Useful Information

Registration

Follow the procedure below when you want to:

Add an additional terminal to your HD-PLC network.

Re-register the master and terminal after resetting the master.

1.

Confirm that the mode selector of the master adaptor is set to 

MASTER

.

2.

Confirm that the mode selector of the terminal adaptor that you want to 
register is set to 

TERMINAL

.

3.

Connect the AC cord of each adaptor to each adaptor’s 

AC IN

 jack.

4.

Plug the AC cord of each adaptor to the same wall outlet.

Registration may not be successful if the adaptors are connected to 
different wall outlets during registration.

5.

Reset the terminal by pressing the 

FACTORY DEFAULT RESET

 button on the 

terminal for about 3 seconds (see page 14).

Check the position of the adaptor’s mode selector (see page 9) and 
make sure that you reset the terminal adaptor (not the master).

6.

Press the 

SETUP

 button on both adaptors for about 1 second. The order in 

which they are pressed does not matter.

The 

PLC

 indicator of each adaptor will begin to flash in blue.

Make sure you press the 

SETUP

 button on each adaptor within 5 

seconds of each other.

While registering an additional terminal, communication between all 
other adaptors may be disrupted for about 10 seconds.

7.

When the 

PLC

 indicator of each adaptor lights in blue, registration was 

successful.

If  the 

PLC

 indicators do not light in blue, see page 16.

8.

Wait 30 seconds, then unplug the AC cords from the wall outlet and place the 
adaptors where you plan to use them (see page 10).
