EC-100 Energy Controller User Guide Supported Models • C4-EC100 Energy Controller • C4-EC100EXT Energy Controller with External Antenna Associated SKUs: • C4-EC100-BL — EC-100 Energy Controller, Black • C4-EC100-WH — EC-100 Energy Controller, White • C4-EC100EXT-BL – EC-100 Energy Controller with External Antenna, Black Introducing the EC-100 Energy Controller The EC-100 Energy Controller (EC-100) wirelessly connects to your home’s smart meter and gathers information about how much electricity you are using and how much that electricity use is costing you. With this information, you will be able to make smart choices about how and when to conserve electricity and save money. The EC-100 comes with a colorful touch screen on which you can view current and past data about your home’s energy use in a clean, graphical format. Beyond that, the EC-100 provides an easy way to program and control your WT-100 Wireless Thermostat (provided separately), check your weather forecast, review your power bills, view messages about utility-driven energy savings events, and more! Congratulations on receiving your new EC-100 Energy Controller! Key Features: • Empowers You With Information: The EC-100 wirelessly communicates with your home’s smart meter to gather information about your electricity use. The display lets you see your energy use over time with enough storage for up to five (5) years of data, and it shows you breakdowns of your electricity use by major categories such as heating, cooling, refrigerator, and pool. • Intuitive Color Touch Screen: The Energy Controller’s 4.7” capacitive touch screen puts your home’s energy management at your fingertips by allowing you to interact with the data from your smart meter. • Better Communication With Your Utility: Using smart meters, your utility can send you important messages regarding incentive programs, conservation requests during periods of high demand and changes in pricing. Working together, utilities and their customers can improve energy efficiency and lower costs. • Broadband-Connected (optional): The EC-100 connects to your home’s WiFi network to provide additional information including utility bills, messages from your utility company and your local weather forecast. By enabling the home area network- ing wireless network functionality, your utility can enable you to get better control over your electrical usage. • Easy Thermostat Programming and Control: The EC-100 makes it easy to program your WT-100 Wireless Thermostat (provided separately), turn your heat or air conditioner on or off, or change the temperature in your home. Also, you can easily set your wireless thermostat into a special energy-saving ‘Vacation’ mode when you leave town. All of this control allows you to reduce your electricity consumption. Ultimately, the EC-100 can become a gateway for controlling all your appliances to reduce the money spent on electricity. Battery Installation and Replacement Safety Rules • Use typical AA alkaline batteries only. • Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline and rechargeable NiMH batteries. • Do not mix used batteries with fresh batteries. • Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery is specifically marked “rechargeable.” • Never dispose of batteries in a fire. WARNING! To prevent a battery short, leakage or rupture: • Utilisez les accumulateurs alcalins typiques d’AA seulement. • Ne mélangez pas les types de batterie, tels que les batteries alkalines et rechargeables de NiMH. • Ne mélangez pas des batterie frais avec des batterie ancien. • N’essayez pas de recharger une batterie à moins que la batterie soit spécifiquement marqué « rechargeable ». • Ne vous débarassez jamais des batteries dans un feu. ATTENTION! Pour empêcher court-circuiter, fuite ou rupture de batterie: Battery Use and Care Tips • Keep the battery contacts and compartment clean. • Remove the batteries from the product if it is not going to be used for several months. • Extreme temperatures reduce battery performance. Avoid putting the EC-100 in very warm places. Terms Once the EC-100 has been completely set up per the EC-100 Energy Controller Setup Guide, the first screen to appear is the Main Menu. From this menu, you can access the following applications: Thermostat, My Energy, Utility Bills, Messages, Energy Events, Set- tings, Weather, and more. The Home Screen was designed to be “at-a-glance” useful and you can view all types of information about your home’s electricity use, current electricity cost, messages and energy events from the utility, current time, and current indoor temperature and weather (if available). This screen is the one most likely to be commonly displayed. Specific areas of the screen are selectable to enable you to navigate quickly into more details regarding available information. Note: The Home Screen layout can vary depending on the configu- ration supported by the utility and the connectivity and devices used by the EC-100. The following is a more detailed description of these screens. Main Menu and Home Screen Figure A. Insert Batteries Figure B.

The C4-EC100EXT provides a touch screen interface from the user to the smart meter on his home for energy usage related information. When the C4-EC100EXT is used with the C4-WT100 Thermostat, it allows for remote control of the thermostat. The C4-EC100EXT contains a WiFi transceiver and two Zigbee transceivers. The WiFi transceiver and one of the Zigbee transceivers use traces on the PCB as antennas. . The second Zigbee transceiver has an external antenna connected to the PCB via a coaxial cable and mounts on the back of the C4- EC100EXT. The C4-EC100EXT was tested using 2 power supplies that supply power to the USB port of the C4-EC100EXT. The power supplies used in testing were the FranMar DSC- 6PFA-05 and the Sparkle FSP010-DWDA1. 3 AA batteries supply power in the event of a power outage. The C4-EC100EXT 802.11b/g transceiver uses 11 channels in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz frequency range. The antenna is a trace on the PCB. See the table below. Channel Frequency (MHz) Channel Frequency (MHz) Channel Frequency (MHz) 1 2412 5 2432 9 2452 2 2417 6 2437 10 2457 3 2422 7 2442 11 2462 4 2427 8 2447 Testing was performed at the upper, middle, and lower channels using both 802.11b and 802.11g and data rates of 5.5, 11, and 48 mbps were used for the test results shown in this report. The antenna for Zigbee Radio #1 is a trace on the PCB. Two antennas may be used for the Zigbee Radio #2. The first is a Pulse W1049B050, 2.0 dBi ¼ wave dipole and the second is a Socaa FI-03-01.13*21.6CM-M, a 2.5 dBi, ¼ wave dipole. Testing was performed with the Socaa antenna. The C4-EC100EXT Zigbee transceivers use 15 channels in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz frequency range. See the table of frequencies below. Nemko-CCL, Inc.
