Page 2

Appendix: Using the Pair Button (Setting up a private network)

To set up a private network :

1.Press the pair button on adapter A for 1 second and the Power LED will begin ￿ashing. If pressed till all the LEDs turn o￿ (about 10 seconds), the adapter will leave the network.

2.Within 2 minutes, press the pair button on adapter B for 1 second and the Power LED will begin ￿ashing as well.

3.In about 60 seconds you’ll see the Powerline LEDs on both adapters light up, indicating the two adapters have intercommunicated with each other successfully.

*It is highly recommended to ￿rst set up the two adapters in the same room or on the same power strip and then place them in a suitable location.

To join an existing private network:

If you want to add adapter C to the existing private network, please follow the steps.

1.Press the pair button on the adapter A or B for 1 second (do not press both), and the Power LED will begin ￿ashing.

2.Within 2 minutes press the pair button on adapter C for 1 second, the Powerline LED on the adapter C will light up in about 60 seconds.

*You can follow the steps above to add more adapters to the private network one by one.

Q1. I have followed the above instructions but my dapters are still not working. What can I do?

1.Make sure all the adapters are under the same electric meter.

2.If the Power LED does not light up at all, there may be a hardware problem.

3.The PLC devices might not communicate with each other if they are in di￿erent phrases of a four-wire three-phase circuit.

4.As some power strips have surge protector, please make sure the adapters are not separated by the power strips.

Q2. The adapters were working ￿ne but no longer work now that they've been moved. How do I make them work again?

Plug the adapters into the same power strip and follow Appendix: Using the Pair Button to pair them. If they still don’t work, please check for possible interference causes:

1.Air-conditioners, washing machines, and other similar household appliances are working too close to the adapters.

2.Air switch may lead to failed communication among PLC devices; check whether there are air switches hindering communication.
