Installation

Mounting#

The MIVO Connect is designed for indoor use and must be mounted in an electrical enclosure with a suitable IP rating and supported on a DIN-Rail. The enclosure must cover the power terminals and the expansion connector.

The product must be mounted vertically with terminal connectors 1 and 2 in Product Description facing upwards. No other rotation is allowed.

Always allow for good ventilation clearances: - 40mm above - 20mm below

This prevents overheating. Keep other heat-generating devices more than 10mm from this product.

Mounting Instructions

  1. Tilt the product up and place the topmost latches on top of the DIN-Rail.
  2. Tilt the product down until the bottom latch snaps in place. If necessary, use a small screwdriver to pull the latch (item 16 in Product Description) down.

Removal Instructions

Ensure the power is disconnected before proceeding.

  1. Disconnect all cables.
  2. Pull the bottom latch (item 16 in Product Description) down with a screwdriver and tilt the product upwards.
  3. Lift the device up and move the product straight out.

Power#

The device must only be used on 230V 50Hz AC mains, protected by a fuse of 16A or less (6A recommended). Power should be connected to the three power terminals (item 1 in Product Description)) on the top left side of the device. The terminals support cables ranging from 0.75mm² to 1.5mm². A circuit breaker must be installed to break both Line and Neutral during servicing. Protective Earth must be connected.

Fixing the Power Cables

  1. Strip 8mm of all three wires (the figure on the side of the terminal can be used as a reference for length).
  2. Push down the orange button with a screwdriver, insert the cable at a 45° angle, and release the button.
  3. Repeat for the other two terminals.

Disconnection of Power Cables

Push down the orange button using a screwdriver, pull the cable out, and then release the button.

Powering the Device from USB

For configuration purposes, the device can be powered from the USB port on the front. This is especially useful for configuration before assembly or when mains power is not available.

When the device is powered from USB, functionality is limited. Internal M-Bus and module communication are disabled.

SIM Card Disassembly

  1. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently push the SIM card inwards a few millimeters and then release.
  2. The SIM card should pop out sufficiently for you to grab it and pull it straight out.

Antenna Assembly

  1. Attach the SMA connector and screw the nut clockwise, avoiding spinning the whole antenna.
