Digital Input Wiring (2 Control Input & 2 Acquisition Input)

1. Passive switch (dry contact): passive contact signal, with two states (off/on), no polarity between the two contacts, such as various types of switches, buttons, etc.
2. Active switches (wet contact, DC5-12V): signals with voltage (high/low level, pulse), with two states (power/no power), polarity between the two contacts, such as liquid level detection, smoke detection, PLC output, infrared detection, flow detection, etc.

Relay Output Wiring

1. Low load wiring: Non-resistive load current no more than 5A or resistive load no more than 16A.
2. AC 220V load wiring: external load is AC 220V power supply. The metering function cannot be used in this method.
3. AC 380V (with null line) Load wiring: The external load is AC 380V with null line. The metering function cannot be used in this method.

If necessary, insert an AC contactor/intermediate relay between the product and the external load.

1. Rated load voltage > AC 250V
2. Non-resistive load current > 5A
3. Resistive load current > 16A

DEVICE SETUP OPTIONS

Option 1: Using Mobile App

Download the App from www.ubibot.com/setup, or search for ‘Ubibot’ on the App Store or Google Play.
We recommend you try to use the PC Tools in case the App setup fails, because the failure may be due to mobile phone incompatibility. The PC Tools is much easier to operate and is suitable for both Mac and Windows.

Option 2: Using PC Tools

• Download the tool from www.ubibot.com/setup.
• This tool is a desktop app for device setup. It is also helpful in checking setup failure reasons, MAC address, and offline charts. You can also use it to export offline data stored in the device internal memory.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR WiFi CONNECTION

• Launch the App and log in. On the home page, tap “+” to start adding your device.
• Then please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup. You can also view the demonstration video at www.ubibot.com/-setup for step-by-step guidance.

• Via our app and web console (http://console.ubibot.com), you are able to view the readings as well as configure your device, such as create alert rules, set data sync interval, etc.
• You can find and watch the demonstration videos at www.ubibot.com/setup.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR MOBILE NETWORK*

• Before you set up the device on mobile data, please check the APN information of the SIM card used for the UbiBot device.
• An APN (Access Point Name) provides the details your device needs to connect to mobile data through your network operator. APN details differ by network and you will need to get these from your network operator.
• With the device off, insert the SIM card as indicated in the picture. Launch the app and log in. Tap the “+” to start seng up the device. Please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup process. Please note, the setup will fail if you don’t have data allowance.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTION*

• STEP 1. Connect the device with power supply and plug the Ethernet cable.
• STEP 2. Launch the app and log in. On the home page, tap “+” to start adding your device. Then please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup. You can also view the demonstration video at www.ubibot.com/setup for step by step guidance.

SETUP USING PC TOOLS

• STEP 1. Launch the App and log in. With the device switched on, use the Type-C USB cable provided to connect your device to the computer. The PC Tools will automatically scan and recognize the product ID and enter the device page.
• STEP 2. Click “Network” on the left menu bar. There, you are able to set up the device on WiFi for all the models. For the SIM or Ethernet cable setup, please click on the corresponding button to continue.

DEVICE USE

1. Online control mode: you can remotely control relay operations through the UbiBot cloud platform, including opening/closing the relay, the overall synchronization or independent single-point control, timing and cycle setup, delaying tasks or defining trigger conditions through early warning rules and automation control.
2. Pules on/off mode: Pulse ON, i.e., when the relay is in the closed state, the relay can be set to disconnect for a period of time (set parameter*0.1s) and then close automatically. Pulse OFF, i.e., when the relay is in a disconnected state, the relay can be set to close for a period of time (set parameter*0.1s) and then disconnect automatically.
3. Local linkage mode: The device has 2 optocoupler inputs, which can be directly linked with the relay. It means that when the optocoupler input signal is effective, the corresponding relay will absorb/disconnect/no action; when the optocoupler input signal is canceled, the corresponding relay will disconnect/absorb/no action. The corresponding relationship between the optocoupler input and the relay’s absorption/disconnection/non-activation can be set through the PC tools or the UbiBot platform.
4. Safety interlock mode: The device supports safety interlock setting. Either relay is turned on, the other relay will be turned off.

FAQ

Device network configuration failure reasons

Please check if the WiFi account password is correct; Please check whether the router is working properly and the network connection is normal; Please make sure the device has entered the WiFi configuration mode; Please check whether the WiFi band is 2.4GHz and the channel is between 1 13; Please check the WiFi channel width is set to 20MHz or auto mode; WiFi security type: NR1 supports OPEN, WEP and WPA WPA2-personal; Poor signal strength, please check the WiFi or cell phone data traffic signal strength.

Ethernet network configuration failure reasons

Please check whether the network cable is properly connected to the equipment; whether the network cable is intact; whether the connected network can access the Internet; If the above points are not abnormal, and you still cannot activate the device, you need to check whether the network environment allows DHCP automatic IP allocation devices to access the network; or re-scan the device QR code, select Ethernet access advanced mode, and follow the APP prompts to manually assign IP to the device.

Reasons for failure to send device data

Check whether the router is working properly; If using the mobile data traffic provided by the SIM card* inside the device, you need to check whether the SIM card is activated; if the SIM card is activated, check whether the power supply of the device is normal; also check whether the amount of the mobile data traffic provided by the device SIM card is sufficient for the data transfer.
