Joining the smart energy network
The P450 IHEM will need to be joined to a ZigBee Smart Energy network that includes at least one
ZigBee Smart Energy Certified Metering Device to receive and display energy consumption data.
The routine for joining is very simple:
If the P450 IHEM determines it is in an un-joined state when it powers on it will scan to find ZigBee
Smart Energy networks available for joining. When an internal list of available networks opens for
joining has been compiled; the P450 IHEM will attempt to join each in turn. Only the network that has
been instructed to allow that specific P450 IHEM to join will permit joining; successful joining therefore
requires registration of the P450 IHEM device with the Utility.
Registration of the P450 IHEM device with the utility could be an end user driven process as
described immediately below or may alternatively be part of an integrated commissioning process
applicable to a wider smart meter installation as described further below.
3.1.1
Consumer controlled joining
If an end user is expected to register the P450 IHEM with the utility themselves the steps below need
to be described or elaborated in any end user literature provided to them:
1. To register the P450 IHEM with your utility contact your energy supplier at the contact point
they have provided (web portal or telephone line) with the
Installation Code
and
MAC
address to hand. You will find the
Installation Code
and
MAC
address on the product
packaging and on the label in the battery compartment of the P450 IHEM. You may need to
remove the battery compartment cover if you have already fitted it as the label is in that
recess.
2. After communicating your product
Installation Code
and
MAC
address to your energy
supplier; return to the P450 IHEM and connect to the mains. This will initiate a join to the
Smart Energy network. Your energy supplier will do the rest and your P450 IHEM will join the
Smart Energy network shortly. When it has joined the network the P450 IHEM will display the
home screen.
