Overview

Where it works

GWU-4 is a DIN-rail communication module. It reads the devices on an RS485 Modbus RTU bus, sends their data to the EIM center over 4G LTE Cat 1 or 2G, and writes parameters received from the EIM center into their Modbus registers. It has two digital inputs for tamper contacts and switches and runs on 9 to 24 VDC.

Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715)

  1. Full integration with the GridBit system for energy monitoring and management (EIM)
  2. Reading data from, configuring and controlling the other devices on the Modbus bus remotely over 4G LTE
  3. Monitoring the state of its two digital inputs, for example tamper contacts and switches

Transport, warranty and maintenance
Transport and storage
Protect the module from shocks and avoid extreme conditions. Store it in the original packaging.
Warranty
Two years from the date of manufacture against manufacturing defects. Modifications to the product after the publication date of its documentation release the manufacturer from liability. The manufacturer is not responsible for typographical or other errors in the documentation.
Maintenance
Under normal conditions the module needs no maintenance. Light dirt comes off with a dry or slightly damp cloth; for heavier dirt use non-aggressive cleaning products. Always disconnect the power supply first, keep liquids out of the housing and reconnect the power only when the module is completely dry.
