Installation guide: Gateway

Kiona's gateway is a collecting unit for wM-Bus sensors. This article provides information on how to install and register it.

Prerequisites

• Be qualified to carry out electrical installations.
• Have a personal Kiona-account from the building owner or from Kiona's Technical Support.
• Carry and use measuring equipment for control measurement of resistance, voltage and polarity.

Contents

• HUB
• Small black antenna
• 24VDC transformer
• Kiona junction box
• Kiona info stickers with QR-code

Preparation

Some things to think about before you start:

• Place according to information from Kiona project manager.
• Constant power supply required.
• Avoid mounting on metal surfaces, as it can disturb the signal.
• The casing is weather protected which enables you to place it outdoors.
• Strive to mount it where risk for sabotage is minimal.
• If mounted indoors, it’s OK to mount it upside down.

Installation

• Once the correct placement has been found, the following points should be followed:
  • Mount the gateway.
  • Confirm +24VDC polarity/voltage before powering the gateway.
  • When the Gateway is powered, a red light will flash on the bottom, when the light flashes green, it is OK to start the registration process.
• Capture both close-up and distant photos of the installed gateway:
  • Close-up photos for quality assurance of the mounting.
  • Distant photos for easy identification in case of future troubleshooting.

NOTE!

Before a new device is connected to the power supply, voltage and polarity MUST be measured to +24VDC, this is checked on the terminals where the unit's red + black cable is supposed to be connected.

Otherwise, Hub/GW risks breaking down and we will have to bill for a new unit.

If Kiona's junction box is used, control measurement is made on the P2 terminal block (see below).
