Install the Climkit Gateway

This article describes the on-site installation of the Gateway. For the equipment to function, configuration on the Climkit platform is also required. Links are provided at the end of the document.

Climkit Gateway Installation

  1. Connect the 24V AC/DC power supply electric cable to the + and - ports of the device.
  2. Connect the Modbus meters RS485 bus to the A, B, and SG (for GND) ports of the device.
  3. Connect the Ethernet/RJ45 port (LAN) to the router.
  4. The device starts up in a few minutes and 4 LEDs on the front panel indicate the Gateway status:
    1. "Lightning" lit blue: the Gateway is correctly powered. It flashes during startup.
    2. Orange "Globe" indicates the connection status:
      1. fast flashing: the Gateway has started correctly but is not configured. It must be added to a site so that it can download its configuration, including the list of meters to read on site.
      2. slow flashing: the Gateway has started correctly but is not connected to the Internet. Check the router connection.
      3. continuously lit: the Gateway has started, is configured, and is connected to the Internet.
    3. "Tx" flashes: the Gateway is sending a reading command to a device, such as an electricity meter, connected to the RS485 bus.
    4. "Rx" flashes: the Gateway receives the requested information from the device. When the Gateway successfully reads a meter, Tx and Rx flash almost simultaneously.
