• 3. Installation
- It is strongly recommended to avoid damp or wet places for installation.
- EG-SMS should be connected to the European AC wall socket of the standard DIN 49 440.
3.1. Getting started
- Connect EG-SMS to the wall socket first and connect the GSM antenna.
- EG-SMS can now be switched on and off by means of the Main rocker switch.
- Two (the first and the last) sockets of EG-SMS are marked with the symbol 📄. These two sockets are switched on and off by means of the Main rocker switch and cannot be managed by the computer – so they are called non-manageable sockets in this manual.
- If EG-SMS is switched on then the red indicator POWER is lit. In this case both non-manageable sockets are now live and connected to the power supply.
- The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2, Socket 3 and Socket 4 can be managed or pre-programmed via GSM. They are called manageable sockets in this manual.
- The manageable sockets of EG-SMS can be programmed to be on or off. The current status of each manageable socket is represented by the corresponding indicator which will be lit if socket has power to it.
- If the Main rocker switch (Figure #1) is turned off then the manageable sockets cannot be switched on via either GSM or the hardware schedule.
- As soon as you turn the Main rocker switch (Z) on then it is be able to turn the manageable sockets on and off.
- Password button (Figure #2) When this button is pressed, the new password, which is received in incoming password SMS, will be applied. See Clause.3.3 or 5 for setting the password
- To protect the connected devices from possible high current and short circuit EG-SMS is equipped with the automatic circuit breaker, which is embedded in the Main rocker switch.
- When EG-SMS is powered off or disconnected from power mains it stays connected the GSM network and accessible via SMS for some hours (2-4 hours) because of Lilon battery. After the battery is discharged it becomes inaccessible until it is powered on. When battery is discharged, the device shall be kept in power on state for some 12 hours for full restore the battery charge.
NOTE: If the total power consumption (or peak power) of the devices, connected to EG-SMS exceeds 2200 Watts, the circuit breaker may power EG-SMS off. In this case, please, remove the excessive load
first and then press the Main rocker switch on to restore the power supply (Figure #3).
