by | Sep 3, 2024 | GRIDlink E Series-Group, Quick Start Guide ADR

If this is your first installation, it is recommended that you contact tech support prior to arriving at the job site and schedule time for us to be available to answer any questions that may arise during installation.

Network Planning

If it is intended to test after installation using the Cloud then the local network provided should have a path to the Internet.

Static IP Address

GRIDlinks come pre-configured as DHCP clients for your convenience. If the customer network requires a Static IP Address, see Change DHCP to Static IP – E Series

System Time

If power is OFF for a long duration, the clock at boot-up may not have a chance to sync with the NTP server thereby causing tags not to update to GRIDview and participate at the wrong time in AutoDR Events. To synchronize, see Synchronize System Clock – E Series

Easy 4 Step Installation

Relay 782-2C terminals

1. Connect the Load

The E-T24 Series features a DPDT relay output for Moderate or High Signal. Alternatively, all DR Signal elements can be accessed via Modbus TCP. (Refer to the Online User Manual for detailed instructions.)
To test the contact, use the blue push button on the top, or lift the small lever under the button to hold the contact in place.

2. Connect to LAN

Connect the Local Area Network cable to port 5 (WAN). The VENs will connect to their respective VTNs through this port.

Ports LAN1 through 4 are configured as a DHCP server. Any laptop configured as a DHCP client can use any of these ports to configure a Static IP or verify network connectivity.

On the connected laptop, open a command prompt and ping 8.8.8.8 to confirm a valid Internet connection.

3. Connect the E-T24-ADR2.0b

Attach the green 4-pin terminal block from the relay-terminal assembly to the E-T24-ADR2.0b.

4. Provide Power

If a DC Power Supply was included, provide AC voltage to L N G terminals

Otherwise provide 24VDC from a regulated power source.

You are finished!
