How to change the pulse input voltage threshold on your Octopus
Pulses offer a simple way to output the amount of energy that has been measured by a meter (electrical, thermal, gas, water, etc). Pulses are brief bursts of DC (direct current) voltage, with each burst having an abrupt beginning (or rise) and an abrupt ending (or decay), and their output is typically proportional to energy…
Connect your Accuenergy AcuVIM-II meters to Wattics with the Octopus
1 Electrical Wiring Make sure that all devices are powered off before any wiring is done. The Acuvim II’s RS485 terminals of communication are A, B, and S (14, 15, 16): A is differential signal + B is differential signal – S is connected to the shield of the twisted…
Connect your Carlo Gavazzi EM21 meters to Wattics with the Octopus Gateway
1 Electrical Wiring Isolate unused RS485 cable wires before powering up the Octopus to avoid unexpected shorts. Switch on the resistor for daisy chain installations. Write down your meter’s Modbus/rs485 settings: Modbus address / baud rate / number of bits / parity / stop bits For more information check the following…

Connecting RS485 Modbus devices to the Wattics Octopus
This post outlines the wiring steps for connecting RS485 Modbus devices (e.g. Modbus meter) to the Wattics Octopus. Before you start please make sure you have all material available: Modbus device (e.g. Modbus meter) Octopus Gateway unit RJ12 interface cable, to connect the Modbus device to Octopus Gateway unit RS485 (Modbus) pinout The…
Connecting pulse outputs to the Wattics Octopus
This post outlines the wiring steps for connecting pulse units to the Wattics Octopus Gateway and I/O Extension units. Pulse units may come from pulsed meters such as Utility electricity/gas/water meters, electrical, water, gas and heat submeters, PLCs and other production control systems. Once the pulse units wired, the Octopus devices must be configured to…
Connecting temperature probes to the Wattics Octopus
You can connect the 2-wire temperature probes to the Octopus Gateway or I/O Extension units in any available analog input. NTC probes with resistor values from 5k and up (NTC5k, NTC10k, etc) are recommended, with 0-10V or 4-20mA output. Depending on the output of our temperature probe (0-10V or 4-20mA), you will need an Octopus…
