Description of the 433.92MHz RFXPower 230Volt.
The RFXPower
device measures the real used electricity power in kilowatt-hours. To calculate
the used power the line voltage and the current is measured. The total measured
value is transmitted at predefined intervals.
The maximum load that can be measured with the standard Current Transformer is
100 Ampere.
Installation:
A Current Transformer must be clamped around 1 wire of the power line and the
device must be connected to a wall socket. The RFXPower unit starts then
measuring the power usage and transmits the total measured value at predefined
intervals.
The interval of the reporting can be changed by the user from 30 seconds, 1
minute, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
The address of the RFXPower can be set by the user so that theoretically up to
256 units can co-exist.
The preferred receiver for the RFXPower data is the RFXCOM X10 receiver. This
receiver can receive the full 48 bits data packets. The maximum power that can
be measured before the counter rolls over to zero is 167772.15kWh. The 48 bits
data packet enables a parity check on the received data.
The W800 receiver can receive 32 bits and is therefore able to receive the first
32 bits of the data packet. These 32 bits contain the RFXPower unit address and
the lower 2 bytes of the measured value. The maximum power that can be measured
before the counter rolls over to zero is then 655.35kWh. A parity check is not
possible and the configuration packets can not be received by the W800.
The Homeseer ACRF plug-in version 1.2.0.3 and up supports the RFXPower with the
RFXCOM receiver only.
