Installation of the Envi.Base

The step-by-step guide below assumes delivery of a standalone Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. in a box. However, the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. can also be delivered pre-mounted in an installation cabinet. View the available options at Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. in installation cabinet.

Preparation​

Before installation, verify that all required components are present and undamaged. The included and optional components can be found at Contents of box.

Required tools​

  • Torx T10 screwdriver – for the mounting screws
  • 5 mm masonry drill bit – for the included concrete anchors
  • Phillips PZ2 screwdriver – for securing DIN rail clamps
  • Marking tool

Mounting the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting.​

The Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. must be installed in a clean and dry environment. If this is not possible, the controller must be mounted in a suitable enclosure. Envitron optionally supplies the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. in an IP65 installation cabinet, suitable for harsh or humid environments.

Mounting options​

Mounting on a wooden or concrete wall​

The Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. has two keyhole slots on the back into which 3 mm screws can be hooked (included). The cardboard inlay in the packaging contains a 2D drawing showing the exact positions of these screw holes.

Wooden wall​

The two included Torx screws can be driven directly into the wood using a T10 screwdriver. Make sure the screws are inserted straight and leave approximately 4 mm of thread visible. The Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. can now be hung over the screws.

Concrete wall​

Using a 5 mm masonry drill bit, drill two holes approximately 30 mm deep and insert the included 5×25 mm concrete anchors. Push the anchors flush with the wall (using a hammer if necessary), then drive in the Torx T10 screws and leave approximately 4 mm of thread visible. Hang the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. over the screws.

Connecting the power supply​

Connect the power adapter to the DC connector of the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. and plug the adapter into a power outlet. The LED ring lights up as soon as the device receives power.

When installing the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. in control cabinets, it may be desirable to connect the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. directly to a DC power supply instead of a power outlet. For this purpose, Envitron optionally offers a power converter with a separate DC cable.

Ensure that the power supply remains within the voltage range of 12–24 V DC. For the DC connection cable optionally supplied by Envitron, blue is (−) and brown is (+).

Network connection​

The Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. uses a mobile data connection by default via the integrated 4G modem with SIM card. In environments with limited network coverage, an external antenna can be connected for better reception. Envitron supplies this optionally. See the optional accessories at Contents of box.

See Network connection for a detailed explanation of the network connection and configuration.

Connecting devices​

Connect the desired devices to the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting.. At connecting devices each communication interface is explained in detail regarding how devices should be connected to the Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting..

warning

The manual of the device in question always takes precedence.

Supported communication protocols​

  • Pulse (I/O)
  • Modbus RTU (RS485)
  • Modbus TCP/IP (Ethernet)
  • M-Bus
  • P1 port of smart meters
  • MQTT
  • BACnet
  • IEC 60870-5-104 (IEC 104)

The Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting. supports all types of pulse meters and P1 meters by default. For other protocols, such as Modbus and M-Bus, it is important that the device in question is supported in the firmwarefirmware Software die op de Envi.Base draait, inclusief drivers en regelingen. library. Every brand and type of device requires its own driverdriver Softwarecomponent die beschrijft hoe een apparaat werkt en communiceert, inclusief beschikbare data en commando’s. to read the registers correctly. Envitron continuously expands this firmwarefirmware Software die op de Envi.Base draait, inclusief drivers en regelingen. library with new devices. Check in advance at supported devices whether the desired device is already supported.

warning

When the connection needs to be monitored for contracted capacity or fuse rating, it is essential that the meter and the devices to be controlled are connected to the same Envi.Baseenvi.base De energiecontroller van Envitron die apparaten uitleest, aanstuurt en data opslaat achter de hoofdaansluiting..
