Wired connections


DC Power and Battery Voltage Sensing

The eDGe uses 5-60V DC power. This can be provided in two ways:

  1.  Power from the battery being monitored, using the barrel jack to FlexiTap battery cable connectors (eCOMP-DCV). If you are powering the eDGe from the battery being monitored, then using the eCOM-DCV also acts as the battery voltage monitor
  2. External DC power source, for example using a barrel jack to 5V/9V/12V USB power cable. Note that 9V and above is preferable for most stable power connection. enee.io approved part
    eCOMP-PS-UK-12v
    Can be extended up to 3m using standard DC power extension cable with rating appropriate to battery or power supply voltage. enee.io approved part eCAB-002


AC current sensing

  1. With each eDGe you can use up to three CT AC current clamps, eCOMP-AC###/##
  2. Can be extended up to 3m using shielded 3-way audio extension cables, eCAB-005 

DC current sensing

  1. With each eDGe you can use one Hall Effect DC current clamp, eCOMP-DC500/16
  2. Can be extended up to 3m using shielded 4-way audio extension cable, eCAB-004

Wireless Connections

Bluetooth connection


  1. The eDGe automatically connects to any nearby enee.io Bluetooth-enabled sensors: eMB, eME-AC, eME-DC.

Installation

  1. Find the best location for the eDGe so that the sensors can reach the cables to be monitored and ideally close to a door or window for best cellular connectivity.
  2. Position the antenna pointing upwards
  3. With reference to diagrams for wired connections installation
    in this guide, plug the current clamp plugs into the eDGe. AC clamps can be clipped onto cables.
    Alert
    If monitoring DC, do not clip the DC current clamp onto a cable yet.
  4.  Conect the power to the eDGe
  5. Wait for it to finish starting up (mode light turns green)
  6. Follow the steps for provisioning the eDGe

Provisioning

The eDGe must be provisioned (set up) before it is used. 
  1. Ensure the eDGe is powered and the Mode light is green
  2. Press and hold the provisioning button for approximately 5 seconds until the Mode light changes Green > Yellow > Purple.
  3. To connect a mobile device to the eDGe whilst in Provision mode, go to WiFi networks on the mobile phone and connect to wifi network "enee.io Gateway Setup" and follow instructions that appear on the mobile phone screen.
    1. Note that during this process, the eDGe is also calibrating the zero level for the DC sensor, which is why it is important not to clip the DC clamp onto cable yet.
  4. The provisioning process is for:
    1. Choosing how the eDGe connects:
      1. Wi-Fi (Providing Wi-Fi network name and password if using Wi-Fi)
      2. Cellular (as standard the eDGe comes complete with an inbuilt global SIM and does not require any setup)
    2. Creating a secure connection to the enee.io system by entering your unique Organisation ID and Secret (these are found in Proteus web app > Settings > Organisation > Connection)
    3. Choosing which type of CT sensor is connected to which AC port. The choice must match the numbers printed on the CT sensors themselves and are:
      1. 100A:0.1A
      2. 400A:0.1A
      3. 600A:0.1A
      4. 1000A:0.1A
      5. no sensor connected
    4. Calibrating the DC current sensor, if used. This is done automatically by the device while in Provisioning mode, and the DC sensor must connected and be closed, but not be clipped around any wire while the device is in Provisioning mode.


AlertIt is very important that the DC current sensor is not clipped to a cable while provisioning is active to ensure the readings are correct 

Once the above steps have been followed and the eDGe has been set-up
  1. On the mobile phone save and exit the provisioning and wait for the eDGe to restart and go into gateway mode (green lights)
  2. Clip on the DC current clamp, if using

The eDGe will need to be configured to the appropriate site in the enee.io web app, Proteus. app.enee.io. Contact your system administrator for help

Troubleshooting, updating and testing

  1. If the eDGe does not automatically restart after step 7 (exit provisioning), switch the eDGe power off and on
  2. The eDGe has a number of internal methods to resolve faults after different time periods. Usually faults will be cleared automatically within a maximum of 24 hours. Users can switch the power off and on to force a restart and re-set of fault status
  3. For cellular connectivity faults try alternative positions in the room for better signal
  4. For Wi-Fi faults, check that the Wi-Fi network name and password are correct in the provisioning settings and that the Wi-Fi is functioning
  5. If data is not uploading to Proteus, check that the Organisation ID and Secret details are correct in the provisioning settings
  6. If data is not uploading to Proteus, check that the configuration details including eDGe MAC address are correct in Proteus
  7. The eDGe checks for a new firmware version every time it restarts. The eDGe restarts itself once every 24 hours, so if there is no-one at the site to restart the eDGe, it will do it itself within 24 hours. When updating, the Mode light and Reading light turn blue first while the firmware is being downloaded to the device. Then the Upload light turns blue while the firmware is being updated. The lights will turn back to green when the update is complete. If the update fails for any reason, the device will restart using the previous working version of firmware.
  8. After configuring the site in Proteus, press the trigger button on the eDGe to take readings and send them to Proteus. Allow up to 3 minutes for data to appear in Proteus
  9. Sensor readings can be exported from the eDGe in a log file if needed. To view the log files, put the eDGe into Provisioning mode, connect to the eDGe using a phone, tablet or laptop, then scroll to bottom of the provision page to "View logs".  Click on the files in the list to view the contents of the file.
