1. This is the largest amount of power that can be extracted from a single phase in a household so connecting a standard appliance or even many of them to an Asema S3 is safe Note however the maximum limit when connecting non standard or industrial equipment Do not exceed the 230V 16A limit Failing to do so will cause overheating which will eventually break the device Asema S3 has a safety fuse which will cut of power in case of overloading An overloaded Asema S3 can only be repaired by an authorized repair shop Installation 3 10 ASEMA 2 Pairing and communicating with Asema E In order for the Asema E to communicate with the Asema controllers they need to be paired first After pairing the Asema E can send ON OFF messages to the controllers and read real time information on the electricity use Pairing can be done either using the device or in the WebView 2 1 Detecting pairing and naming controllers on the device 1 On the Asema E go to Main Setup gt Appliances gt Appliances 2 Click Detect The Asema E will now scan all Asema controllers which are not yet paired and list them on the screen This can take a few seconds 3 The result will be list of controllers looking like this lt Controls Appliances 0000 0000 0000 1003 1002 1001 a The controllers don t have a name yet just a code on the top which corresponds with the sticker that you received with your controller To distinguish which2. ensure safety of human health and environment RoHS compliance This product is in compliance with Directive 2002 95 EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment ROHS and its amendments For full compliance statements please visit www asema com Recycling 10 10
