2ALEPT0006623LoRaWAN IoT AC Outlet for indoor use

2020 TEKTELIC Communications Inc. v1.2 1/2 T0006623 SMART AC OUTLET USER GUIDE DESCRIPTION The Smart AC Outlet has the form factor of a standard NEMA 5-15R Decorator style duplex tamper-resistant receptacle but incorporates a LoRa radio with power control and monitoring circuitry which allows for the following remote user features:  Power on-off control and status  Measurement of consumed energy (kWh), line voltage (Vrms), load current (Arms), load power (real, reactive, and apparent, W), line frequency (Hz), and load power factor. Note that only the lower receptacle is controlled and monitored, the top receptacle is always live when line power is connected to the module and any connected load does not contribute to the energy monitoring. The Smart AC Outlet also has a momentary contact push-button switch located on the faceplate for local user on-off control of the controlled receptacle as well as an LED for local status indication.

IEEE C62.41 Category A Air Interface LoRa US915 (902 - 928 MHz) Class C Approvals UL pending FCC Pt. 15, RSS-247, FCC Pt. 27 pending WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS  TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER at the circuit breaker or fuse panel before wiring the module!  If you are unsure or uncomfortable with installation of this module, consult an electrician.  To be installed in a standard electrical box and used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.  To be installed with copper or copper clad wires only.  Exercise caution when powering loads from the LoRa radio- controlled receptacle. Loads connected to this receptacle may be automatically powered on by a timer or by a remote user. Such unexpected operation may present a hazardous condition for local personnel.  This product shall not be used with medical and/or life support equipment. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Locate the electrical box into which the Smart AC Outlet will be installed. 2. Remove power to the wiring by turning off circuit power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel. 3. Test the existing wiring to ensure that power has been removed. 4. Inspect the electrical box, a box depth of at least 2” is required. The electrical box may be metal or plastic but a plastic box will result in the best all-around RF performance. 5. Identify the appropriate wiring diagram for your installation situation. 6. Strip wire insulation back 5/8” (16 mm) and maintain a straight conductor for each of the wires to be terminated to the receptacle module. 7. Connect the wires to the module in accordance with the wiring diagram by inserting the bare wire fully into the wire hole for each of the Line (Hot), Load, and Ground terminals on the receptacle module. 8. Once the module is fully wired, push the wiring and the module into the electrical box, secure the module with the two mounting ear screws, and install the trim plate with the two trim plate screws. Always use a plastic faceplate for best RF reception. 9. Reapply power to the circuit. The module faceplate LED will now begin to flash indicating connection to a LoRa network is underway. 10. Connect a load and test using the local on-off button on the receptacle faceplate. 11. Commission the module on the appropriate LoRa network. OPERATION REMOTE OPERATION The top receptacle is always on and does not contribute to load energy metering. Only the bottom receptacle is on-off controllable through the LoRa radio network. By default, the bottom receptacle will be off after AC power to the module is restored, although this logic can be changed through the LoRa remote interface. Measurement of energy supplied by the bottom receptacle as well as other real-time parametric information including line voltage, load current, load power (real, reactive, and apparent), and load power factor is available through the LoRa radio network. Please refer to the TEKTELIC Communications AC Sensors Technical Reference Manual (TRM) for details regarding the LoRa network interface. LOCAL OPERATION The bottom, controlled receptacle can be toggled on-off by pressing momentarily the faceplate control button. By default, this load status change will be reported over the LoRa network. The module faceplate has an LED indicator which can be interpreted according to the following default logic: Note that this logic may be changed through the LoRa remote interface.
