An electronic format (PDF) version of this manual is available, for free download, at: http://www.essence-grp.com/pages/WeR/WeRFullUserGuide.
Installation of the We.R™ System A smartphone (optional) for remote system management. A small screwdriver. The Central Control Unit’s identification serial number should be registered prior to the installation process. Stickers with the serial number can be found inside the battery/SIM-card cavity and under the Central Control Unit’s base as illustrated in Figure 4 below.
Installation of the We.R™ System It is arranged in the exact same sequence the system needs to be built-up, including the steps of software installation and registration. Therefore, it is advised to follow this sequence to ensure properly functioning system. The We.R™ system is based on independent components described below. The order of presenting these components is the recommended order of their installation.
Installation of the We.R™ System It is a two-way, wireless Central Control Unit comprising the main element of the We.R™ system. 3.2.1. The Central Control Unit Function The Central Control Unit (CCU) is responsible for wireless communication with the array of We.
Installation of the We.R™ System Registration of the CCU’s serial number (see page 30) should also be completed. 3.2.2.1. CCU Positioning Recommendations The CCU should be installed on: A flat surface. In a central home/office location with: Unshielded adequate cellular coverage (if cellular communication is to be used). Close to an Internet connection outlet (modem/router connection, if Internet communication is to be used).
Installation of the We.R™ System 3. In case the Internet is intend to be used as the primary external communication channel: Plug the LAN cable into the RJ45 socket on the back panel of the CCU and its other end into a network socket (in the Internet router or modem). LED 2 LED 1 Figure 7: Insertion of LAN Cable into the CCU Socket The CCU back panel LAN (RJ45) socket provides two (2) LED status indications, active in accordance with the IEEE 802.
Installation of the We.R™ System 5. Insert the backup battery into the battery cavity, above the SIM-card. Note: Battery’s label should be facing up and the battery’s contacts – aiming towards the base of the CCU. Figure 8: Insertion of the Backup Battery 6. Return the battery cover back to place. 7. Plug the Power Supply's cable into the mini-USB™ connector on the back of the CCU. 8. Plug the adapter’s cube into an electric power outlet socket.
Installation of the We.R™ System Notes: The LED switching from orange to green indicates that the CCU is properly active. It takes approximately 5 minutes for the LED to switch. The Central Control Unit is now ready for the next step of registration and setup. Note: The initial registration is a web-only procedure and therefore could be exercised utilizing the Web Application only (cannot be done with the Mobile Application). 3.2.3.
Installation of the We.R™ System The registration procedure is done via the We.R™ Web Application as follows: 1.
