Installation

Carry out a location survey beforehand: discuss the wishes with the customer, look in the meter cabinet and note the brand and type of the devices to be connected. Check whether these devices are supported under Integrations and then go through the materials checklist.

The Navigator Pro is a DIN rail module that is 9 modules wide. In addition, reserve space for the circuit breaker of the power supply. If there is not enough space, extend the meter cabinet with an additional distribution board.

Connect the Navigator single-phase or three-phase behind a circuit breaker or residual current circuit breaker of at least 6A, or use an existing group. Use wire with a cross-section of 0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm². See Power supply for the wiring diagrams.

We recommend a network cable, as it provides the most stable connection. In almost all cases, the connection then works immediately. WiFi is also possible; you set it up when you start the Navigator for the first time.

There are probably restrictions on the network, such as MAC address filtering. These restrictions must be lifted by the network administrator. The green status light on the Navigator shows whether the network connection is active.

Connect both P1 meters to the Navigator and install a separate circuit breaker per meter. One RJ12 cable is included; for the second meter you need an extra RJ12 cable, which you can also order from Currentt. If the customer wants to switch automatically between PAP and SAP, you also need contactors. See Dual meter.

Yes. You can connect multiple devices in parallel to the RS-485 bus, even if they have different settings for baud rate, parity and stop bits. Make sure each device has a unique Modbus address and always use twisted-pair cable.

Devices without their own control input, such as a boiler, are switched with a contactor on one of the 8 outputs of the Navigator. An SG-ready heat pump is controlled with two contactors. Each output can switch a maximum of 60W, so choose a contactor whose coil needs less than 60W.

Use CT clamps. The Navigator has 8 inputs for CT clamps, which measure the power and energy of a group without interrupting the wire. Always connect the wires of the CT clamp to the Navigator first, before placing the clamp around the conductor.

Yes. When no second meter (SAP) is connected, the second P1 port of the Navigator works as an output. You can connect a third-party P1 dongle to it, which is powered by the Navigator. See P1 meter.

Start up the Navigator and configure the basic settings and the network connection. Then set a password for the local web app and connect the devices via the installation wizard. Finally, link the Navigator to a location in the Currentt App and set up the system.

On the Navigator, go to the Settings › Password menu and press and hold the button for five seconds. Then open the local web app to set a new password. See Set password.

Note: a forgotten PIN code of the Navigator itself cannot be recovered and means the Navigator has to be replaced.
