Chilicon Power_Gen5 Home Power Meter Installation of Home Power Meter The first step is to pair the HEM with the Gateway so that they can communicate with each other over the Z-Wave wireless network. It is easier to pair HEM with the Gateway BEFORE installing them in the circuit box or disconnect panels. This ensures they are in range of each other and that the wireless link is strong. Only Gen2 (DSB28-ZWUS) and Gen5 (AEOZW095-US) Aeotec Home Meter Energy are currently supported by the Gateway but we highly recommend to use the Gen5 version since it is more reliable and has better RF range. From the home screen, press the Menu button. On the Settings screen, press "Advanced Settings" and then "Measurement Setup" . The first step is to enable the Z-Wave communication hardware on the Gateway if that has not been done yet. For that, make sure the box in front of "Enable Z-Wave communication" is checked (a dot inside the box indicates it is checked). Below it will list the paired devices which at first will show that there are no devices paired yet. The next step is to add the HEM to the list of paired devices. Press the "Add" button and then press the button on the back of the HEM device once. If your meter has been successfully paired to your network, its light will remain solid. If the pairing was unsuccessful, the light will blink. If that is the case, try repeating the procedure again. Once the HEM is paired, you will be prompted to specify the number of clamps used (usually it will be 2) and whether the HEM is used for generation metering (PV array only) or consumption (net home metering or any home appliance).
After exiting that window, the new paired device should show up in the list of paired devices. Note each HEM is associated with an ID number.The next step is to finish the setup of the meter. Press the "Auto-Setup Meter" button in the bottom left. This will automatically setup the meter either as a NET METER or as a PV METER. A dialog box will prompt for that choice at the end of the setup. Note that most users will choose the NET METER option since that enables consumption monitoring while the PV array monitoring is accomplished by the microinverters themselves. The PV METER option is only in the case you have an additional meter setup solely for the purpose of measuring a generating solar array. This is redundant with the monitoring of Chilicon microinverters and would only be used to monitor another manufacturer's equipment. The next 3 sections are for advanced use only and are not part of a normal setup.
