5.2.3.4 Apartment basis address
The apartment basis address defines the first randomly assigned address of the digitalSTROM Server or digitalSTROM Meter in the digitalSTROM installation and assists as additional addressing in preventing overlapping effects between systems installed in very close vicinity.
The Apartment Basis Address which is valid for the digitalSTROM installation must be configured once in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator on the digitalSTROM Server. The numbering of the digitalSTROM Meters is then automatically transmitted to the connected digitalSTROM Meters.
The freely selectable address is between 0 ... 62. The basis address + the maximum number of connected digitalSTROM Meters must not exceed 62.
This allows a maximum of 62 digitalSTROM power circuits (digitalSTROM Meters) located closely to each other to be operated in a building.
In a multi-family residential building with several independent digitalSTROM installations it is therefore especially important to ensure that the address ranges do not overlap.
The address should only be changed if problems are detected in connection with the neighbouring installation.
