Installation and connection
e
Pay attention to the markings on the device
when connecting current converters and voltage
measurement leads. You will find a video for sin-

Establishing a connection to the
device
To use the energy manager via the Web Application,
your device (PC, tablet or smartphone) and the en-
ergy manager must be in the home network (via WiFi,
PLC or Ethernet connection).
All the functions of the Web Application can be used
via the internet connection of the home network. The
network connection of the device via an Ethernet
cable is recommended. If there is no home network
available at the place of use, your device can log in to
the energy manager directly via its WiFi hotspot.
e
The Home Energy Manager operates exclusively
in the 2.4 GHz network (see g P. 68)
e
Select the connection type suitable for the pre-
vailing signal strength and availability.
Connecting the WiFi antenna
You can connect a WiFi antenna to boost the WiFi
signal.
1. Connect the WiFi antenna to the energy man-
ager via the plug-in/screw connections provided
for this purpose.
2. Secure the WiFi antenna to the outside of the
metal distribution cabinet by its magnetic base
(if the WiFi antenna is inside the metal distribu-
52
tion cabinet, it cannot receive a signal). Make
sure that the WiFi antenna is positioned cor-
rectly (e.g. at an angle of 90° to the router).
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.
To check the connection quality of the PLC network,
you can determine the PLC data transfer rate through
the domestic electrical system using software and
Ethernet PLC converters. For this purpose, connect
the converters to the mains supply at the installation
locations. Select the installation locations of the en-
ergy manager and the current consumers with PLC
functionality (such as the Porsche charger) as instal-
lation locations for this. The real data transfer rate
between the installation locations can be visually dis-
played using powerline software. Data transfer rates
of 9 Mbit or more are sufficient.
If electrical installations are not ideal, PLC commu-
nication may be impossible or so weak as to pre-
vent stable EEBus communication with the Porsche
charger.
e
In this case, select an alternative communica-
tions interface (Ethernet or WiFi).
