1 About the Reduxi Converter

1.1 What Reduxi does

Reduxi lets you take control of energy costs and use electricity efficiently, for sustainable development. Main features:

• Peak power management
• Solar power plant production management
• Optimisation of electricity consumption

Accurate measurement and energy consumption analysis are the first steps towards energy reduction. The Reduxi Converter connects P1 meters to the Reduxi system via the Reduxi Controller.

1.2 Compatible devices

The Reduxi P1 Wi‑Fi Converter is compatible with energy meters that follow the P1 standard. For example:

• Iskraemeco AM550

2 Connect the converter

First connect the Reduxi Converter P1 Wi‑Fi / Ultra to a Wi‑Fi network. Then connect it to the Reduxi Controller through the new TCP/IP connection. See also Connect P1 WiFi / Ultra converter to grid meters and Reduxi Controller.

2.1 Connect the converter to the smart meter

• Connect the smart meter to the Reduxi Converter with the RJ12 cable. Make sure the order of the wires in the RJ12 cable matches on both sides. A working cable is included in the package.
• The green LED on the converter starts to glow.

2.2 Connect the converter to your Wi‑Fi network

• Open the Wi‑Fi networks on your phone or computer and connect to the network named P1WIFI.
