Scope of delivery

  • Communication module

  • Info sheet

  • The power supply unit and the Ethernet connection cable are not included in the scope of delivery!

1.3 Establish Network Connection

  1. Connect your ECOLOG-PRO RBR to the mains via the supplied power supply unit
    1a. As soon as the power is connected, the left LED of the ECOLOG-PRO RBR lights up red

  2. Connect the ECOLOG-PRO RBR to the Internet by connecting it to your modem, router or local area network.
    2a. As soon as the connection to the network is established, the left LED lights up yellow, indicating that the device is connected to the network
    2b. Finally, the left LED lights up green, indicating that the module is connected to the monitoring system.

1.4 Parameterizing the ECOLOG-PRO RBR

elproCLOUD

When the ECOLOG-PRO RBR is connected to the elproCLOUD, it is preconfigured for this connection. If you want to change from DHCP to a specific IP address, subnetmake and default gateway, the ECOLOG-PRO RBR can be parameterized using a web service on the elproCLOUD. >>https://web.elpro.cloud/bridge

The RBR to be parameterized can be selected by the host name (equal to the ID number).

elproMONITOR

If the ECOLOG-PRO RBR is connected to elproMONITOR, then the corresponding connection must be parameterized in the network. The RBR Configuration Tool service tool can be used for this purpose.

Factory settings

Press and hold the factory reset button on the bottom for more than 3 seconds to reset the module's factory settings:

  • The left LED flashes green three times briefly.

  • All measuring modules are disconnected.

  • The communication module is disconnected from the network.

  • The network settings are reset to the default settings: The module is configured for dynamic IP addresses (DHCP client); host name equals ID number.
