conditions:

  • Flashes once: The Energy Meter is transmitting a signal.

  • Flashes twice: The Energy Meter is successfully added into a Z-Wave network.

2. Mounting Holes

3. Battery compartment Cover

Remove the cover to insert 2 Alkaline AA 1.5V batteries to power up the Energy Meter.

4. LED Sensor Jack

Plug the Sensor into this jack to receive LED signal from the watt hour meter.

5. Function Button

  • Press the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to send a learn code.

  • Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to factory reset.

6. LED Sensor

Attach the LED sensor to the watt hour meter, and plug into the LED sensor Jack on the E-Meter to read data from the watt hour meter.

Features

Battery and Low Battery Detection

The Energy Meter uses 2 Alkaline 1.5V batteries as its power source. It features Low Battery Detection: when the battery voltage is low, the Energy Meter will transmit a Low Battery signal to notify the Z-Wave network coordinator.

The Energy Meter reports its battery percentage to the Control Panel at 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. If the battery voltage is low (25%), a Low Battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel.

When changing battery, after removing the old batteries, press the function button a couple times to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.

Adding Device (Inclusion)

This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability.

1

Prepare

  • Insert batteries to power on the E-meter.

  • Put the Z-Wave control panel into Inclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave control panel manual).

2

Include

  • Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times.

  • Refer to operation manual of the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel to complete the adding process.

3

Troubleshooting

If the device has already been included into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the device is unable to be added into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, try removing it first (see Removing Device).

Removing Device (Exclusion)

The device must be removed from an existing Z-Wave network before being added into another.

Exclusion Mode

  • Put the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave or control panel manual).

  • Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times — the device will be removed from the Z-Wave network.

Factory Reset

Factory resetting the device will restore it to factory default settings (i.e., not included into any Z-Wave network). Only use this if the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel is lost or otherwise inoperable.

  • Press and hold the Function Button of the device for 10 seconds to factory reset.

Operation

Installation

Watt Hour Meter connection

A washer with double-side adhesive tape is provided to connect the LED sensor to the watt hour meter.

  1. Locate the LED pulse output port on the watt hour meter, remove the double-side adhesive tape cover on the washer and apply the washer around the LED port.

  1. The LED sensor head has a built-in magnet. Apply the LED sensor head to the washer to attach the sensor to LED port for reading LED pulse from watt hour meter.

Wall Mounting

The Energy Meter has two mounting holes on the back for wall mounting.

1

Mark the mounting location on the wall according to the mounting hole position.

2

Install two screws at the mounting location.

3

Hook the Energy Meter onto the screws.

Energy Consumption Monitor

  • The Energy Meter reads LED pulse from the watt hour meter to monitor energy consumption.

  • The Energy Meter will transmit current wattage every 5 minutes to the Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.

  • The Energy Meter transmits power data to the coordinator whenever accumulated power usage increases by 1 kW·hr.

To clear the Energy Meter of its accumulated power consumption data:

1

Remove the batteries to power down.

2

Press and hold the function button and reinsert batteries while still holding the button.

3

Keep holding the button and release after 3 seconds. The accumulated power consumption data will be cleared.
