2.Dangers and Warnings #

Failure to comply with the instructions in this manual shall not hold the manufacturer liable.
Any intervention on the product must be carried out by a qualified person.
Product replacement must be performed by a qualified person.
The device must be used in accordance with the specifications outlined in this documentation. Otherwise, there is a risk of danger.
No part of the device should be replaced or removed.
Disconnect all power sources before working on this device.

3.Installation and Implementation #

Before starting the installation of the SQUID Pro Rogowski, ensure that you use a 5VDC – 2A power supply positioned at the head to power the device. It is important to maintain and separate the wiring of Low Voltage Safety Circuits (TBTS) from the circuits under dangerous voltage to ensure safety and proper system operation.
When wiring, make sure to observe the polarity of the power connector of the SQUID Pro Rogowski.

Connecting measurement coils to the SQUID Pro Rogowski is simplified thanks to a quick connector that can be screwed on by hand, eliminating the need for tools. Connect them to the 12 connectors on the top and bottom of the unit. Be sure not to exceed the maximum current specification for each measuring coil, to avoid any risk of damage or overheating.

To ensure safety when installing the coils, it is imperative to carry out this operation when the circuit is de-energized. Use only Ewattch SQUID-PRO-ROGO-BOUCLE-100MM measurement coils, specially designed for optimum compatibility with the SQUID Pro Rogowski.

The Squid Pro Rogowski‘s current measurement coilshave a specific installation direction, which must be respected. Coils must be installed so that the arrow points towards the energy consumer.

By following these recommendations for installation and operation, you can ensure safe and efficient operation of your SQUID Pro Rogowski electric sub-metering system.

2 wiring modes are possible with the SQUID Pro Rogowski :

  • Three-phase mode for measuring 4 three-phase outputs.
    Caution: When wiring, please follow the instructions in diagram 1.
  • Single-phase mode for measuring 12 single-phase outputs.
    Caution: When wiring, please follow the instructions in diagram 2.

  • LoRaWan mode: OTAA
  • ADR: activated
  • Messages confirmed: desactivated
  • Periodic reconnection to the LoRawan network: deactivated
  • Time between two radio communication of mesures: 10 minutes

6.LoRaWAN Frame Description (Payloads) #

The Squid Pro transmits its data in a raw format over various LoRaWAN public and private networks. The section below shows you how to decode the frames (payloads) sent by the Squid Pro.

Periodic Frames

Periodic frames contain the data measured by the Squid Pro.

Example of a transmitted periodic frame (HEX format):

00 26 40 C3 860400 040000 28E866 3C6692 D29766 9FB967 040000 040000 DF0C01 040000 050000 32A400

Tip – Rollover Management

To facilitate the management of energy measurement rollovers, the most significant bit of these measurements is used to indicate if a rollover has already occurred. It is never reset to 0. Therefore, during a rollover, the measurement will transition from 0xFFFFFF to 0x800000.

Tip – LoRaWAN Payload Decoding

To facilitate the integration of products communicating via the LoRaWAN network, Ewattch has developed a payload decoder available at this address: https://ewattch-documentation.com/?page_id=2215.
