Installation 1 1 Locating the power meter Asema M1 reads power data from your utility electricity meter using the blinking LED light on the meter Please note that the device is compatible only with modern electricity meters that have an LED indicator Asema M1 cannot read rotating disks Note also that Asema M1 is designed to be used with electricity meters you have access to and are located inside your home If you live in an apartment building some of them have electricity meters located inside the apartment However if the meter is located in a basement the Asema M1 is not the right product for you If you do not know the location of your electricity meter please contact the customer support of your utility company 1 2 Attaching the LED head The Asema M1 is attached to the power meter by placing the LED head on top of the blinking LED of the power meter Typically the space has a round border around the LED that fits the shape of the LED head and assists in placing the head to the correct location If your meter does not have this border make sure that the hole on the LED head will be placed directly above the LED Locate the LED light of the power meter and detach one half of the velcro sticker on the Asema M1 LED head Glue this part on the LED so that the LED blinking is clearly visible through the hole of the sticker Then place the LED head on the sticker 1 3 Connecting to mains power Asema M1 comes with a standard 10
3. e Cannot pair a meter Pairing a meter requires a good radio connection between the meter and Asema E Make sure you have no interfering elements between the devices and the distance between them is sort enough For troubleshooting purposes you may want to move your Asema E closer to the meter to see how distance affects the radio connection Troubleshooting 5 6 ASEMA Recycling At the end of its serviceable life this product should not be treated as household or general waste It should be handed over to the applicable collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the supplier for disposal You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources Moreover proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will 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 6 6

A Schuko mains cable Simply plug this into a wall socket to connect power to the unit Installation 2 6 ASEMA 2 Pairing and communicating with Asema In order for the Asema E to communicate with the Asema M series meters they need to be paired first After pairing the Asema E can receive power measurement data in an encrypted format for maximum privacy and security Pairing can be done either using the touchscreen of the Asema E or in the WebView 2 1 Pairing the meter To pair the meter with Asema E first enter the Main setup Then proceed as follows 1 At the main setup go to Appliances gt Central Meter 2 Click Detect The Asema E will now scan all compatible meters which are not yet paired This can take a few seconds Once a meter is found you will be prompted to accept it 3 Once you have accepted the meter a form will appear showing its details with default fields prefilled Edit the values as appropriate or simply leave the default values 4 You re done Once you leave the form pairing will take place automatically and your settings are stored 2 2 Test reading with radio quality measurement To make sure your Asema M series meter works without problems it is recommended to take a test reading from it Enter the Central Meter menu in the Main Setup and press the Test button This will attempt to read the current measured value from the meter You will be shown the radio quality statistics as well
5. about this to an Asema E It will therefore result in a ghost meter on the Asema E that can no longer be reached You can however remove it from the Advanced settings of the meter on Asema E Please refer to Asema E manual for more information The manual reset is needed if you have lost pairing data on your Asema E due to replaced equip ment accidental deletion or other similar reason To perform the manual reset you must have the meter connected to mains power Then simply press the reset button You can find the reset button as follows e On an Asema MI the reset button is the transparent button with blinking red LED light e On an Asema M2 the reset button is the gray button in front marked with RESET Mesh networking Mesh networking means that Asema controllers and meters with a radio can relay messages auto matically between them and this way extend the range of communication or go around obstacles Thus they work automatically as repeaters of messages for each other Asema S series controllers and Asema M series meters will automatically form a mesh network when they detect each other Mesh networking is automatic you do not have to do anything to enable mesh networking the devices will do this automatically However you may benefit from knowing the topology of the mesh network as placing a controller between the Asema E and an Asema M meter that have trouble communicating with each other may improve the situation To get mos
6. as whether the test reading was successful If the test fails 1 Ensure that the Asema M meter is still connected to the mains power and within radio range 2 Observe the radio quality statistics If the signal quality is under 20 or packet loss is excessive over 30 you are likely to have trouble operating the unit 2 3 Removing the meter If you want to remove the Asema M meter from the system proceed as follows 1 Enter the Central Meter setup either on Asema E touchscreen or in the WebView 2 Click tap on the Delete button to start the unpairing process 3 Wait until the process is done and you get a confirmation You re done removing the meter If for some reason the unpairing process fails despite retrying it a couple of times you can still remove the meter Click tap on the Advanced button read the warning concerning resetting the meter and use the delete function here to remove the meter without resetting it Note that you will need to manually reset the meter to be able to pair it again See for Section 2 4 Resetting the meter details Pairing and communicating with Asema E ASEMA 2 4 2 5 Resetting the meter Each Asema M series device has a dedicated reset button for removing pairing data from the meter itself manually You should always try to reset the meter from the Asema E first before doing a manual reset A manual reset will simply remove the pairing from the meter without telling
7. t out of mesh networking test the connection to the meter with the Test button If you get poor radio coverage high packet loss or low radio quality this means that the radio is suffering from disturbance due to distance or obstacles Placing a controller in a location that is between the two devices possibly so that it allows to bypass an obstacle will improve your installation Pairing and communicating with Asema E 4 6 ASEMA 3 Troubleshooting This section lists a few common problems you may encounter into while using your Asema M meter and common remedies to them For a more complete list of howto s and up to date answers to problems visit the FAQ section on our support website at support asema com e Cannot detect the meter If a meter cannot be found when you try to pair it the problem can be the cause of four basic reasons 1 the meter is not connected to mains power 2 the radio reception is poor 3 the meter is already paired or 4 the meter is broken First make sure the meter is properly connected to mains power The ensure there are no inter fering obstacles between the meter and an Asema E and the distance between the two does not exceed 30 meters Check that the meter is not already paired A paired meter no longer sends a beacon and cannot therefore be detected To have the meter send beacon again reset it either from the Asema E in case of a meter paired to that Asema E or from the reset button
