Connecting To The Device; Connecting The Wifi Antenna - Porsche 9Y0.915.686 Manual

Connecting the current and power measure-
ment
The current and voltage measurement channels are
connected via several plug connections. The required
plug connectors are included in the scope of supply
of the energy manager. If the current sensors or the
cable to the voltage measurement are not or are
incorrectly connected, substantial functional limita-
tions will result.
e
When connecting the current sensors and
cables to the voltage measurement, note
the device designation. A video describing
a single-phase installation can be found at
https://www.porsche.com/international/about-
porsche/e-performance/help-andcontact/

Connecting to the Device

To use the energy manager via the Web Application,
the end device (PC, tablet or smartphone) and the
energy manager should be connected in the domestic
network (via WiFi, PLC or Ethernet connection).
The Internet connection of the domestic network en-
ables you to use all the functions of the Web Applica-
tion. If there is no domestic network available at the
place of use, your end device can be used to log in
directly to the energy manager via its WiFi hotspot.
e
Depending on the signal strength and availability,
select the suitable connection type.
e
Information on the possibilities of the connection
can be found in the
g Porsche Home Energy Manager web applica-
tion
instructions.

Checking the signal quality of the PLC net-
work
Information
The software and Ethernet PLC converter described
in this section are not included in the scope of supply.
In order to check the connection quality of the PLC
network, the PLC transmission rate can be deter-
mined via the household electrics using software and
Ethernet PLC converters. For this purpose, the con-
verters are connected to the existing power grid at
the installation locations. Select the installation loca-
tion of the energy manager and of the electrical loads
with PLC functionality (such as the Porsche charger)
as installation locations. Using evaluation software,
the real transmission rate between the places of in-
stallation can be represented graphically. Transmis-
sion rates of 100 Mbit and above are sufficient.
Where electrical installations are unfavorable, PLC
communication may not be possible at all or may be
so weak that EEBus communication to the Porsche
charger is unstable.
e
In this case, select another communication inter-
face (Ethernet or WiFi).

Connecting the WiFi antenna

A WiFi antenna can be connected to boost the WiFi
signal.
1. Connect the WiFi antenna to the energy man-
ager via the plug/screw connection provided.
2. Secure the WiFi antenna using the magnetic
base to the outside of the metallic distributor
cabinet (if the WiFi antenna is inside the distrib-
utor cabinet, no reception is possible). Make sure
that the WiFi antenna is correctly aligned (e.g. at
a 90° angle to the router).
