The Wireless AC sensors are used to measure PV Inverter power (A) and energy (kWh), and show it on a Color Control GX and the VRM Portal. An installation will have one gateway, and one sensor per phase. The gateway connects to the Color Control via Ethernet, and is the DECT hub for the sensors.

[ add measurement accuracy etc. or at the end of this doc. ]

• TIM000100100 - Wireless AC sensor 25A (one for each phase)
• TIM000100000 - Wireless Sensor gateway (one for every system)

Included with the gateway:

• 30cm RJ45 cable 30cm
• AC adapter

Note that instead of powering the Wireless Sensor gateway with the AC adapter, it is also possible to power it from one of the USB ports in the Color Control GX. Purchase a separate male Micro-USB to male USB cable, not available from Victron. (note, it is not yet sure if the CCGX can supply enough power, we are currently testing this.)

1. Disconnect the AC power
2. Connect the gateway to the network using the supplied RJ45 cable.
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the gateway

For each phase, connect the AC sensor according to the schematic below. Neutral on top side. Line on bottom side. Make sure the direction of the current is correct

[ plaatje ]

After powering op the sensor for the first time, it needs to be paired with the gateway. The led on the sensor will be blinking red, to indicate that it is not yet paired to a gateway.

If it is not blinking red, but both the green and the red LED are on, it needs to be unpaired first: press and hold the little reset button in the sensor. As soon as you press the button the LED will turn green. Hold the button until the LED starts blinking red.

To let the gateway search for and pair with free sensors, press the button on the gateway for 5 seconds. The led on the gateway will start blinking red. First slow then both leds (gateway and sensor) will start blinking red fast. If sensor is found the led will shortly blink orange.

The discovery will take anywhere between 30 seconds and 12 minutes. The 12 minutes can be because of a software update.

When the update process is completed then the sensor LED will be off, and the gateway LED will be green with short intermittent blips of red.
