Mini Transmitter
Setting up your NetSmart Wireless Gateway
1.Unpack the product. Plug the NetSmart Wireless Gateway into its mains adapter and
plug the mains adapter into a wall socket. The Gateway screen will start working and
probably show dashes instead of numbers.
2. Connect the network cable from the Gateway to your network or broadband router.
3. R
emove the plastic battery tab from the back of the transmitter unit; the transmitter
will now be activated.
4. T
he transmitters red light will start to flash every 6 seconds.
Pairing the NetSmart Wireless Gateway and the Mini Transmitter
1. Place the transmitter and the Gateway in the same room.
2. Locate the recessed tuning button on the front of the transmitter.
3. U
sing a used match, pen or similar, push and hold the recessed tuning button until the
LED on the transmitter has flashed once, then release.
4. Upon releasing the red LED on the transmitter will rapidly flash for a minute.
3. Choose a place on the cables length where there is some room around and behind it.
Encircle the cable with the jaw of the CT. Please note, it should not be ‘clamped’ onto
the cable. It is safe to ease the cable forwards to make room, provided this is done
gently.
4. Place the transmitter in any suitable dry location, as high as possible where it will
not fall within the length of its cable. As soon as this is done, the Gateway will start
to work. No electrical damage can occur to either the electrical installation or the
transmitter by choosing the wrong cable.
Pairing an additional display
1. Plug your additional display into its mains adapter and plug the mains adapter into a
wall socket.
2. Place the transmitter and the Gateway in the same room as the additional display.
5. W
hile the LED on the transmitter is flashing, use the large round button on the top of
the Gateway to reach the main screen (this is the screen that shows 0). Now press
and hold the large round button until the Gateway’s red LED flashes, then release the
button. The main Gateway screen will pair to the transmitter, clear and then revert to
normal operation.
3. You will need to pair both the gateway and the display simultaneously or within a few
seconds of each other. 6. After about a minute, the transmitter LED will revert to flashing once every 6 seconds.
The Gateway’s main screen will now show ‘0 Watts’. If the Transmitter’s fast flashing
stops before you are ready; start from the beginning again.
6. Upon releasing the red LED on the transmitter will rapidly flash for a minute.
Fitting the Mini transmitter to your meter
1. N
ow the transmitter and display are paired, take the transmitter and its attached CT
jaw to the property’s electricity meter.
2. F
ind the thick round wires connected to the electricity meter. The CT jaw should be
placed around the live cable which runs from your meter to your fuse box, this is
usually the fourth cable from the left.
