WARNING!
Danger if cables are mixed up
If data cables and live mains cables are mixed up, this can result in personal in-
jury and damage to property.
▶
Use data cables that are clearly distinguishable from the mains cables.
▶
Mark cables (e.g. by labelling)
NOTE!
Defective cabling is signalled by the red LED indicator flashing once.
1
Connect the data communication cable in parallel to the Ohmpilot and sys-
tem components.
2
Activate the terminating resistor on the first and last device of the Modbus
cable. Activate the resistor on the Ohmpilot with DIP switch number 5.
3
Set the Modbus address using DIP switches 1-3.
Default address: 40 (for future applications, the Modbus address can be
changed using the DIP switches on the Ohmpilot.)

Establish a WLAN connection to implement further settings:
1
Press the button on the Ohmpilot 2x.
The blue LED flashes twice. The WLAN access point is activated for 30
minutes.
2
Activate the "Ohmpilot" WLAN network on the mobile device or PC.
