Cannot pair a controller Pairing a controller requires a good radio connection between the controller and Asema E Make sure you have no interfering elements between the devices and the distance is short enough For troubleshooting purposes you may want to move your Asema E closer to the controller to see how distance affects the radio connection Use the bar indicators to check the field strength if necessary Slow response to commands If your controller works but the operation seems sluggish this is most likely due to poor radio cover age The commands are slow because they need to be resent many times before a valid command can be pushed through To improve the response you may want to place the devices differently to avoid radio disturbance Placing another controller in between the devices may also help as a repeater Note also that radio antennas are always directional to some directions and reflections from walls and other structures will affect the way radios work Try to move or rotate your Asema E a bit this may help the radio connection considerably Troubleshooting ASEMA 10 11 Recycling At the end of its serviceable life this product should not be treated as household or general waste It should be handed over to the applicable collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment or returned to the supplier for disposal You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by

To perform the manual reset you must have the controller connected to mains power Then simply press the reset button The controller will beep as an indication of reset You can find the reset button as follows On an Asema S1 the reset button is the transparent button with blinking red LED light On an Asema 52 the reset button is the gray button in front marked with RESET On an Asema S3 the reset button is the transparent button with blinking red LED light found under the top cover of the device Mesh networking and repeaters Mesh networking means that controllers with a radio can relay messages automatically between them and this way extend the range of communication or go around obstacles Thus they work automatically as repeaters of messages for each other Asema S series controllers and Asema M series meters can automatically form a mesh network You do not have to do anything to enable mesh networking the devices will do this automatically However you may benefit from knowing the topology of the mesh network as placing a controller between two controllers that have trouble communicating with each other may improve the situation To get most out of mesh networking take a look at the radio quality signals of the controllers Read 2 3 Radio quality measurement to see how this is done The Hop count measure tells you how many repeaters are between the Asema E and the controller you are analyzing If you see a low hop count
