Installation and Commissioning Manual

Energy Conservation for Solfolket​

Enkey's delivery includes:

  • Gateway
  • HAN port meter
  • Relay
  • Climate sensor
  • Temperature sensor
  • Electricity meter

All material delivered by Enkey is pre-configured and connects automatically to the gateway upon power-up. All components have a unique ID to ensure you do not confuse their placement!

Enkey Gateway​

  • The gateway is powered from a Schuko wall outlet.
  • The gateway is network-connected with an RJ45 patch cable.
  • The gateway is preferably mounted on a wall using the included wall bracket.
  • The antenna on the gateway should be positioned VERTICALLY for optimal radio conditions.
  • If necessary, a longer antenna is included, depending on the distance to the various devices.
  • The gateway must always be commissioned first!

Internet Connection​

  • The gateway is network-connected to the internet, if applicable via Propeye 4G router or built-in 4G connection.
  • If the LAN port in Propeye's 4G router is occupied, a switch and additional patch cables may be needed.

HAN Port Meter​

  • The HAN port meter is connected with an RJ12 cable to the subscription meter.
  • If the HAN port is occupied, a splitter may be needed.
  • The HAN port meter receives its power from the subscription meter.
  • Mount the device VERTICALLY for optimal radio conditions.

Relay​

  • The relay is powered with 230V according to a separate drawing.
  • Potential-free relay contacts are connected to the heat pump according to a separate drawing.
  • The relay is installed in a standard enclosure if it does not fit in the heat pump.
  • When the relay is mounted in the heat pump, or if the relay and gateway are in different rooms or buildings, a separate antenna should be used.
  • Mount the antenna VERTICALLY for optimal radio conditions.

Operation:

  • LoRaWAN should light up with a steady green light.
  • Red push buttons operate the relay outputs, Channel 1 controls RLY1, Channel 2 controls RLY2.
  • Each press gives Manual OFF → Manual ON → Remote control (auto mode).

Climate Sensor​

Activation / Deactivation​

  • ON: Magnet on the label "ILS”/gears for >1 s until the green LED lights up.
  • OFF: Magnet on the label "ILS”/gears for >5 s until the LED goes out.

Temperature Sensor​

  • The temperature sensor is used for hot water, supply air, exhaust air, etc.
  • Different sensor types are used depending on the technical solution.
  • The cable from the sensor is connected as shown in the image:

Electricity Meter​

  • The electricity meter is connected to the power supply of the heat pump.
  • Installation takes place in the electrical panel, heat pump, or standard enclosure depending on local conditions.
  • An external antenna is used for longer distances and is mounted VERTICALLY for optimal radio conditions.
  • Check that the external antenna is activated in the menu!

Configuration of Heat Pump/Electric Boiler​

  • The heat pump and/or electric boiler to be controlled by the relay must be configured according to the supplier's instructions.
  • Enkey provides drawings and manuals as needed.
  • Contact Enkey during configuration so that a correct SAT test can be conducted.

Application Examples​

During high electricity prices, the heat pump and supplementary heating are blocked. The temperature sensor can interrupt the blockage if necessary. Electricity measurement is used for optimization and savings calculation.

Preparatory Work Before Installation​

  • The HAN port must be activated.
  • Have the activation magnet available for possible activation of wireless sensors.
  • Check that all material has been delivered.
  • Ensure that the required enclosures and installation materials are available.

Installation and Commissioning Procedure​

  1. Install the Gateway
  2. Power up the Gateway and check the indicators: POWER, STATUS, LoRa, WiFi, ETH, LTE
    • If the Gateway is connected to LAN, ETH should light up.
    • If the Gateway is equipped with a SIM card, LTE should light up.
  3. Mount and power up, and if applicable, activate other devices.
  4. Contact Enkey for verification and functional testing to ensure a correct SAT is conducted.
