EQ Wave Quick Start

What You Need

• EQ Wave unit
• Power source (4.5–36V DC for v1.2+ or 85–528V AC)
• Network connection
• Pre-configured EQ Gateway or other system running EQ Coherence software

Steps

1. Physical Installation

Mount the Device:

• Install on DIN rail or mount to panel

Connect Power:

• For DC power: Connect to VDC +/- terminals (4.5–36V DC for v1.2+)
• For AC power: Connect to L/L1 and L2/N terminals (85–528V AC line-to-neutral or line-to-line)

Connect Network:

• Connect POF (plastic optical fiber) cable between sensor and media converter. Each end has one transmit (red light visible) and one receive port; connect transmit to receive on each side.
• Connect media converter to gateway via RJ45 Ethernet
• Power the media converter via USB from the gateway or a separate USB power adapter

2. Network Configuration

The gateway software will communicate with EQ Wave using the following network settings by default:

• IP address: 192.168.10.10 (fixed)
• Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Future firmware updates will support automatic network configuration.

3. Verify Operation

Check LEDs on EQ Wave:

• On startup, both LEDs flash red briefly
• LINK turns solid green when fiber optic link is established with endpoint
• ACT turns solid green when actively transmitting data

Confirm in EQ Sight:

Open a web browser and navigate to the gateway’s LAN address or your pre-assigned subdomain (e.g., [site].pq.app). The sensor should appear as a connected device.

Next Steps

See Installation Guide for voltage and current sensor wiring, safety precautions, mounting specifications, and cable routing.

See Configuration Guide for network settings, power system parameters, and advanced features.

See Data Access Guide for protocol specifications, sample code, and API documentation.

Troubleshooting

• Both LEDs off — Verify power at the input terminals. Check polarity for DC inputs.
• LINK LED off — Verify the POF cable is fully seated at both the sensor and media converter. Check that the media converter has power.
• Sensor not in EQ Sight — Confirm the gateway’s sensor-facing interface is on the same subnet (192.168.10.x).
